What a pleasant surprise - fantastic service from every member of staff from the moment we booked - everyone had a smile on their face and seemed genuinely pleased we were guests at their hotel (definitely not too overwhelming - just so pleasant to receive such high quality service from them all!). We had a spotless, large double room (311)... More

Stayed at park central in may 2013. Have stayed here before and standards are always very high. Staff everyone of them, polite and extremely helpful. Room sizes do vary but if you're lucky you could end up with a sea view and separate lounge or even a balcony. The BIC is right across the road. The hotel has no leisure... More

Everything about this hotel was good. Great location, perfect in fact! only about a 5 mins walk to the central peer/beach etc. Equally just a very short walk to the town centre shops, bars etc. The hotel is very very new and clean. The room we stayed in was lovely, had a sea facing room, pretty large room too, with... More

Great location. Very professional, friendly staff. Spotlessly clean rooms. Lovely breakfast area.. I wish we had eaten in the restaurant. Car parking is at the multi storey opposite - with located bays on level 3. Very easy to park, very straight forward. No hassle.
