Had a really lovely stay at the hotel, with reception being great and an upgraded room. Loved the breakfast and dinner and the view in the Compass Bar was great. Would definitely stay again. It’s not pristine and perfect everywhere but we found in had faded charm and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

8/10

Our room was 'a compact 'positioned at the rear overlooking the station. On the roof below were extraction vents which were noisy and extremely ugly. Having said this the room was clean with a nice sized bathroom, and cheap for the time of year.

Lovely room, excellent service from bar staff but breakfast a little disappointing from previous stays.
6-night trip

6/10

Reception staff were extremely helpful in sorting out a very minor problem, which was quickly rectified. But once you leave the reception area, the whole interior area needs some TLC. As a dog owner we completely understand the and have absolutely no problems with the reasons for separate dining areas, however there was zero assistance available in our assigned breakfast dining area.

This is a beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. Sure, the building itself is looking a little tired, but it has some stunning features in the public areas. Every member of staff is so friendly and helpful. Breakfast has plenty of choice, and the evening meals we had were superb. Our room had a fridge and a safe. As a woman, I also appreciated the magnifying mirror in the bathroom.

Amazing location for the beach and harbourside. BUT hotel extremely tired and dated in its decor. Toilets in reception/ bar area particularly awful. Wouldnt go back as feel the 4 star is not appropriate. The rooms are also not all sound proofed. I left my partner and daughter splashing around in the bath and could hear every word all the way down the corridor and by the lift. Also really disappointed that we wernt allowed to take an alcoholic drink next to the poolside on a beautiful weekend of weather.
