Nice hotell in calm surroundings. Nice area a little outside the city senter. It was easy to take the buss from right outside the hotel to the city senter, and there is a big 24/7 open shop about 2 minutes walking from the hotel (ASDA). Also you can find decent eating/restaurants close by. The hotel and room was nice, and the staff was incredibly helpful. The breakfast was good, but I would have liked some more alternatives if I'm gonna be picky.

The room was spic and span and very clean. They had ample parking space and a restaurant that had a huge selection.. By far the best breakfast service of my Scotland trips. The rooms are a bit small but the beds were comfortable. The showers worked very well.. We stayed for 1 night and I would recommned this hotel. The bus stop that has the bus to the city centre/ castle is just a 2 min walk basically once the parking ends.

A good place to stay, I recommend it. Easy access to airport via tram service walking distance. Room was clean, restaurants near by.
2 things that could be improved:
The bathtub is very high and for a short person to climb in to have a shower is not easy and almost dangerous.
The other is I had a credit card with a 5 number PIN and it did not work on their terminal, it only accepts 4 numbers PIN. My bank here informed me that the terminal must be programmed or set to accept the 5 number PIN. Luckily, I had another card.
To resume, I would go back.

Needs more attention to grounds--Rooms were fine
The room itself was clean and fine.. Since it was a hot stretch, it was essential that they provided a fan. The lack of air conditioning is, I guess to be expected, but the thermostat in the room did appear broken. My major concern was with the lack of upkeep of the parking lots and grounds of the hotel. Twice there were broken bottles by the building, and the tables frequently needed more cleaning at the restaurant. The outside tables sat with glasses on them for hours at a time. An ice machine would be a nice touch somewhere in the hotel too. But the bed was comfortable and the room was clean

The room was good, spacious and with comfortable beds. The breakfast ok. Service nothing special. The outside area is a disgrace with broken glass and lots of old rubbish.

We had a horrible stay. I believe one of the worst stays ever. We complained about the toilet not working properly and they said they would send someone to fix it. Then the room we had was Close to the front desk and we couldn’t hear a bang every time a door closed. Then the toilet totally backed up and ran water over the entire floor. They finally moved us to another room for are last night. A little too late. Not impressed
Our bike got stolen there overnight, very bad experience.

Très bon rapport qualité prix, très calme, confortable et super propre.
Établissant un peu loin du centre agité, quartier Newhaven harbour, en bord de mer donc.
3 bus réguliers desservent ce spot, dont un direct de l’aéroport.

- A l'arrivée, lorsqu'on voyage en famille, il faut batailler avec le personnel pour avoir 2 chambres au même étage. Anormale surtout la réponse selon laquelle l'hôtel est plein, sachant que les réservations ont été effectuées 3 mois auparavant.
- Chaises du restaurant où on prend le petit-déjeuner sont dégradées, sales et peu confortables.
- Il n'y a pas de shampoing dans les produits de salle de bains.
- Il manque une balayette pour les toilettes dans la salle de bains
- Dans les chambres, il manque des sachets de thé et des serviettes pour le nombre exact de jours que dure le séjour.
- Rendre le parking payant pour une nuit à + 210 £ est un peu choquant !!!

Excellent séjour dans un hôtel de très bonnes prestations au bord d'un petit port. Le cri des mouettes rajoute au charme des lieux. Excellent petit déjeuner complet en buffet. Très bon accueil et personnel sympathique.
