Ocean View Hotel

My account was charged twice, please avoid this hotel, our room was not clean and we found cockroach.

The Ocean View Hotel is in a good location, but unfortunately the property itself feels extremely dated and in need of a full refurbishment. The hotel looks very old, and most of the amenities are worn down from years of use. Furnishings, décor, and fittings appear tired and outdated, which takes away from what could otherwise be a pleasant stay. While the views and location are nice, the overall condition of the hotel does not meet modern expectations. A complete renovation would greatly improve the comfort, appearance, and overall guest experience. As it stands, the hotel feels neglected and does not offer good value for money.

Parking is on an if your lucky basis, when we arrived we were told the swimming pool was closed until summer, this was not mentioned when booking on Hotels.com platform this was the very reason we booked therefore mis selling We were also told no chef this evening so no food, the entertainment offered was outside in the garden stage which means you have to listen to it even if you don’t want to Thursday was Jules Nelson who wasn’t too bad but on Saturday it was an act that had Cyrus in his name his sets were so loud and his tracks full of bass dreadful noise unfortunately, even when we shut the balcony door and window it could still be heard, a pointer to the fact that Ocean View Hotel is very old and tired and in desperate need for updating, we will be looking at some kind of refund for not being told about the fact that certain amenities like swimming were not available overall disappointing to say the least we travel to the island on business every week however we will not be booking into this hotel again

Parking was easy as the hotel was empty. The pool was closed and this was an important part of the decision to stay there so very disappointing. The view was incredible and the best part. Breakfast waitress was excellent and very attentive. Very helpful chap on duty in the evening as well. Lovely cooked breakfast and croissants. Weird balcony set up left me concerned, as our bathroom window was inside next doors balcony area and not ours!! I think this was only our room though? Very close to town and pubs and shops..

The hotel is currently under renovation but the work did not interrupt the stay. The room was clean and adaquate, but things like the curtains and carpets need attention. The staff were very helpful and polite. There weren’t many people staying there so it was very quiet and easy to park, but I should imagine parking would be difficult in peak season as spaces were very limited compared to the size of the hotel. The bar was well stocked, but the bar area/room needed decorating. The hotel is in a very convenient position with lovely sea views. I would stay there again.
