Furniture and furnishings were in very good condition. The bathroom was clean and more functional - showers was very narrow to stand in. Overalla very pleasant place to stay for a few days. ##### Mitchell Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 26 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very helpful staff and very helpful with breakfast options , eg gluten free, vegetarian, etc. Indian next door, Thai round the corner and pub dinning on corner, Italian across the road, french in the Marriott past the Thai, all very handy, plus town centre down hill, not far.

Close too beach and local shops 7 minutes walk. Hotel was pleasantly peaceful. Didnt see too much staff presence. Breakfast held in two slots. Great stay for short break. ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth 16 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly. My room was small, but not a problem as I only stayed for 2 nights, so didn't have much luggage. The room & common areas were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was top quality! Very short walk to the beach. ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim 12 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable boutique hotel.

Room was ‘cosy’ smallish but I was travelling alone so not an issue. Price was reasonable and took that into account so not a complaint just an observation. Parking not as difficult as I expected (midweek). Very warm welcome and I felt everything had been thought of in advance. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### EXCELLENT SHORT STAY Very comfortable bed & room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had ground floor room and were very happy that we didn’t have stairs to climb. Breakfast was excellent, very well cooked and served hot. Only criticism I could make if I had to make one is, no bar and no possibility of snack or sandwich during the day or evening which would have made it 5\* in my view. Manuela on reception was brilliant. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kym 1 Jul 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Surround area needs attention - clear up and cleaning. Internally the theme and colour schemes are great but the rooms are tired and need some TLC. The breakfast and breakfast room are excellent, however there has been a reduction in the amount of chocolates provided in the room and at reception compared to our previous visit. ##### Kym Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Felix 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities keine ##### Felix Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The photos on the web site are deceiving it might look good but in reality the decor is very poor. It needs a freshen up the whole place looks really tired. No staff on site only the maintenance man who was very helpful. Would not recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Darren 26 Jun 2024 ##### Darren Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aarti 5 Apr 2024 ##### Aarti Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 15 Dec 2023 ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn 7 Dec 2023 ##### Lynn Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian 4 Nov 2023 ##### Gillian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Duncan 27 Oct 2023 ##### Duncan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nelson 16 Oct 2023 ##### Nelson Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton London Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Metropole.h26134.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Edwardian-Manchester.h1044199.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Birmingham Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hilton-Birmingham-Metropole.h436233.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Birmingham.h15832.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge London Covent Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Travelodge-London-Covent-Garden.h23389.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Durley Dean Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Durley-Dean-Hotel.h1170728.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Titanic Hotel Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Titanic-Hotel-Liverpool.h7763320.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [London Hilton on Park Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Hilton-On-Park-Lane.h26769.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The Municipal Hotel Liverpool - MGallery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-The-Municipal-Hotel-Liverpool-Mgallery.h91370465.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Great-Cumberland-Place.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London -Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-London-Tower-Of-London.h3977996.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information)
