The Ocean View's strongest features is its location, high above the beach but close to the lift. The downside is that it primarily caters to tour groups, leaving the solo traveler a bit confused at times.

Hotel was in a good location.
I booked six single rooms for a cycling weekend, all the rooms were comfy, the hotel bar was friendly, and the cooked breakfast for next day was excellent.
I’d recommend the hotel.

Lovely spot with sea view, rooms need updating, very tired. Bar not open when we were there and no entertainment offered. Nice swimming pool but such a long trek to it with lots of stairs not suitable for everyone. Otherwise as advertised.

It was a great stay, really enoyed the Hotel's freindly and professional staff.
My stay was made super special by the warm welcome and greeting by FOH, receptionist Sara M.
She was the icing on the cake for me.
Thanks

The property was clean, but for the cost of as not great value for money. Room was hot - no air conditioning. Breakfast selection of hot food good, but no fresh fruit, pastries, etc. limited and a place to sleep…

This hotel was exactly what we wanted - QUIET!!! The windows were open at night and all we heard were the waves and the birds. I never sleep through the night, but the time we were here - I slept straight through every night!! Amazing! Staff were brilliant and helpful and your restaurant staff treated us like family. Highly recommend your hotel.

Very friendly staff and great location. Best rooms balcony seaview. The hotel has a good facilities but it is dated. A bit more maitenance and tidying up would make it an excellent hotel. We didn't have the evening meal but the breakfast, full English was good apart from the sausages and scrambled eggs! We would return.

Breakfast was at best chaotic and poor quality. Room was basic with large black stain on one duvet and dirty sink unit in Bathroom. Location is ok.

Bed linens and towels were fresh, clean, and comfy. However, the shower had hairs in it, and there were two dropped pens on the floor under the desk - suggesting that it doesn't get cleaned thoroughly... The bathroom was good but bedroom fixtures could use updating.
Staff were wonderful, location is great.
I guess you get what you pay for, it was cheaper than most other places, overall was good and would consider staying again.

I am happy with everything, but cleaning and changing the bed sheets need everyday, but we see cleaner only when we are leaving the room’s, need to put more tea and coffee’s. for the guests. Otherwise Good .

The Sea room and balcony were excellent! Well worth the extra money. Checked in on Monday morning quite early, the female Receptionist managed to” chase up” our room and we booked in. Logan in the Restaurant I would. consider an Asset, our meal booking form was misplaced and he simply sorted it with a cheerful smile.Afternoons spent on the balcony!glass of wine, will book again and recommend to others.

This hotel is a very big hotel with dated bedroom furniture and bathrooms, the beds aren’t the most comfy ! The hotel smells damp but if you are lucky the view from our room was amazing facing the sea , breakfast wasn’t the best cooked breakfast but they had said they were short staffed and had a few coach parties in ! Certainly not worth £166 per room per night ,that was paid !

Except for the location of the hotel, nothing is good about it. Rude front office, smelly rooms, poor food (checked later that the hotel was given 1 star rating a couple of years back), very limited parking and amenities.
Terrible experience

have never stayed in such a low standard hotel. It shouldn't have any *** and shouldn’t be called hotel. Hostel would be a better description.
It is old, worn out, old furniture, doors, carpets, seals around the bath are long gone.
Only basic hand soap by the sink. no other toiletries.
Breakfast for individual guests served only between 8.30 and 9.00.
Chceck out 10.00.
Hugely overpriced.

Lovely reception staff. Rooms in need of modernising. Eg windows need replacing, squeaky floorboards, door not fitting properly so light comes in at night & generally need updating. They were at least clean.
Great location with lift to seafront opposite. Bar too expensive to try. Breakfast okay, bit more variety required
