My stay at the hotel was a bit disappointing. The rooms, located in the basement without windows, were overpriced and in need of maintenance. The service was friendly but disrupted by noisy guests. The location was convenient, close to the beach and city center, but lacked accessibility for those with mobility issues. The dining experience was satisfactory but could offer more variety. The facilities needed refurbishment.

The rooms were located in the equivalent of a basement with no windows, overpriced, and lacked heating. Showers didn't work, and the overall condition was run down.

The hotel had rooms located in the basement, and although the TV was small, the rooms were clean. I could hear the noise from the extractor fan of the neighboring hotel's kitchen. The price for a 2-night stay was £486. The service was great for a night before catching the ferry; the staff were energetic and accommodating. The location was excellent, close to the beach and other facilities, but not suitable for those with mobility issues due to a steep hill. The dining experience in the restaurant was good value in a comfortable setting. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
