Reviews and Ratings
Staying in an Art Deco hotel in a great location was a special experience. The rooms, though lacking in decor, were clean and comfortable. The service was friendly and satisfactory. The hotel's location is excellent, just across the road from the beach and adjacent to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with tasteless options. Overall, a good value for money stay.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room with a water view and balcony was lovely, especially during the cold weather. It took some time to get a bottle of wine to our room, but when it arrived, it was amazing. The outdoor terrace and high-quality fixtures made the room feel luxurious.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, although a bit tight for space with two suitcases. The bar and restaurant were exceptional, a big shoutout to the amazing bar team. The location was perfect, right in the center of the city in a charming Art Deco building, making it the ideal place for a relaxing break with a glass of wine on the shared balcony.
The art deco suite didn't seem to be soundproof as we could hear other guests' conversations. Despite being styled nicely, the rooms were slightly on the small side and were not serviced for the first two days.
The hotel provided a nice and clean room of decent size, suitable for a couple, with a view. However, it was next to a street where early morning noise from street cleaning and Irish pub bottle collection could disturb your sleep.
The hotel offers themed furnishings in comfortable rooms with a large bed. The staff is very helpful, and the location is ideal for walks, shopping, and exploring history. However, noise from the pub downstairs can be disruptive at night.
