“This is a historic hotel that is being renovated. The newly renovated rooms are very small but lovely and quiet. It is a few blocks from the train station and beach. On the main road with restaurants and bars right out the door.”

“Location, staff and room all excellent, the hotel is undergoing refurbishment so rooms are all shiny new. Despite the ongoing works for the new and yet to opened lobby this didn't impact on our stay.”
Chris

“Pour over coffee in the bedroom. Filter water on tap was brilliant. Decent gym for the size of hotel. Everything felt new, fresh and modern.”
Michele
United States United States
“The new makeover was beautiful but elevator not working, noise from construction, shower glass 12 inches too short and the shampoo bottles installed too close to where one stands so you hit it when trying to cleanse.”
Derek
United Kingdom United Kingdom
“Location is excellent, central to the shopping and restaurants (rather than the beach). Hotel is full of character. It was clean and well presented, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Family room was well-appointed and offered plenty of space.”
