“I found the hotel's position quite remarkable, especially its proximity to transport links and the seafront, lending a tangible sense of place. The staff consistently struck me as genuinely attentive and friendly, managing even busy periods with grace. While the building's historic character is clearly a point of pride and effort, some areas, particularly within the rooms, show signs of needing a refresh to match the same care evident elsewhere.”
