Really good stay in a lovely hotel. Parking is difficult as the paid spaces are first come first served and not just for this hotel so is always busy . Would definately stay again though

Lovely hotel, very smart with friendly greeting on arrival. Lovely and quiet, large room with great sea view, with air conditioning. Added bonus of Marco Pierre White Restaurant in the hotel, serving excellent food and comfy chairs in the bar. Lovely quality breakfast the next morning with garden views. Stress free night away with paid street parking nearby.

Super location. Really friendly and helpful staff. Amazing breakfast choices and beautiful restaurant for breakfast. Only negative thing about the hotel was the lift...it was absolutely tiny and quite grubby - not at all in keeping with the reception, bar and restaurant areas.

Excellent location, walkable from the train station. Some trouble checking in & room wasn't as described but was sorted out the next day. Most staff were on the ball and very congenial. Food was excellent, afternoon tea was delicious, highly recommend the tea salon in the main restaurant. Lovely area, very historic and close to shopping and dining for a nice walk.

8/10

Very convenient for town, beautiful walks along The Leas. Hotel very clean and staff helpful. Room on top floor, corridor very narrow for large luggage and floor in bedroom uneven with a slope so if your elderly or unsure with your footing could cause a fall, but ok once you remember it’s there. But really enjoyed my stay
