I especially appreciate the range of room types, including options for families and pet-friendly accommodations, and the on-site Indian restaurant is a delightful bonus.

sea viewfloor windowwindow gap

i found the location superb, right by the sea and near the pier. the room was bright. i also liked the view i got from the first floor windows a lot. it really added to my experience.

i noticed the weather was bad and a gap existed between the glass and the frame of the sash window in the bedroom. the curtains flapped throughout the night. i think fixing the window gap could improve the stay.

Excellent Seaside Stay

polite staffgreat locationpoor quality

The staff was amazingly polite, particularly the lady at reception who kept me updated regularly. The location is great, as it is next to shops and the beach. I found the room clean and quiet. Access to the hotel was easy using the keypad code.

My room lacked sound proofing , and I could clearly hear every move made by the upstairs neighbor. Everything seems relatively new , yet the quality looked poor.

Rooms

The room was spacious with a comfortable bed , and it included a mini fridge. The bathroom was generally clean , but it would benefit from closer attention to detail. There was also a view.

While the hotel does not have its own dining facilities , its location is convenient. Many restaurants and cafes are nearby. There are also shops close to the hotel.
