Nice hotel - some areas for improvement.

Girl208, Sussex

Dec 19 2024

This is a nice hotel with good service. The location is great, as you can walk to the harbour within 15 minutes. Good points – very good service, lovely waiting staff. Great Location. Lovely views. Lobby area is nice, as is the hotel bar, and the balcony area outside the lobby which looks out on the sea. Beach bar also nice. All the drinks staff were very lovely, smiley, and friendly. Customer service on request of extra help was fast, efficient and courteous. Food at breakfast and evening was decent, not exceptional but very nice and plenty of choice. Room for improvement – rooms are nice but looking rather dated. Cleaning could have been better. Day 1 – cleaner didn’t attend, Day 2, cleaner seemed to say as I was in the room they couldn’t clean (despite me asking them to stay and clean), Day 3 – cleaning happened but floor wasn’t cleaned much at all. The duvets and pillows smelled musty and could do with a deep clean. The pool level does not lead you to the beach, the sunbeds near the sea are raised overlooking the beach level, which is much lower down a ramp. Accessibility, may be quite tricky for anyone with issues walking, definitely to the beach but also generally in the pool area. Got an expensive massage – lady was very lovely but didn’t know what she was doing, would give the massage 3/10. Disappointing – System of allocating sunbeds needs to be scrapped, especially in December. All sunbeds are tightly packed together (as if for caged battery hens). One cannot sit where one chooses, once must report to the desk and be allocated a single spot FOR THE WHOLE WEEK. If you get a bad spot because everything is busy, you must report back daily until you can get a better spot. Often your allocated bed was being used by people who didn’t know the system. (We didn’t want to disturb people relaxing, but couldn’t jump into another spot either without checking). If you get smokers either side, you’re stuck – even though 50% of the beds weren’t being used in December. We hated this system on previous visits in the summer and hated it just as much in the winter. It will put me off visiting again and seemed to be the consensus of most guests. All in all – decent pleasant stay – 7.5/10.

Truly excellent

sfuhere, uk

There is so much to like about this hotel. The location is ideal, close to the tourist centre on the main promenade. The difference however strikes you as soon as you enter. This is a very well run hotel indeed - you can tell. The lobby is really pleasant and you are welcomed with a drink. The staff are all very polite and courteous. They seemed to take genuine pride in their job. This hotel engenders that in their staff. It makes a big difference. This hotel is old school. I don’t mean it’s old fashioned, which would imply it needs bringing up to date. It doesn’t - everything is in good condition and well maintained. It hearkens back to more refined ways of doing things. In particular, the restaurant (Roxane) is really exceptionally nice for a “free food” experience, with music playing (sometimes a live pianist) and it’s well carpeted, properly laid with tablecloths and fabric napkins, not paper ones. It’s just all very well done. And the food is really good. You will eat well here, both at breakfast and dinner. Both quality and quantity is good. We liked our room, especially the soft but supportive mattresses and excellent pillows. There’s a minibar too and free bathrobes. One minor quibble was that there was no light on the balcony. Also they have followed the strange trend of having a window between the bedroom and bathroom, so you can keep an eye on your other half while they’re on the toilet! (There is a blind, mercifully.) I did say it was old school and that attracts a certain demographic. However we did not feel out of place and we have a few years to go before collecting our pensions! However if you are a certain age, or above that age, you will certainly feel at home here. There’s even a Saga lounge! It’s worth mentioning the indoor pool. As we travelled in winter, the outdoor pool was okay for sunbathing on warmer days but not for swimming. The indoor pool is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen in a hotel and was warm even on the coldest day of our stay. I want to mention Xenia - a great asset to the hotel with her warm welcomes. But all the staff are great here, they really are. The Garibaldi Italian restaurant gives you a genuine fine dining experience and is perfectly judged. It’s seven courses, but not overwhelming. Good reliable WiFi. Excellent standards of cleanliness and regular room servicing. You even get a turndown service with chocolates! All in all, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. I felt very happy to have made the choice to stay here. Please don’t hesitate to book this hotel.
