“Super room loved the decor”
Hotel location is right on the promenade which was great, with parking on the road outside which wasn’t a problem. Super room, loved the decor, comfy bed. Massive bar restaurant with very attentive staff, and food was good.

“Extremely disappointing stay and even more disappointing response from management.”
We paid upwards of €200 per room per night for two rooms and expected a reasonable standard of comfort and service. Unfortunately, the experience fell well below expectations. The rooms had no bedside tables, the power sockets were positioned behind furniture and difficult to access, and the kettle could only be used on the floor because the cable was so short and there was no suitable surface nearby. This was particularly inconvenient for my 82-year-old father, who was travelling with me. There was a noisy fridge positioned directly beside to the bed, no water or glasses provided in the room, and no breakfast service available. The shower controls were confusing and poorly explained. To make matters worse, I was woken at around 7 a.m. by what sounded like a generator or other loud mechanical noise. Had the hotel acknowledged these shortcomings and responded constructively, I might have viewed the experience differently. Instead, when I raised my concerns, management dismissed them as "trivial" and refused any form of compensation (citing the fact I raised concerns at check-out, although there was no-one at reception until that point --- another flag). I found this attitude as disappointing as the issues themselves. For the price charged, I expected far better facilities, greater attention to guest comfort, and a more professional response to legitimate feedback. I would not choose to stay here again.

“Fab views, beautiful comfortable room with a bathtub overlooking the promenade”
Very impressed with the room and the view. Lovely large double room and it was spotlessly clean. The staff were lovely too. Lovely break. We used the salt water sauna across the road too, it is complimentary when staying in the hotel.

Great location on the seafront. The hotel has a funky look. Our room was spacious and interesting to look at. Very comfy bed and the earplugs provided were appreciated.
