Convenient Location and Friendly Service
convenient locationfriendly staffmold smell
The hotel is clean and the location is convenient. I found that the staff were friendly, and I got access to my room earlier than expected. The location near the gardens and main shopping area was a plus. Our double room provided a view of the gardens and the sea.
The bedroom window was open, and the room smelled strongly of mold. This impacted my breathing, so I almost had an asthma attack. I spent more money elsewhere next time.

I booked bed and breakfast and had dinner twice. There were printed menus for breakfast and dinner. I suggest the dinner food is labeled, so guests know if it is vegetarian, vegan, or meat.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
broken windowclosed bar
The weather was terrible, I get it, but rain came through the closed window. Seriously?!? I had to use towels to mop it up and reduce the noise, which wasn't the relaxing evening I hoped for. the bar was closed during the day. This hotel just doesn't want me to relax.

I've visited before, and this time it was even better. Newly refurbished rooms and lovely public areas made everything excellent. The price was especially good. The staff were helpful, and I would definitely come back again! I appreciated the central location and the gorgeous building. The refurbishment looks amazing.
The hotel allows dogs. Some urinated all over the front, so be careful where you are walking.

The location is excellent. The sea and shops are a short walk. The staff were friendly. The king size bed was great. The hotel was quiet inside and out.
I found that there was no air conditioning in the room I was staying in. There was no way to open the window to get fresh air into the space. The room became very hot and stuffy as a result
