Fantastic Stay!

Our room had a wonderful sea view! The hotel provided frequent daily towel changes, I really appreciated this. Breakfast offered an excellent spread with numerous options. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The walk to the town center was a bit long, especially after a day of exploring. Public transport helped.

friendly stafftasty foodconvenient bus stopsmall floor spacelow tvuncomfortable viewing
The staff was nice! Food was very good with lots of choices and tasty options. Bar prices were very good. A young man sang one night, it was very good. A bus stop is over the road, it allows you to get to town. Near the horse tram, it was lovely, and the electric railway, great to go on.
Room 207 had a double and two singles. The floor space barely allowed two people to move around comfortably. The TV was on a stand about 18 inches off the floor. I had nowhere to sit and had to view it from the bed, the full screen was not visible.
