We stayed here the night after the Great North Run, when the prices were significantly higher, which was somewhat expected. The hotel was fine overall, though there was noticeable wear and tear in the room, like broken tiles and worn furniture. However, it's not advertised as a luxury place, so this wasn’t a big issue.
The location is great, with a nice view of the sea and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. We dined in the hotel's bar area, where they offered two menus: one for the bar, mostly burgers with just one vegetarian option, and a restaurant menu with one vegetarian and one fish option. They allowed us to order from the restaurant menu while sitting in the bar area.
I initially ordered the vegetarian option, but after 10 minutes, the staff informed me they were out of halloumi and couldn’t prepare it. Normally, I would have gone elsewhere, but since my friend’s food was almost ready, I chose the fish option instead. There was a £3 price difference, and I was surprised they charged me for it, considering it was their mistake. The food itself was quite nice, though we didn’t stay for breakfast.

Although this hotel has been refurbished since my last visit, it was much brighter, but i was disappointed with the cheap, creaky beds....so uncomfortable. The decor was ok in room 213, but there were crumbling patches on the wall beside the window.....unsightly. The shower was decent with nice white towels. Food was good and reasonably priced. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly.

All the reviews that say that Sea Hotel is old, dated, unclean ARE ALL FAKE. I am very difficult to please but I found Sea Hotel exceptionally clean, new, fresh, refurbished. Comfortable mattress. New towels and linen. New plush carpet in my room. Neutral colours, white and grey. Refurbished bathroom. No dust anywhere in my room. Brand new shiny kettle. Sea Hotel South Shields is the best Hotel in the UK. Engaging with the staff was very pleasant at check in and check out. They used my name in talking to me which was very nice. Well done Sea Hotel.

A one night stay to visit family, the room was clean and comfortable with a view of the sea and fairground….. although at night it wasn’t noisy.
We had a lovely breakfast included in the room rate too.
If you’re looking for a nice hotel in a fantastic location this is the place to stay. Can highly recommended.

The hotel is very well situated for a short summer break to visit family and friends, there was entertainment for everyone and over the weekend visitors to the area gave the place a real buzz. The staff were very friendly and went beyond their duties to care and look after us during our stay.

Clean but building work was ongoing, reception toilets were out of order. Bed was comfy but the pillows were very hard. Great location, friendly staff on reception and bar

We were first given a room with a small double bed (4ft) this is not what I would expect from a double room. Eventually, we were moved to a bigger room in the annex however this was very hot despite using a fan and air conditioning unit. The room had no windows to open to the outside, only to a conservatory-like corridor with two radiators that were on full blast and when the sun shone in it got even hotter. Credit to the receptionist though who brought us complimentary drinks for the inconvenience.

Room was very small, no wardrobe for our clothes, was suitable for 1 night as we didn't stop in the room long.

Stayed in 206 … pros - big room … cons - very poor recent makeover. Just looked a bodge job. The worst was the old, blood stained and extremely uncomfortable mattress on the bed. We booked for two nights but only stayed for one.

Stayed for 1 night paid extra for breakfast, had been closed due to refurbishment and we stayed day after opening. Workmen in main lobby as soon as we arrived no front desk a workman told us where to go . Our room was on 2 nd floor no lift and I have mobility issues but I took it slow the ground floor twin rooms were being refurbished. Our room had no wardrobe, just a hanging rail, no drawers to put clothes and no curtains just a roller blind it was a nicely decorated room though and was clean. Breakfast was served between 7 and 9.30 however there was a huge sign to say it was between 7 and 12 so I asked if we could come down at 10 which they said no problem we will let the kitchen know.we got to dining area at 10 it was all being tidied away so they took us through to the bar area which was a right mess with boxes and bags and keys and ppl in and out and they sat us at a freezing cold window . Breakfast was a full English that was only choice due to them being under refurbishment ( their website said work would be done the day prior) the breakfast came after waiting 35 mins but was absolutely lovely but due to us having to check out at 11 we didn't have time to eat it all was a mad rush for us to get bk upstairs and pack room up . Bar was closed and no restaurant which a lady told us day before we came , we went up rd to a lovely Indian restaurant instead.
I paid 93 pound for a twin room with breakfast and hugely disappointed.
