I had a wonderful three-night stay at Drakes Hotel, enjoying the spotless room and luxurious bath amenities. The only downside was the wet room design that left the toilet soaking after showers, which was slightly inconvenient. Overall, I appreciated the attentive staff and good dining experience, especially at breakfast.

My room was beautifully clean and stylishly designed, featuring top-class bedding and lovely toiletries. However, the wet room design meant the toilet often got wet after I showered, which made it less practical.

The hotel offered great facilities like complimentary snacks and drinks, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. However, having a mini-fridge in the room would have been a nice touch for drinks.

I recently stayed at Drakes Hotel and had a very mixed experience. The sea views from my room were amazing and the staff were exceptionally friendly! However, I encountered several issues including noise from the busy street, which made it difficult to sleep. The décor seemed dated and in need of refurbishment, which was disappointing given the price I paid. Overall, while it had potential, I left feeling that it could use some updates. 🌊🛏️

I enjoyed my stay at Drakes, which offered stunning sea views and stylishly designed rooms. However, the noise from the busy street was quite disruptive, especially for those of us not used to city chaos. The unique bathroom setup was a bit problematic, too, as it led to water everywhere after taking a shower.

My room was bright and airy, featuring trendy decor and an interesting bath by the window. Unfortunately, the wet room was poorly designed, and I often ended up soaking everything in the bathroom after a shower (including the toilet paper).
