Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located on the promenade, making it perfect for strolls along the seafront. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the outdated shower cubicle without support was a downside. The service was professional, offering first-class customer service, although there was room for improvement in some areas. The dining experience was great with freshly baked bread served, and the facilities met my expectations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were outdated, but I was pleasantly surprised with a nicely chilled bottle of wine. The service was top-notch, very professional, although there were minor hiccups in customer service. The location was great, right on the seafront, making it convenient for enjoying the promenade. The dining experience was satisfactory with included Sicilian pastries. The facilities were standard, nothing extravagant.
Despite the outdated shower cubicle and noisy generator affecting the bedroom redecoration, my stay at the hotel was overall positive. The service was professional, but there is room for improvement in customer relations. The seafront location was convenient, and the proximity to entertainment venues was a plus. The dining experience with included delicious marmalade was satisfactory. Facilities were decent with potential for upgrades, balancing value for money.
