Poor experience
Very disappointing. No parking available, room on 3rd floor but no assistance with cases, toilet seat broken, toilet flush handle broken. Staff were pleasant but seemed inexperienced with no apparent senior supervision. Very expensive for what was offered. Would not visit again.

Disgusting Place AVOID at all costs
appalled from start to finish the female staff were rude and unhelpful the place was filthy and no food served as suggested. breaskfast was supposed to be served at 8am yet at 8.45 still all locked up and staff in no hurry to prepare breakfast for guests. when it was eventually put out there was just 1 plate of burnt croissants, watery yogurt in a dirty bowl with a side bowl of sloppy substance they suggested was fruit.

No uniqueness at all. Very shabby hotel. Cleanliness very very poor. Noise all night, church bells, taxi rank, night club revellers, binned at 5am. Checked out after 1 night and we’d paid for 3. Sheets had to be changed as they were soiled. Owner was non helpful. Never ever would I stay there again. Still trying to get my money back.

Nice place
The place itself is great and kept to a very good standard but it’s noisy outside. Bells mark every hour and they’re loud which doesn’t make for a good nights sleep.

2 night stay.
Good location, a little bit of noise from the street into the early hours, but then it was a bank holiday weekend, so be expected. Room very good ...a few little issues but not anything to raise concerns about. Just general attention to detail (loose toilet seat). Room very warm but a fan was provided and so wasn't too much of a problem. All in all a very pleasent stay and would use again.

Great little find - great location.
Great little find. Visited on the bank holiday 29/08. Upon booking and arrival was information about live music / disco, we was fine with that. However we were not disturbed due to music or other surrounding venues considering the bank holiday (travelling With a 6yo & 3yo). We Stayed in Chesi family room, very spacious and clean with plenty of room. Hotel staff very informative and a complimentary continental breakfast was a nice touch the following morning. Ideal location for all nearby attractions as all a stone throw away. Also arrived early and bags were stored in the office so we could go and enjoy the beach prior to check in. Would visit again no doubt.
