Redecorations are great. Kept the timely feels but gave it a nice modern touch. Our room was surprisingly big, with some lovely sea views! Bathroom slightly smaller but absolutely okay for the price. Generally this is a very serene and nice hotel given the region. Not much going on in the immediate surroundings but that can be a positive thing. Only down side would be the sound insulation, but quite honestly in a building of this age that is to be expected.

Convenient for the cliff lift. On the downside the room was smaller than expected and the bathroom was very small. Difficult to get in and out of the bath/shower. Grab handles on the wall over the bath would have been helpful. We did not find the mealtimes very accommodating but probably due to the hotel looking after it's staff and only seating half the capacity.
