I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, with beautiful sea views and it's just a short walk to the beach and local amenities. The rooms are modern and clean, but the lack of a toilet door and the slow water heating were a bit inconvenient. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making the service a highlight of my stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms offered fantastic views and were spacious with high ceilings, I found them to be quite basic and could use some updates. The service was lovely and made my stay enjoyable, but the location wasn’t ideal. It had its perks being close to the beach, but the area felt a bit rundown. Overall, it was decent for a night, just not luxurious.

The hotel is in a decent location, which was perfect for the Hastings half marathon I participated in, and it's quite close to the beach. The rooms had everything I needed for a night’s stay, but the peeling wallpaper and lack of a bathroom door were drawbacks. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially at breakfast. However, the noise from the karaoke party downstairs until 5 am made it hard to get a good night’s sleep.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and shops, making it super convenient. The rooms were generally comfortable, but climbing up those two big flights of spiral stairs was a bit of a workout! The service was friendly, and they even cooked my breakfast at an earlier time for me, which was great. On the downside, the dining experience could use some improvement, and the bathroom definitely needs some attention.
