Overall I wouldn’t stay again, our mattress was flat, we had a family room of 4 and we were expected to have one little fan between us which was emitting more dust and hot air then cold air. The room itself was clean at first glance but deeper it was dirty and had gum and sticky stuff stuck to the furniture. The bathroom was okay, the shower itself worked fine but the toilet and sink was unhygienic and the tap water was too hot to use. The lift didn’t work during the whole of our stay and we were put on the second floor. To get to the second floor you had to go through many different sections and the carpet had been removed on the stairs to the second floor. The pool was way smaller then in the picture and was dangerous. A metal pipe from the railing had fallen off and was just sitting in the pool for someone to trip on the water was dirty and there was mould in the bathroom and the swimming pool. There weren’t any facilities and it was very old. Lastly the place was blatantly racist, some of the people staying and staff would avoid us and keep conversation short. I would not recommend!!

I have to say this has been one of the worst stays at a hotel i have experienced. Upon entering the room it was clear it was in need of some tlc. The mattress was lumpy and could feel the springs. There was no aircon or a fan in my room in the middle of summer. I did manage to sorce a fan from reception but apparently i was lucky as they are usually all given out. The walls are like paper. I couod hear conversations of people in the room next to me and if they had their TV on this was also heard. The Wifi is weak and doesnt maintain a stable connection. I stayed for 4 days as i was working in the area and not once was housekeeping out to clean my room or replenish towels/toilet roll. The only positives i could bring from it was the food was ok from the bar and receptionists were friendly. I was going to speak to them about hiw uncomfortable the bed was but my colleague said she had the same issue so nothing would have been able to change in that regard. Overall im quite a positive person and have the attitude of 'it is what it is' However this experience was something i couldnt ignore.

You get what you pay for…

Overall a Pleasant stay. Location 15 minutes walk to the beach. Car park Free but limited spaces. The room decor outdated. It’s definitely brings back 80’s vibes. Furniture, tv and bathrooms all need to be updated. Internet WiFi slow. If you are on level 2 or 3 good luck to you finding your room. Lift not working during stay of 2 nights. Staff were friendly.

The overall stay was extremely disappointing. It was more like a motel than a hotel. The whole building looked like no-one cared about it with stained carpets, peeling wall paint, stained and just an overall outdated look. Lifts were out of order and there was an old people smell throughout the building. The games room had broken games and lacked any enticement. The beds were soft and uncomfortable and the lack of air conditioning made sleeping an impossibility during the mini heatwave the country was facing when we stayed. Leaving the windows open did little good as besides the heat you now faced an onslaught of noise from the seagulls and other guests. Quite frankly feel like l was robbed by having to lay what l did to stay here and l would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The only feature worth mentioning was the indoor pool which despite not being monitored by anyone - it was a decent size and clean.

Dissatisfied

The property is located at an ideal location, which made it easy to walk. Room cleanliness is poor, bathroom dirty and mouldy, and taps were difficult to turn both on and off. The beds very uncomfortable, the entire property could benefit from a renovation. However, breakfast didn't have many options, but it was ok.
