Loved my room, but is a bit of a rabbit warren, so hard to find rooms. Biggest complaint is that there is no room service. As a woman by herself, wanted to have some dinner in the privacy of her own room.

The staff were not helpful and the breakfast menu was limited. The bed was very uncomfortable, it didn't help when the people in the next room kept me awake at 04.30 arguing and shouting. Checked out sooner than expected and the staff on duty were very rude. I will not be staying there again

I booked this hotel for me (29year old mum) and my son for a 2 night stay for the weekend before his 9th birthday, due to the ratings being good for children and families and the indoor pool I chose this hotel. My overall feedback would be to say, very noisey hotel from very early paper thin walls I could hear different families conversations even with the tv on from different rooms throughout my stay, the shower was so claustrophobic it was uncomfortable to move in and even breath in. The seating area for dining and drinking is right in the reception as you walk in so everyone can hear your conversations with the staff just stare right at you and when coming back inside from cigarette or fresh air every single guest (atleast 10 families) are facing you while their eating/drinking as you walk in so I was stared at everytime I walked through here, No smiles or greetings from the staff at the desk not any single time of me passing them. The atmosphere was drunken older adults or weird vibes rather than a child friendly hotel. The rooms are absolutely freezing cold with no heater inside apart from a luke warm radiator. Warm water from the sink cold tap. Quite disappointed with this booking as we really looked forward to it being a relaxed few days, felt really uncomfortable here.

We arrived at the property on 27th December 2024 to check in at 3pm. We were told we had been allocated a room on the 4th floor. (When booked I asked for low floor, as I am disabled and struggle with stairs). After some time we were moved to the second floor. The lifts were temperamental, which made getting to the second floor uncomfortable for me using the stairs. We found the dining room seating poor as we were allocated what I can only describe as a POSTAGE STAMP TABLE, really only fit for 1 diner. Meal portions were small, and we found it astonishing that our side dishes were miniscule for 2 adults. If we had both been single diners we would have got a portion each. The bedroom central heating failed on our first nights stay. We asked for a mobile heater but were told non were available, however speaking to other guests they had been given heaters when requested. The evening entertainment for both nights stay was mediocre to say the least. Overall not a great experience.

Pleasant stay
A good one night stay in a warm sea view room. All staff were pleasant and the restaurant and bar staff were very efficient and attentive serving a three course meal which included a Sunday Roast. I had to leave before breakfast. Tram stop is right outside.

Great hotel!
We didnt realise how far the hotel was from the tower when we booked but the hotel was really nice staff were great and ready to help anytime theres a outdoor pool and indoor heated pool a small games room and spa we didn't use any of those but asked a guest who said it was really good theres also a tram stop eight outaide the hotel so we just kept using that hop on hop off with a day ticket the only thing is the rooms almost look brand new but the halls are so dated and the floors squeek like hell so we were conscious about disturbing our neighboring guests but overall i would stay here again
