My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had all the essentials I needed and provided excellent value for money, but there were some cleanliness and maintenance issues that affected the overall comfort. The service was friendly and accommodating, though it seemed like they were still getting the hang of things. The location was convenient for exploring the town and beach, but there were instances of customer service lapses. Dining was a bit inconsistent, but the facilities were generally satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, near the shops and beach, but the rooms were disappointing with loud traffic noise and cleanliness issues. The service was friendly but could be more efficient. The dining experience was average. The facilities were decent.

Despite the balcony, the Attic Room was noisy from traffic, dirty, and had a worn-out bed, making it uncomfortable. The broken thermostatic valve forced me to keep the window open in December.

The hotel had a tiny bed that was not suitable for my large frame, and the overall state was terrible with damp walls, moldy bathroom furnishings, and a musty odor giving a sense of claustrophobia. The environment was extremely dirty, making it a very poor value for money.

The only positive point was the good location for accessing the Latin fest and being within walking distance to town. However, it may suit football fans for a night before a match in Torquay.

6.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was beautifully decorated with a cozy four-poster bed and balcony, but the lack of proper ventilation made it uncomfortably hot to sleep. The staff at the reception were incredibly helpful, but the room had issues with damp and mold. On the bright side, the location was great and the staff were friendly, although the breakfast wasn't up to par, leading us to opt for a meal at a nearby spot instead.
