Got upgrading to a sea view (single) and the view was fantastic. Very central. Quite noisy one night( creaky floors, people talking) but good value and i would stay again.

Location and Staff very good
The rooms are a little shabby, although they are refurbishing- hence no lift at present. The staff were very helpful, rooms clean and had everything we needed. Good location at the top of the steps by the whalebones, parking is a headache as on street parking is expensive from March to end October, hotel car park was full.

Comfortable stay & excellent value for money
Although hotel is obviously having parts refurbished there was no detrimental impact on guests. Staff were extremely helpful & friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Food in the restaurant was excellent. We felt valued as guests & thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Excellent traditional recently modernised hotel
Such a lovely old fashioned but friendly large hotel. Brilliant views of the sea and Abbey. We chose a sea view room and it is worth it. We paid for parking in their secure car park for peace of mind. Excellent breakfast served until 10am. Nice bar and restaurant for the evenings. Lovely friendly staff. Lovely warm room with original features but recently modernised. Dog friendly hotel and areas (we don’t have one). Will be returning and recommend.

Good views over the harbour but worst coffee
Nice hotel, shame about the ongoing renovations, bar was a building site and the coffee is possibly the worst I’ve ever had. Staff were nice tho and renovated room was fine for the price.
