I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and furnished with an exceptional bathroom, although the small double bed was a bit rickety. The service was impeccable, with the staff being conscientious about allergens and incredibly helpful. The location was charming, overlooking the Pantiles, although a bit slanted at the top end. The dining experience was delightful, with tasty options and amazing service. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor room issues.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the charming Pantiles area with friendly staff, but the room had its quirks, including a noisy water pipe and a view of a busy road. The hotel felt cozy but a bit cramped.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The room facing the noisy street stayed cool and provided a comfortable night's sleep, it was very clean and comfortable, and the quaint decor with old-style pieces added charm. The service was excellent, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. The hotel's location, while tasteful, had slight wallpaper peeling, was fantastic albeit liable to flooding, and the room change was handled well. Dining options were satisfactory and offered good breakfast choices. Overall, it was a lovely experience with some minor areas for improvement.
