The property itself was in good shape considering the age food in general was ok ….. as for the mattresses in the rooms it’s like sleeping on a rack from the Middle Ages…. Definitely need new or at least a mattress topper… I’d possibly return if the bedding was changed and was able to get a good deal.

The hotel was a easy walk up the hill from the Beach, shops and park. We had a family room and it was on the 3rd floor, it was as though we had been forgotten, small narrow corridors, very hot no air con, chipped dirty paintwork, very old fashioned and dated. We had to report the broken shower and toilet twice before getting fixed and then the toilet wasn't.

Great staff could not fault them
Bed was the worst I’ve ever slept in
Shower nothing but just a dribble
And needs a lot of work done to bring it up to modern standards.
Will not be returning that’s for sure

Staff were good which always makes a difference. A short walk to the front and the town centre. Inside pools were very good, plenty of room to swim. Noisy at night with teenagers running around, a school trip, and traffic noise.

The room, particularly carpet, was not very clean and decoration tired.
It is really difficult to find one's way around thee hotel and the whole complex. Colour coded signage and far more of it would help. It's hard to take advantage of facilities when information is so poor.

A place to be when you have kids and do not fancy to splash into the cold waters of the Riviera: the swimming pools at TLH are cool! And the one indoor is warm too.
Conveniently located near the seafront, and lical gardens and Torre Abbey. Easy distance to churches, shops and restaurants. Food is ok but reasonably priced. Kids go free and we say Thank You.
I appreciate the rooms NOT being serviced every day because guests must be responsible of keeping their space tidy anyway.
The only 🚫🚫 is the lack of bins to differentiate trash: it's 2025 and a sustainable clean behavior must not go on holiday but be encouraged by adding due bins.

Tiered, dated, very uncomfortable beds, weak WiFi, very noisy both nights stay not a lot of sleep due to shouting, bedroom doors banging and people running up and down the corridors till early hours of morning, we are exhausted won’t be going back. I wanted to re kindle childhood memories with my dad and mum but didn’t feel this at all :(

Very noisy, and because my room was near the lift I could hear the lift talking all night! Its an old hotel and has alot of creaky floor boards too. I had to pay for parking which I was not made aware of until after booking, and the cost was £10 per night, which is expensive.
Only plus was its near the beach, so easy to walk to.

The bedrooms are a bit dated.The waste bin in our room could do with a wash or maybe throw away ,it’s disgusting.
Hotel clean and tidy .pools are fab along with the entertainment.
Personally wouldn’t pay for the evening meal ,not worth the money.breakfast good .
Aztec bistro is the best but they ran out of food on Saturday evening so we had to get a take away!
Would definitely come back
