I loved the Elstead Hotel! It is a great, traditional British seaside hotel with friendly staff, a huge and well-appointed room (214) and a tasty breakfast. The room had a fridge, a sofa, a table and chairs, a desk and a large wardrobe. The bathroom was dated but really good quality and clean. The hospitality tray had decaf coffee and little tea pots. There was an iron and board as well as the ubiquitous trouser press. With a kitchenette, the room would have been a studio flat to live in! And the big, fluffy towels were a touch of luxury. Breakfast was just right, in my view. There were limited options but this meant what there was, was done very well, with no faff. The cooked breakfast was tasty and the cereal choice was extensive.
The television in our room was tiny! The room arrangement, with sofa next to the TV and table and chairs opposite the TV (at the end of the bed) meant the sofa couldn’t be used to watch the telly. In addition, the pillows were quite hard and flat so couldn’t prop one up easily and the chairs were in the way. We were staying one night, so this did not matter. However, this room would be excellent for a longer stay so a swap between the sofa and table and chairs would be a good move. The communal areas are in dire need of decoration but it doesn’t really matter. It adds to the traditional ambience, somewhat!

Hotel was clean and comfortable and staff were friendly
We booked with reference to the web site but when we received final confirmation two days before arrival we were told that te the hotel would not be serving evening meals. although not a major part of our holiday we do like the hotels we stay in to have evening restaurants

Very helpful staff, we arrived much earlier than we expected to and were able to check in. Lovely large room and great breakfast. Spa was a treat. Located perfectly for beach and city centre.
Nothing, had a great stay.

The breakfast was very good, and all the staff I met were really friendly. Although the decor was a little tired in places and my room was quite small, it was spotlessly clean.
The pool area was good but signposting needs a bit of attention. It wasn’t very clear how to access the leisure suite and once inside I had to ask the way out. A few signs would help, as there were multiple doors around the place.

Location is good as very near to the centre of town and quiet
Very shabby hotel...worn and tired....it was only a night's stay but would not have wanted to stay another night. Breakfast was very mediocre.

Location was fantastic
Very friendly staff
Good size car park
Bathroom in room a little rough in places , large cracks in toilet cistern repaired with mastic.
Room decor is very dated
Owners could spend a little money to bring up to date as not the cheapest hotel.
Gym changing area if I'm honest is disgusting , floor peeling up , mastic once again used to fill large gaps , not good for close to £ 200 a night.

Reception were exceptionally friendly and helpful, it was really a joy to arrive.
My single room was basic, but very clean and with a comfortable bed and a surprisingly generous en suite bathroom.
Since the room was on the third floor, I was very grateful for the fact that I could use a lift - not a given in many hotels in older buildings.
The location was great, parking available around the hotel and the cost of the room was good value for money.
There was nothing I disliked,
Breakfast was a solid and respectable full English - my only suggestion for improvement would be to use fresh tomatoes instead of from the tin and to cook scrambled eggs fresh rather than microwave them.

The hotel is in a good location. Close to local amenities, about 20-25 mins away from beach.
Staff is really nice and helpful. Breakfast was really nice and filling. There was a buffet style so everyone can go themselves to the amount they want to eat. We came here 2 years ago and decided to come again as we liked the place. Room is cleaned everyday, bins taken and beds made.
The only things I can criticize is the amount of cobwebs in our room and in the building (dining room!), I know they are easy to be missed but as I work in houskeeping myself I do pay attention to such things.
Also the pillows were really flat and not comfortable at all, please try and change them as they are a let down.
