Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying in the Audrey Hepburn room was a delightful experience for my wife, a big fan, and me. The room was attractively and tastefully decorated, very clean, and equipped with all amenities. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to ensure our comfort. The hotel's location was perfect, close to the town, seaside, and all necessary amenities. The dining experience was welcoming and lovely, although a tad overpriced. Overall, a charming stay with excellent value for money.
Our stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were spacious and cozy; we chose the Audrey Hepburn-themed room, which my wife loved. They were spotless and well-equipped with plenty of tea, coffee, and biscuits. However, the room felt a bit like a shoebox, especially the bathroom.
Although the deluxe queen room was spotless and very comfortable with delightful bright colors and scattered posters, it felt a bit small and crowded, especially the bathroom. The wonderful breakfast provided by the lovely people who recently took over the hotel was a pleasant surprise, offering a clean and friendly environment to chat about classic Hollywood with Paul. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to the beach, pier, town center, and other key attractions. The dining experience was exceptional, serving plentiful and well-cooked meals, including the best scrambled eggs on toast. Overall, a great stay with a few minor room size issues.
