Good overall.
It was good overall. It isn't a 5 star luxury stay but it served its purpose well. If you're not fussy then it's good overall.

A good Hope Hotel
Did not stay in the Hotel but an associated property in a road behind. It worked out really well as you can park free after 6pm as long as you have moved the car before 9am. Room was big and comfortable but slightly musty stale. The staff really friendly and very good breakfast. Really good for a busy on the front hotel.

Amazing spot and great value
We had an amazing one night stay here. Family Room on the top floor, fantastic view of the sea and great for people watching. Toilet is down the hall, not that clean and fresh feeling. Showers down a floor, fine. Incredibly good value for such an amazing location right in the heart of things. We tried to stay a second night but unfortunately that room was booked and we were offered a room on the first floor but it seemed like it would be really noisy right over the pub. Seems like your experience really relies on getting a good room - and we really did. Can't wait to go back.

Did not stay was cancelled by rude gentleman on phone when i dared to enquire about parking which although listed as having parking it clearly does not ,pay an extra £20 + to park elsewhere some distance away .Does not state that this is a noisy public house but a hotel so glad i did not stay here ,stayed at camelia hotel which was far superior than this and far more reason too

The room was not what I saw online, they took to a guest house a few walking distance from the beach. The bed was not the king size deluxe room that I booked. The bathroom was so tiny it could not enter the two of us as we like to shower together. The toilet is so old. At night the neighbours were so noisy and smoking just by the open window.
Terrible! Terrible!! Terrible!!! Not worth the price.

Do not stay here
This is a hostel room above a very loud and awful pub. The room is a hostel room with a shared communal toilet. Once the pub closes at midnight the noise from customers continues into the night outside your room and the music can be heard below from your room. The description for this hotel is completely misleading. Avoid booking here
