The best hotel I've been in all my travels. Amazing staffs, very welcoming and supportive and always there when you need support.
Top 5 stars and if theres a 10 atar they truly deserves it
The room was absolutely spotless with a fantastic sea view.
The staff were amazing, friendly, polite and extremely helpful.
I would definitely recommend this place.
It was so close to everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable & the staff could not have been more lovely and welcoming. We will definitely be going back!
What a fantastic place! Run by donations and self help! Loads of things to look at, friendly staff!
This is my new go to whilst visiting for work, cant wait until the next trip.
Smooth check in, very quiet but out of season. I was there for work so missed the breakfast unfortunately but everything was ideal and comfortable for a few night stay.
We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here. Situated in a beautiful seaside town, this classic hotel was filled with history and character. The staff was exceptional, and the breakfast was first rate. Our stay was peaceful, quiet, and comfortable. We would recommend this hotel and would very happily stay again.
A great place to stay for a short break. Close to the beach and a short walk to shops and bars. Good breakfast. Comfortable room although the mattress probably needs to be replaced (Room 3). Wonderful military decor and history pictures.
This is a Guets house set up as a Charity for Veterans. The whole place brreds "soldiers" - A superb historical venue, strategically placed by the sea front. Good breakfast.

Friendly atmosphere
Friendly atmosphere; stayed 11 nights; a mid-stay check / clean-over of the room was mentioned in the brochure in the room but did not take place
This is not a conventional hotel but rather a guest house with a fascinating history and purpose. It is run as a charity with a worthwhile purpose and deserves business but just know what you are getting. No question I would go back. Seafront view marvelous.
Beds are a but badly sprung, but otherwise, all very good

Quirkily excellent. On arrival it is not obviously a hotel since it says it is a retreat for ex services. But they do operate as an hotel, so that is the first step. Then you find it to be full of memorabilia for all branches of the service, good breakfast though not till 8am, no evening meals, but short walks bring you to good food.

Nice welcome and pretty everything you could need in the room, but the bathroom was very dated for the price of the room (although shower worked well). Was advertised as Twin or Double, but found it was left as twin for single occupancy.

Ridiculous owners. We booked well in advance for mid summer day and were told after msny weeks it was csncelled, with no explsnation.
Dont go!
Sänky oli hyvä mutta aaamiaiset kuin frendin kotona vierailku joten ei hotelli/majoituspaikkatasoa koskien myös baaria:tee itse drinkkis/ota olut ja kirjaa vihkoon maksaaksesi lähtöpäivänä.
Tilaa aamiainen etukäteen miten haluat,olin 3 yötä ja vain kerran tuli oikein:huom et aamiaisella oli vain 3 pöytäseuruetta...
