    The location is very good on the promenade, unfortunately the horse-drawn tram will not run in 2019 due to reconstruction. The breakfast is rich. WLAN also good. Overall good price-performance ratio.

    Somewhat outdated and very narrow corridors. According to its own description, it is three stars. The shower is also a bit old and only as a fixed shower jet.

    sea view room
    delicious manx kippers
    plentiful breakfast choices
    dim lighting
    poor visibility

    The sea view room provided gorgeous views and the sound of the surf was good. Breakfast choices were plentiful and included the delicious manx kippers, which my friend adored .

    the lighting in the room was too dim.

    cramped room

    The stay was wonderful! Every morning featured a superb breakfast, especially the full English and the hotel had a relaxing bar area with live piano music. however, the room felt a bit cramped for the price.

    You can hear everything in a room. But I don't mind personally, I sleep everywhere and all the time.
