Worst hotel it was more like a hostel We only spent 1night there, the mattress was so uncomfortable, I could feel the springs. I would not recommend this hotel. They had hired out the dinner to the Proms so there was no option to dine in the hotel. This hotel was only staffed at certain times of the day.

Special Stay

We had been to the hotel before, so knew what to expect. We had booked a double sea view, and that was exactly what we got, with walk in shower, all facilities for the disabled, even though I never told them, however I did mention that I had a blue badge though, so whether they picked this up I thank them. The food was excellent both breakfast and dinner. Most of the staff were very friendly and professional. The one lift broke down on the first day, but we were shown the staff lift if we needed it. The main lift was working by the early evening.
