Basic room and furniture. Bathroom tired with chipped paint and mouldy tiles. Staff friendly and a great breakfast

Dec 2024

Excellent location, hotel has friendly attentive staff. The building is a little tired but the character very much suits Aldeburgh. Sache windows rattle a bit and make for difficult ventilation. Hotel room probably too warm for our comfort. Room and en suite were clean and equipped with everything we needed.

Check in was very good and organised. Room was generally good. Bathroom was clean and bed was comfortable. The only disappointment was the sea views wasn’t brilliant as the windows were dirty on the outside, and the exterior generally looked uncared for. Breakfast was very good.

Beautiful location facing the sea, ideal for wind-blown walks along the coast. Decor is a little faded and parking was a bit of a pickle, but service was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and the adjacent Indian restaurant wonderful, as was the beer in the bar!

It is a rambling property with charm in a great location but in serious need of updating. The access was difficult with heavy bags and no one offered to help although we did not ask. The staff however were friendly and very polite. There was a capsule-type lift that went part of the way up to one of the floors, a strange structure. The water from the taps in the room was not of drinking quality, although a bottle of water was supplied. Our room was tiny, with a very small bath with shower over. Breakfast was provided and was adequate, we have had better elsewhere. Overall, adequate but overpriced.

We had a standard room. It was clean but perhaps needed updating, as did the public areas in the hotel. Hotel is a good location on the front and we were lucky to get a parking space. We had told the hotel in advance that I’m allergic to animals and therefore didn’t want a pet friendly room. Unfortunately they didn’t have any note of this. Breakfast was fine although it was a little strange on the written menu that it had underlined that you could only have “one” choice. Eg if you have something cooked you couldn’t have a croissant or cereal. I appreciate that hotels don’t want wastage but this seemed a little mean.

This hotel charges Londons west end prices but does not give the service you would expect. They may have non complaining customers due to is location and uppper class aging clinentel. The hotel boasts an In house Indian restaurant. On my first night i orderd a meal and i can honestly say it was the worst i have ever had and the most expensive. Most was from a packet, the chicken had been water induced, the sauce was week. The whole meal was non authentic. I hate complaining but when i did to the manager all i got was the responce ' But the chef is from Kathmandu?.no apology was offered , he was in fact aghast that i had compalined and said he would get back to me, which he did not. When i checked out the following day i was met with the same poor eccuse from the duty manager she also said i will get back to you. 24 hours on and no responce .Overall lack of responce from the managers is appaling, as is the food and the hygine. Eg smears on cutlery and glasses. I therefore do not recommend this hotel unless you are ok with sky high charges, poor hygine, and bad managment. I was at one stage expecting Basil Faulty to make an appearance. I would imagine now i am posting this they will respond. Lets see.

Great location for exploring Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coast. Very pleasant bar and restaurant areas. The Sea Spice Indian restaurant was particularly enjoyable. It’s an old building so there’s lots of stairs and at the time of writing the lift is out of service. The bedroom we occupied was small and comfortable for a short break, but the bathroom was a little dated. However, overall we felt it was good value and we would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Lovely hotel on the seafront and close to all of Aldeburgh's attractions. Would also recommend the Indian restaurant in the hotel which was delicious. The room was clean and spacious but very hot, even with windows open all day. The hotel itself has a lot of stairs and the lift was not working so do let them know if you need an accessible room. Overall would definitely stay again.

Very good value for Aldeburgh. Delightful and helpful staff in all areas. Good sized bedroom and bathroom. Only one improvement that could have been made would have been to be able to open the sash windows to allow for fresh air in the bedroom.

Great choice, the location was wonderful and as we arrived on public transport we found we could visit everywhere we wanted the same way. The room was warm and well looked after, even had bathrobes in the wardrobe. Breakfast had first class choices and was beautifully presented and cooked.

We stayed for 2 nights. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable, although it was a little on the small side. The shower was easy to control and had power (although again the cubicle was a bit small). The reception, cleaning and breakfast staff were all very professional and helpful, and made us feel welcome. The breakfast is made to order and there is a good variety of choice. The pancakes and the veggie breakfast were both tasty. There is free public parking available opposite the hotel, this can get quite busy at peak times but we always managed to find a space.

A very sad and unloved hotel. Shocking state of repair both outside and in the bedroom. Ancient, scruffy furniture, peeling wallpaper, threadbare carpet, horrible bathroom, the worst loo roll seen since Izal in my infant school loos in the 70s. No plug sockets at bedside. Sea view obscured by filthy windows 😒 Room appeared clean, comfy bed, breakfast OK, breakfast room actually quite nice relatively, very good eggs... Not the cheapest hotel we've ever stayed in but probably one of the worst.

Lovely hotel and lovely staff however systems t support their efficiency are not in place so we fell victim a few times to being left without being asked if we needed anything. Our final breakfast took 25 mins from seating to being offered even a drink.

Very welcoming helpful staff. Rooms were very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Everything was thought of in the room including a fan which was great if you like to have the room cool. The breakfast was amazing and you could choose whatever you wanted from the menu. It was easy free parking right outside of the hotel which is great for anyone with mobility problems. Overall a great place to stay.
