Its location is convenient, placing you within a short walk of the beach, gardens, and the Pavilion theatre, with easy access to East Cliff Beach via The Zig Zag.

Really good stay, highly recommended!

quiet street vegan cookies restful nights good juice
The hotel's location suited me. It was on a quiet street within walking distance to the town center. I appreciated the proximity to the beach. The provided vegan cookies in my room were a nice touch. The bed ensured restful nights . The restaurant's atmosphere created a cute experience. Staff members were very helpful and accommodating, and they enhanced the overall quality of my stay. Breakfast offered much choice. The fresh juice had a good quality, as well.
The gardens could use minor improvements, such as tidying and upgrading the seating.

I felt a little let down by the breakfast. the buffet had only basic options. vegan choices were very limited. If you dislike bread or eggs, you're left with few alternatives. also, i had expected better service for the price i paid. attention to detail seemed lacking overall.
