Disliked: Room comfort
The renovated reception and bar area was lovely. We had huge issues with the room as it was an older room (331) the main issues was it was absolutely boiling. There was no way to change the heat at all which lead to barely any sleep (combined with uncomfy bed) room is tired and the shower didn’t work properly (not hot). Breakfast was ok but there was little of the hot food left when we went for the booked time at 9.15. Staff were lovely although we didn’t have much contact. I think when the renovation is done it could be lovely but at the moment it isn’t worth the money.

Was offered an ‘upgrade’ to a room with sea view for extra money - but the sea view turned out to be a view of scaffolding outside the hotel - cheeky - no refund offered! Room was spacious but noisy with almost no sound insulation from adjacent rooms and from above and below ! Very difficult to sleep! Would not recommend!

My room was not the best... Dirty carpets, screws sticking out of the bath. Condensation on windows and the whole room shook when someone walked down the corridor.
