Fantastic value for Money. Polite staff, clean and warm rooms. Great Breakfast.
The hotel, previously known as Park Central was undergoing a transition from one hotel to another. There are clearly some areas that need work & a good lick of paint. The room was nice but not the cleanest & the bathroom was functional, with a wonky seat. The bed not the best and quite squeaky but nice and clean. Breakfast the next morning was fine & the omelette we had was hot. Overall the stay for an overnighter was acceptable but i would've want to stay for longer. Maybe once the transition is complete it might be worth another visit.

Good sized room, very comfy bed although banged my legs multiple times whilst trying to manoeuvre around the bed without hitting my head on the low ceiling!
Bathroom could have done with a better clean. Breakfast staff were very polite and friendly but breakfasts all came at different times , and were missing items. Staff very polite and sorted it out.
All crockery was mismatched. Some of the furniture around the hotel was very worn .
Overall, great location , extremely polite & helpful staff, but the hotel is very tired and needs some TLC.

The hotel is old but spotless. Ideally located near the beach, promenade and aquarium. The hotel is not well signposted as it used to have another name but it’s located next to Heritage hotel. My room was huge, comfortable and very clean. I loved the view. I had booked a standard room on Expedia, but for an extra fee paid on arrival, I could upgrade to sea view. It’s well worth it! The bathroom was incredibly clean and there was a bath robe, plenty towels and even an iron and ironing board. There is a mini fridge and a Nespresso machine and a small bottle of water.
If I had one criticism about the room, it would be to have slippers available.
The breakfast was free and fantastic full English. I have already rebooked for May. Highly recommend.
