Fantastic hotel. Wonderful location is spot on. The crew that work the hotel are lovely and so obliging. Such lovely manners too. The room we had was lovely and we had a good view of the sea. Parking is free and very convenient to the hotel. Lifts to the upper floors are such a welcomed addition. Entertainment in the evening and day trips during the day, if interested. Games room and lovely comfortable seating. We will be returning again. Probably every year from now on. Hopefully, a room at the front of the hotel next time for a slightly different view. A bar and restaurant too. Thank you.

Could do with plug socket on each side of the bed. So, not a dislike. Rather an observation.

Lovely location, geared up to owners coach tour company. Not the ‘Seabank ‘ it used to be , but still clean and comfortable, has a lift , pleasant evening entertainment . Breakfast cost £10 was basic , bacon/ eggs/ mushroom/ sausage / beans ok cooked well but not that inspiring Probably geared to mainly elderly clients . Eg no nuts and red fruit for the porridge/ cereal ( choice of fruit was prunes and grapefruit) - Tom had pleasant sea view, was warm, clean, comfortable and tranquil

Could have been cheaper eg £80 per night instead of £105 for mid week stay

Nice hotel, staff we met while on our stay were very friendly. breakfast was ok, not very warm. Room was nice. View was beautiful.

We had a £100 parking fine through the door about a week after our stay, we put our number plate in the machine on arrival as requested and wrote it on our arrival form and still received a fine which was very distressing as I then had to contact the hotel to get them to sort it, the woman on the phone the 1st time I rang wasn't very helpful and was quite rude, i spoke to a different woman later that day and she was very helpful, the hotel did then sort the fine but had to be prompted to confirm it had been cancelled and left us worrying as it would go up if it wasn't sorted ASAP. And no apology or anything offered for the inconvenience. Very poor. Get them to confirm your parking before you leave.

Staff are great, they're welcoming and polite. Location is excellent. Clean throughout. We had a large corner room with fabulous sea views this time. Stayed here a few times now just for short breaks because the price is fair, location is perfect, right on sea front and the staff are great. Free hotel parking is fab too and just a few minutes walk into town.

This hotel mostly caters for coaching holidays so mostly older adults. The restaurant is brilliantly run with food being served without delay but as its mostly coaching holidays it makes sense for the hotel to keep the set 3 course menu to be efficient and cost effective with that many meals to serve but it's not really for us, we'd prefer something a little more tasty and to not have to pay for 3 courses when we just want a main. Rooms we've stayed in haven't been updated in years but still presentable and clean.

Lovely staff, fabulous location, great parking. Breakfast was delicious and the evening meal was very reasonably priced! Just needed to get away from life for a weekend and soak up some of that sea air. This is not my first visit to Seabank Hotel and know they wont disappoint. Had an amazing sea view from my room and they generously let me park my car there for the remainder of the day after I booked out. Everything I wanted from my weekend break and left feeling fully refreshed.

If I had to take a mark off for anything it would be the fact that even though I had an amazing sea view the room was very very warm, even though the heater was off - although I do appreciate that this is a personal preference

It was the perfect place for a couple of nights, for an old style hotel, rooms have been updated and we're in good condition aswell as the original fittings still in tacked, which was lovely to see. We were surprised to find evening entertainment as well as nightly Bingo. There was also a small lounge/ snug, where they were showing the Euro's England Game. Hotel was in a perfect location and great to watch the world go by, from the bar windows and outdoor benches. Also parking was on the premises and was included in the price.

Not alot of choice of larger in the bar. Breakfast was quite small , would have rather paid alittle more for a bigger breakfast.

I grew up with my family residing between Nottage Porthcawl and France.The Seabank has pride of place on our Esplanade,built in the Art Deco style its lends a touch of faded opulence.My former friends family used to manage the Seabank in the 1970s.At one time my dear grand-dad who had a title and knew all the late Royals was a chef there.I like the spacious lounges+the wooden staircase with paintings.Also a special mirror underneath a canopy ceiling.I shall move back to Porthcawl.

I noticed the lobby entrance has been altered.The design team should of kept the old ambiance instead of a makeshift stark lobby too modern for the building. It wouldn*t cost much to reinstall a finer wood reception desk and a better French door,instead of white they may choose cream.It would be nice if an ornate antique round table with fresh flowers be somewhere for good luck the same as in the Georges Cinq Hotel in Paris where i was lucky enough to stay with my family and beautiful titled mummy Patricia Ann who was directly related to French and British Prince Philip. It is important old style ambiances are retained as they lend the grace and charm so missing in the modern world.Lovely old Sea bank+former lovely old Esplanade stay as you are in our memories.x Lavina Morticia.x

Breakfast was great. Plenty of choice and variety. Parking was great & free. Location is perfect. Hotel was very clean & all staff very friendly.

Room booked was Seaview and technically it was, but from the side of the hotel your not getting a full seaview similar to those with a full sea view at the front who had paid the same price. - Shower in room was dissapointng - slightly more powerful than a trickle.

What can I say....the sea view from our room was stunning! We definitely were not expecting that. We booked a small double but the room was far from small. it was HUGE! Lovely comfy sofa to sit to watch the sea. The bathroom was great with a fantastic shower. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. Would highly recommend.

Only thing I can think of is the WIFI was very sketchy but what do you expect staying by the sea! We had a lovely experience. 10 out of 10 in our opinion!

View and entertainment

Cooked Breakfast was poor and not value for money.. 1 piece of bacon I could not cut it was so hard, the 1 sausage was burnt , the scrambled egg was tasteless the fried bread was half of half a slice and a tablespoon of beans the portions were very small
