Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a lovely area near the beach through the gardens. Although the rooms were a bit smelly and depressing, the air conditioning was a plus. The service was helpful despite some issues, and the dining was reasonably-priced but required advanced payment without seeing the quality. The location is good and close to the city, but parking was inconvenient. The facilities were basic.
The hotel had some room issues like walls held together with tape and slow shower. It felt uncomfortably hot inside. However, it was eventually sorted during my stay. The service was friendly but had limitations regarding pets. The location was okay, not too far to walk but not ideal either. The dining was subpar with limited options and cold tea.
The hotel is conveniently located, a short walk to the town and beach, with some drawbacks in room cleanliness and hot water availability. The service had some ups and downs, but overall satisfactory. The dining experience was a mixed bag. The hotel's central location is a definite plus but has room for improvement in facilities.
The hotel is in an odd location with rooms initially lacking in comfort and maintenance issues. However, after expressing our concerns, we were provided with a more suitable family room. Parking was a challenge but the hotel is well-connected with bus routes for exploring nearby locations.
I couldn't be happier with my stay. The room was good and clean and quiet, with a cozy and comfy bed, soft duvet cover, and pillows. However, the smoking room was filthy, with rock-hard beds that made for a complete nightmare to sleep on. The service was top-notch, with staff who knew the products well and were always happy to help, even with my stupid questions. The location was perfect, allowing me to walk everywhere and enjoy the seafront just opposite the smoking area. Dining was a bit of a letdown, especially the inedible options. Facilities were adequate, but some improvements are needed.
The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, though in need of some serious TLC, offered a reasonable price compared to the booking rate. However, the service left much to be desired, with unhelpful staff and noise disturbances throughout the night. The location was convenient for exploring the local area, but some maintenance issues were evident. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some shareable appetizers standing out. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
