Nice Hotel, Great Location

Great location for South Pier and Pleasure Beach. A little noisy at night but any hotel in the area would be the same. The hotel had a power outrage upon our arrival which the owners managed to sort out as promptly as the utility companies would allow, using a generator. Although the issue was not the fault of the hotel, we were happily compensated in the form of a few drinks on the house and a decent chat with the owners.

6/10 Good

Very basic and no WiFi or heating

Stayed on 6/4/24 one night Very basic, TV with no remote, no smoke alarms present in the building, no WiFi due to building work, room was clean but got cold through the night, no heat from radiator Curtains were coming off the rails. This was a cheap deal so I suppose you just get basic.
Melanie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really disappointing stay. The room was freezing as the heating was not on. There was no hot water to wash our faces with. There was no door on the bathroom. There was stains all over the carpet. Thank god we were only there for 1 night!
Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly greeting when we arrived. Only a couple of small issues, the shower door was broken so we couldn't use the shower properly, but it was sufficient for the kids to wash off the sea water from their legs. The only other issue is that we booked a family room, which was on the top floor, I'm just glad our kids are older and didn't need carried up all the stairs. But that's not an issue with the hotel, just a mild inconvenience. Room was tidy, well insulated windows drowned out the sound of the pier at night, keycard access to allow you to come and go as needed. It seems like the building is getting upgraded and worked on, good luck to the proprietor with the works.

4/10 Fair

If your simply looking for a bed only then your in luck. The rooms are dirty with chewing gum in the bathroom to greet you. A rusty old kettle with no tea or coffee to greet you only 1 teabag. The window was broken and wouldnt shut so the whistling noise it made was unbearable all night. Nothing good to say.
Sonia, 1-night trip

Avoid

On arrival we were greeted with a dirty pair of pants in the bathroom. The tap in bathroom was stiff and wouldn’t turn off properly the shower was awful no power and smallest shower head possible was told there was toiletries but there isn’t as only on a 1 night stay took none luckily a spar round the corner. The room itself was dusty & very hot then to complete it all in the morning turned on tv for my little niece to watch but didn’t work. Plus point il never have to go to this cesspit agai.

We stayed in a family room, Simple words room designed as prison cell. Toilet doesn’t have a proper door it’s like a curtain can’t close properly. If someone using the toilet room smell too. Very bad bed. Internet useless. Ripped Tavel. & etc…. I strongly advise family’s not to book in.

2/10 Poor

Nothing pictures sent was not the room we had or anything like it door did not close properly room was dirty and untidy paid for seaview and got fire escape double room booked got bed bunk beds fold up bed in corner horrible and told no refund we were in the room 15mins and booked another hotel nothing like described
Keith, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower had 2 settings. Scalding hot or freezing cold. The soap dispenser was over the sink, none in the shower. The light in the bathroom didn't work. The kettle lead didn't reach the plug socket and the kettle didn't fit under the sink to fill it. Minor inconveniences but nonetheless inconvenient. For £35 it was OK.
Steve, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I understand this is a "budget" hotel but...Certainly not as advertised online. It is very very "drab". The television didn't work, no signal at all, constant dripping tap Grubby grey towels, no toilet brush, no hand soap, no coffee in the tea caddy, nobody around when you need them. They advertise politely that you respect there are children living there and to be quiet between certain hours. The said children were actually the ones to keep us awake and woke us early in the morning by running up and down, shouting and banging up above us. Luckily, we just needed somewhere to rest our heads...it certainly was not restful but we were knackered. Will definitely not be returning
