This hotel was unbelievable with so much praise dont know where to start. On arrival we were made very welcome. Little touching like mineral water and bowl apples on reception desk comfy sofas in the entrance. Help was offered with luggage. Every bit of this hotel was spotlessly cleaned and shiny. The cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. The... More

This is a good quality hotel. However I've had much better breakfasts in cheaper hotels. The food wasn't that hot but nice enough. I'm sure there are better value hotels about but we enjoyed our stay. Room was decent and the location of the hotel was pleasant.

The Hermitage for us is like visiting an old friend. We feel comfortable and at home as soon as we set foot in the door. The staff are attentive - Charles the head waiter, Robert the assistant manager and Maria and her reception colleagues all make time to make their guests feel relaxed.

The service is excellent but unobtrusive, then add wonderful food cooked to perfection, topped off with the fine decor. I had the Braised lamb shank with buttery mashed potato and vegetables, simply unbeatable. My wife and I both chose the Crepe... More

Another fabulous stay for our party of six. We stayed from the 27th to 31st May. From arrival at reception to being shown to our room,to eating in the restaurant and drinks in the bar, everything about The Hermitage was faultless. This was our second stay at the Hotel and will not be our last. Our room was spacious, spotless,... More

I stayed for two nights in May due to attending a conference at the BIC. This hotel is ideally located for attending an event there. The room was clean and nicely furnished and with a stunning view of the pier. The food was superb and plenty of it too. It was very peaceful and relaxed and all the hotel staff... More
