Spent 4 nights at this hotel, conference facilities used for training. Room on second floor no air conditioning only a ceiling fan but fortunately weather did not necessitate either. Room was comfortable with outstanding sea and coastal views. Carpets somewhat tired and shower curtain useless, water everywhere, so suggest the bath be used rather. A well illuminated room unlike most... More

the carpets in the room were a bit dirty but overall the hotel was very clean and well kept. the maid service was late in returning our towels though, especially since we hadn't even left them on the floor. nice bar and sea views, the area is a bit too quiet.

I spent three nights here attending a business conference. Checking in was quick and the staff friendly and professional. My ocean-facing room on the 4th floor was fairly small, and, unlike most, did not have a balcony. That didn't really bother me though. However, the air-conditioner didn't work properly, which was really a concern in the humid heat of East... More

Having spent a great part of the year at this hotel, I have come to appreciate the charming and welcome attitude of the front office especially the ladies. I have made it a second home due to the care and concern

As a Virtual Tour Photographer we almost live in Hotels and feel that this Hotel is a real Gem within East London. Perfectly Situated close to the Beach, absolutely great Views and really friendly and helpful staff. The staff Member that stuck out for me and was always willing to help was Daniel.

The hotel is perfectly located for conference attendees and had a fantastic view. Service and cleanliness needs urgent attention. Carpets and upholstry looks like it was very dirty, got wet and was left to dry, now it's stained and it looks horrible. Rooms are spacious but is old. Noise from shouting staff woke me up every morning around 5am. Rude... More

Well I would love to disagree with all the other travelers about this hotel but I really can't. I had the same problem with vouchers where they just refused to check me in until they got the vouchers. The reception staff were rude and unfriendly. The hotel rooms are very old and they, as well as the hotel itself, desperately... More

The visit started off badly - they did not have my voucher number from the travel agent, then they wanted me to pay by credit card to secure the room as the travel agency had not paid. The staff were unwelcoming, rude and paid very little attention to the guests queueing up. Then the workshop we had booked was nearly... More
