I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a comfortable bed and efficient blackout blinds. However, being close to the noisy lift was a bit of a downside. The service was top-notch, especially during these times, providing a large and very comfortable bed. The location was beautiful, perfect for a lovely walk to the harbor for dinner and close to various attractions. The dining experience was excellent value for money, with a variety of options to choose from. Overall, a great choice for a stay.

The hotel is located near the beach with a great view and friendly staff. The rooms, although a bit small, were suitable for a short stay, especially with a nice spacious shower room. The service was welcoming, but there was a tendency to keep doors and windows open. The location was excellent for exploring the harbor and the town center. Dining had its highs and lows, with some fantastic options but disappointments as well. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor room for improvement.

Upon arrival off a US red-eye flight, we received a very friendly welcome at the hotel. The rooms were warm but lacked the option to open windows, and it was disappointing that our dog couldn't join us in the bar area for meals, making us venture out to eat in town. The hotel almost gave me a jail-like room ambiance.

The hotel is perfectly situated on the cliff top with stunning views across to France, nestled just above the zig-zag to the beach and promenade. The rooms were spacious and tidy, featuring comfy beds away from the lift, making it convenient for luggage. The service was warm and accommodating, with the staff offering extra water and fresh milk upon arrival. The dining experience, while not perfect, was still value for money, featuring fresh fruits for breakfast. The location is in a lovely, quiet area on the Leas immediate to the seafront, ideal for exploring the town and enjoying leisurely walks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel - the rooms were small but nice, with comfy beds and well-equipped bathrooms, but they lacked a bit of welcoming atmosphere. The service, however, was top-notch; the staff were extremely friendly and genuinely helpful. The location was quite convenient, close to lovely restaurants and offering beautiful walks by the sea. The dining experience was good, though at times disorganized and with waiting times for certain items. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some minor drawbacks.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, and the bar and public spaces were really nice. However, I was woken up early by noisy children in the room above. The room was a bit hot and stuffy, and the standalone cooling unit had a moldy smell and didn't cool effectively. On the bright side, the room had robes, slippers, tea/coffee making facilities, and complimentary mineral water.

The hotel offers excellent value for money with rooms overlooking the sea, even though they were a bit on the small side and the bathroom slightly cramped. Very clean and nicely furnished. The service was exceptional but needed better supply management. The location is a prime spot near the sea, despite the challenge of water splashing in the bathroom. Dining was generally good but could use more attention to avoid running out. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel has a superb location overlooking the sea, making it great for a stroll along the beach. The rooms, while comfortable with an excellent bathroom, were a bit small for easy movement around the generously sized bed. The service was friendly, but there were a few hiccups with the AC.
