The hotel is situated in a charming area of Babbacome, just a 5-minute walk from the Cliff Railway, close to the beach and not far from key attractions. Rooms were spacious but outdated compared to the online images, with mismatched and scratched furniture. The service, although friendly, had some lapses in communication and room assignment. Dining was lacking attention to detail, with a mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel is set in the charming area of Babbacome, offering a beautiful location close to key attractions and a park. The rooms are spacious with a large bathroom, though some may encounter issues like dirty towels from the previous occupant. The service was accommodating but had minor lapses in communication. Dining had its flaws, with issues like serving eggs with shell. Overall, the hotel presents itself as a decent option with some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was excellent, close to the beautiful Babbacombe beach and the Cliff Railway, the rooms left much to be desired with wallpaper falling off the walls and dirty towels from the previous occupant. The service was lacking in customer skills and the dining experience was subpar, with eggs served with shells. However, I appreciated the effort to accommodate our request for a quieter room even though it was not as nice as the original one.
The hotel is located in a comfortable area with a good bar, not far from shops and Babbacombe High Street. The rooms have some unusual features that may not be suitable for all guests, especially those with specific needs. The service, despite being accommodating, could improve with better management. The location in the beautiful area of Babbacome offers a tranquil experience but might be too high for some visitors seeking entertainment. The dining experience, although inclusive, had some drawbacks in the quality of the served dishes. The hotel does provide local sweets.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were disappointing with wallpaper falling off but the staff made up for it. The location was convenient but the dining experience left much to be desired.
The hotel is situated in the beautiful area of Babbacombe, not far from key attractions and next to Babbacombe Downs. The rooms offer a nice view, but they had not been updated to match the pictures on the internet. The service seemed helpful overall, but there were some instances of abruptness and a lack of customer service skills. The dining experience was mixed, with excellent bacon but some issues like eggs served with shells. The location is convenient, although the maze of corridors downstairs can be confusing. The hotel offers decent value for money considering the proximity to attractions and the pleasant residential area.
