Review of the Hitel

This was a very nice hotel and and we had a Sea View however due to the flying birds around the area, the windows were dirty with bird poo. The hotel should ensure cleanliness of the windows too.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Staff after amazing. For the price of the room, it was not worth it. The room had stains in the carpet, although cleaned well such as the bathroom and no dust, the room felt grubby and dirty. Needs a good lick of paint and clean flooring

Compact Room.

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.
Andrew, 3-night trip

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

Sarah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Lydia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hot hot hot

The hotel had no A/C and our room was on the top floor, the window could only open and inch so ne ventilation. It became so unbearable we had to leave the hotel at 3am and get a taxi home. All the rooms were full so no alternative apart from a fan could be offered
Miss C, 1-night trip

We have visited this hotel several times, reception staff very welcoming, room however was very disappointing, cracked sink in the bathroom, shower curtain very cheap, room was small, needs updating.

A little tired perhaps, but still lovely!

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.

Neil, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

No usb sockets for phone and the kettle did not work. Also was a couple so why only one hot chocolate?? But couldn’t use it anyway as the kettle did not work. One of the female bar staff was very abrupt and forgot to make a pot of tea I ordered. I had to return to the bar twice to remind the staff I had ordered it by which time all my friends had finished their drinks.
