a lot of character.

Great stay as we traveled the south coast of England. Wonderfully walkable waterfront with a lot of restaurants just steps away. Very nice and helpful service at the front desk, and parking was super easy.

It was an incredible building and my room had a spiral staircase in it! Very old fashioned and a marvel to see. It’s quite outdated though, my cold tap didn’t work and the plughole was quite full with hair so the water didn’t drain… but that was part of the charm of it in a way. If you k own what to expect, it’s great - location, value and view!

The whole place was a bit tired and the decor and carpets needed attention. The shower door over the bath kept springing open and water leaked on the floor. Most of the staff were helpful although the breakfast service could be improved. In our first breakfast I asked for poached eggs but was told that I was too late because breakfast had nearly finished although there was 45 minutes left. On the 2nd day I was successful and had poached eggs although chef was not confident with them. They were perfectly cooked and on the next day when I asked again I was declined but when I said they were good the day before I was given them!!

Room on 4th floor with a sea view. Bed was comfortable, room we would call, shabby chic, could do with another chair. Towels lovely & white. We have stayed here quite a lot over times the years & are staying again in November. There are a few parking spaces but all were gone by 4pm on a Friday. Had to park in the seafront car park at a cost of £7.50 for 24 hours. We didn’t eat in the hotel. Ate in Forte’s Italian restaurant about 10 min walk from hotel, which was very good. Would recommend hotel.

Staff were very friendly, helpful and room was clean and comfortable but heaters were very dusty. Communal areas stemmed neglected and do with some modernisation! Communal toilets were very dark. Restaurant was ok and good value for money but a more modern menu and improved ambiance would make it a more sociable experience.

First morning for breakfast not enough staff at 08.15 all tables dirty not cleared , food was cold had to ask for a t spoon none with yogurts or on t table no one asked if wanted tea . Same second morning i saw a family clear a table themselves .Also a film crew were there they appeared to take over the facilities so couldn't use the bar that evening or the dining room with the nice sea view , felt this should not have been at our expense .

The hotel is clean, bed comfortable and any staff we met were helpful and kind. The hotel itself is tired and could do with some investment. It feels like that’s reflected in the price.

It was one of the worst hot I have ever seen. I travelled for 2 hours but ended up 20 years old hotel furnishings. Old carpets, dirty windows, squeeky floor boards, no service. Avoid it at any cost. I don't understand why hotels.com is listing this place.

Check in was ok, I booked and paid for it online and had a family room as there were no double rooms available, I wanted a double bed and was disappointed to find that it was only a 4ft6. The whole room was very dated, the hot water took forever to come through in the shower which was very poor and the bin still had empty tuna salad container and water bottles which made me think the room hadn't been cleaned. The electric wall heater gave off a smell for quite a while when I plugged it in. The breakfast was good which is a plus point. I was only there overnight so couldn't be bothered to say anything which maybe was wrong but I'd probably not stay there again for the price

Our reservation was overbooked to someone else and I was not telephoned and did not know until we went to check in.
Staff eventually found an " emergency" spare room ,equivalent to what we booked ,however Expedia originally charged me £120 and in fact the room we were given was in fact £90 at the hotel.
The room itself was very "tired" looking and obviously had not been decorated in a very long time.The bathroom was very dated ,old and not cleaned adequately with mould and dirt around the bath seals.The shower was very old, basic and with verytemperamental water temperature - went from very cold to scalding hot.
Overall a very disappointing stay and extremely overpriced for the poor condition of the room .

Very spacious double room, clean and comfortable. Lovely to have a couch and coffee table in a standard room. We were able to sit and watch the sea in comfort! Lovely breakfast, good choice. I would have liked it served earlier at the weekend though. We are early risers and 8am was a bit late for us. There is very limited parking on site so we had to hunt around the surrounding streets for a space. Something to bear in mind if you are not very mobile?

It was a convenient stay for one night with a good view of the somewhat stormy sea. Breakfast was adequate but not great.

Wonderful sea views, especially from the lovely piano lounge, terrific for pre-dinner drinks and bar food. The lighting in the dining room was so low however that you couldn't read the menu. Staff were delightful.
8.0 / 10.0
Some of the staff were great, though the attitude of the reception when I turned up 3hrs earl for check-in was decidedly lacking. No help provided, no checking to see if the room was ready even though I was early, instead (because the day was very windy and wet) I spent an uncomfortable 3 hours in their so could 'lounge', decidedly lacking in amenities and the bar was tucked round a corner so not immediately visible if you go upstairs to it. The guy doing the bar and the front desk were very helpful later on, but that initial impression is pretty poor.
On a quick look the décor was definitely suffering, peeling pain on all window frames and the net curtain in my room was torn AND had what looked like mildew.
Having the bathroom/toliet down some stairs and round a corner was a bit strange as well and I could see that older people would really struggle as there is no hand rail down those steps

Niceclean hotel.

We arrived at reception at 2.40 and without even checking were told our room was not ready until 3.00! So we had to return in 20 minutes! Our evening meal in the restaurant was very good indeed. Breakfast was well below average, with most of the food either cold or dried up. Certainly not worth £29. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The sofa in the lounge was somewhat small but luckily we didn't spend much time sitting on it.

Lovely location, our room looked out to sea. Friendly staff, clean rooms. All round perfect stay although only for one night, would love to come back for an extended break.

We had a lovely couple of days here. The property is 19th century and admittedly it is in need of a bit of careful renovation now. However the staff could not be more helpful and friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Our room was very grand looking, absolutely huge with high ceilings.

I loved the hotel, lovely historical place. A little tired in places. Overall the place was worth the money charged. The food at the restaurant was nice.
