We loved the location. Shops across the road plenty of restaurants very close by and very short walk to the Strand. The staff were wonderful very helpful. The pool area was very nice. The food in the restaurant was amazing and meals were very big. The bad was the rooms they were awful. Paint peeling from the walls and ceilings. No towel racks, shower in a dreadful condition as was the handbasin, nowhere to put anything. The beds were quite old and not very comfortable.The jug in the room smelt of mould so we didn't use it.The whole room needed to be gutted and redone. Would we stay here again.NO. we checked out a day early and I was very surprised that they very kindly refunded our last night. So much to like at this place but the rooms leave so much to be desired.

Old but tidy. Clean sheets and towels, great food, convenience plus, walk to supermarket and coffee shops. Two negatives: Had to walk out front door and around the corner to the car park lugging baggage when leaving in the morning, and no cutlery or plates to have cereal in the morning. Overall, I’d go there again.

I love Hotel Allen but feel it is desperately in need of money being spent on it ie new paint, refurbishment etc. When it rained the window leaked on to the single bed in my room so I'm happy there was nobody sleeping in that bed. But otherwise it was quiet, clean, excellent location, enjoyed swimming in the pool. If I had the money I'd buy it myself, sitting on a gold mine in the location etc

Great location. Unable to lock window on arrival but it was fixed later in the day after we advised. While clean it could do with some paint and freshening up. Dinner meal was nice but they forgot to put in a few listed ingredients. We felt comfortable enough staying here for the price we paid.
