The staff were very friendly and accommodating. This trip was booked for us via groupon by my partners children as a treat. We were able to up grade to a sea view for an extra £5 per night which was well worth it. The hotel is Victorian it's old only what we would expect. The room was very spacious. The... More

Your so called "review" isn't deserving of a response. You are clearly a very rude, intolerant, prejudiced person. I will not allow anyone to speak about the Staff in the way you have. They are a sublime team, and their English is far superior to your English looking at your grammatical errors and spelling, let alone your grasp of their... More

Lovely and warm. Buffet breakfast very good. Staff very friendly. Decor a little tired and could do with some TLC. Very quiet even though it was on the sea front. Limited parking at the rear of the hotel. Good position for the town and Great Orme tramway.

Just had a weekend at this hotel through Groupon. Hotel is dated. However, room was nicely decorated and very clean. Breakfast was great. Location of the hotel is great and managed to get parking at the rear of hotel. Free Wi Fi accessed in room, little slow but did the job that we wanted. Overall great weekend and would return.

However someone elses review has helped us to be prepared and we took a small electric heater with us (travelled by car). It is a two star hotel so the rooms are of that standard. However... More

Found this little gem on groupon, paid £38.00 for one night bed and breakfast, well worth the money. The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful when I contacted them, the too was newly redecorated very clean and spacious, the breakfast was very nice, no complaints.
