    The shower pressure in our room (4th floor) was utterly hopeless. And for a small person having only one fixed shower head position is very bad. The coffee is Nescafé which I refuse to use - it should be an ethical brand. The hotel needs to be moving to refillable shower gel and shampoo instead of small single use plastic.

    We’ve stayed here before and is our preferred choice. It is right on the sea front and there’s a protected cycle route to it. You don’t mention cycling in your travel section. The room was light and airy w v good heating. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. It’s nice to be able to order drinks at any time!

    The room had its own TV and coffee are. The communal areas are very grand, and the wooden Burton staircase an architecural feature.

    The toilet roll holder was attached to the bath panel and it kept falling off. Can't be bad if this is the only complaint...

    Really lovely rooms, spacious and quirky with the age of the building. Breakfast was very nice, cooked to order the first day as few guests and buffet style after that. Bar and lounge has a great view of the sea.

    I love high ceilings in some of the rooms. To be given the choice of a high ceiling room makes a difference.

    Sash windows, old building meant good ventilation. Extremely comfortable beds. Clean and spacious.

    The bathroom was a little tired, the shower wall bracket was not compatible with the handset which would just fall off which had obviously happened a few times, so when water turned on the shower head fell to bits so we both could not have a shower.

    Lovely sized room. Fantastic view of the sea etc. friendly helpful staff.

    Breakfast poor. Weak Kona coffee from a byegone era, undercooked bacon compressed into a slab, and a toaster that didn't toast.

    Large, sunny and clean room.

    Disrepair in general, rooms full of damp. Cold room on arrival. Huge room with only a standard double. A formerly grand hotel just needs income to restore it's charms.

    The room size was exceptional with a stunning view from the window.
