Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the beautifully decorated and spacious ground floor family rooms, which include convenient amenities like a fridge and a Dyson fan. The breakfasts are also a highlight, being perfectly cooked with plenty of choice. The location is ideal for accessing the South Cliff gardens and Italian Gardens just opposite, with Farrers and the beach only a short walk away; however, some guests have mentioned the many stairs in the building as a potential challenge. Many also enjoy the great views from the rooms.

The Premier Sea View room included a fridge, kettle, and hairdryer. I found a fan in the room, useful as it was warm. Also the room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast offered many choices. I enjoyed the hot breakfast both mornings.

The rainfall shower was not my personal preference, but there was plenty of hot water.
