Poor stay.
Room was cold as was the shower.
I have stayed here many times for work, reported these issues in the morning, but no follow up.
Also getting a VAT receipt for my meal was an issue.

Good value for money
We had a nice stay at this hotel which was in a good location. Good value for money which included a very nice breakfast.
Mattress was a bit old and uncomfortable and could do with being replaced.

The property is fairly old so presents a few challenges for some with limited mobility, like me.
However, when I asked to change my room due to a tricky set of stairs with no handrail causing issues, it was swifty dealt with and my luggage was moved.
It is a nice hotel with a very nice terrace overlooking the sea.
Breakfast is very nice and sitting on the terrace overlooking the sea is a very pleasant experience.

Reminded me of Barbados (a bit)
Nice room although a little warm and the smooth rounded shower temp control a bit hard to adjust with wet hands
Great view (from my bed you can only see the sea and sky and can only hear the waves lapping against the beach, just like when I was in Barbados)
Great location as right on the seafront and only 10 mins walk to the station
Parking might be difficult at peak holiday season
Nice breakfast
