Very good value for the money charge, ideal for the beach and very near the town centre. Staff vert friendly and helpful, I really enjoyed my stay there, thank you.
Very enjoyable holiday with the Riviera. Staff Very friendly. Room comfortable. Price reasonable. Would definitely recommend it.
Such a shame the rooms are so dated. The staff are brilliant. The room was spotless. The breakfast tasty and the location very central. The electrics in our room where run of a main socket from an extension lead so not the safestist. Would definitely return if some money was spent on the rooms.
Good value, good location, no issues really. No A/C in the rooms but wasn't too bad on those hot days. Reasonably clean all around.
As part of a largish crowd attending a big show at the Hippodrome theatre this past weekend (we stay every year). The hotel is right opposite the beach and promenade, The rooms are comfortable and adequate, the staff are absolutely super, the breakfast selection is great , we had a “piano bar cabaret” function in the huge lounge area on Friday evening for some sixty people including a fish and chip supper..excellent ! Can’t wait for next year..thank you to all the staff.
It's probably the most helpful place I've been to. They accommodated my wife, who had just had an operation. Staff were very happy. Rooms were clean and spacious. Plus, we had breakfast and it was hot and nice
