Great location, right above the beach. Good breakfast, lovely staff. The lift was broken and we were on the fourth floor, but as the hotel is undergoing extensive repairs, this was understandable. I'd definitely stay here again.

It’s a nice dated hotel which reflects its authenticity. If you are looking for a modern hotel this isn’t for you. The location of this hotel, with it being sea front and near the train station, very ideal. The receptionists very helpful.

This is a hard one to review. When we arrived, I nearly didn't want to go in due to the state of the building, but we decided to go in to see what the room was like. The staff were really helpfull. The reception is very dated.
Our room was fantastic. It was clean, we had an amazing sea view. The bed was comfy.
The windows were in very bad condition and do need replacing, plus the room does need a fresh coat of paint.
From my understanding, the hotel is in the process of being refurnished, and as it is a listed building, will take time. But for the price and location, I would recommend.
Another minor thing, if you are a vegetarian, the breakfast was poor as it was the normal breakfast with the meat taken off, so basically one egg and a small scoop of beans. Luckily, you could help yourself to toast!
