Great location close to main street full of restaurants cafes etc. Room was very clean and spacious, super comfy bed. Given the size of the hotel, the rooms were also soundproofed so very quiet. Check in was quick with convenient pre checkin registration. The only downside was the WiFi unstable but that won't stop us from staying here again. It's fab

Clean room with comfortable bed. Shared balcony and we had neighbours who smoked. There was no designated parking spot for us which meant we had to park up the hill.

Avoid if you want sleep. The noise at North Pier Hotel is unbearable. Loud music, pub noise and people well into the night, plus early morning disturbances. The room shared a wall with the pub and had virtually no soundproofing, making sleep impossible. Location is good, but it’s completely overshadowed by the constant noise. Would not stay again.
