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.

Extra large double bed in standard room.

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.

An hour from home, door to door by bus. Very sustainable!

Another lovely stay at the hotel, it’s dog friendly and in a great beachfront location. Perfect for walks and getting to local pubs and restaurants. Fabulous breakfast as well!

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.

Tired building, not maintained, overpriced. Located another hotel and left.

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.

Excellent breakfast, pleasant staff

Very clean. The outside of hotel does not reflect the inside. The inside is very nice while the outside looks shabby

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.

Lovely few days away. All staff very friendly and welcoming/approachable. Amazing choice of breakfast. Sofa areas tucked away for reading & chatting. Sea spice restaurant is a must try for dinner one night. We will be going back.

Nice hotel, not much parking but plenty free parking on the road. Room a little cramped but clean and very comfortable
