Location is the best aspect

Location is great, within walking distance of seafront and town centre. Quiet by night. Pool area is nice. Downsides are the rooms are cramped - (or at least lower category ones are) - in a side seaview room there is only enough room for one person to walk around the bed at once. Bathroom is tired with a very weak hose shower over the bath. Breakfast was just OK. Service is poor, all the customers had to keep trying to get staff attention for what they needed. Some of the food is iffy - scrambled eggs are inedible (reconstituted?). I'd stay again for the location if I felt inclined to pay more for a bigger room.

Beautiful stay in a lovely hotel, room was good but extremely hot and didn’t really cool down. Gardens are beautiful, swimming pool cold but to be expected in April. Overall a good stay.

The Hydro has a yesterday charm; it’s inviting and for me a pleasure to stay when working away. Food was not as good as the last time I stayed, but hoping that is just a blip.
