Very good breakfast. Room OK. Good to see hotel used very much on Saturday evening. Location meant a taxi ride for me as it was about 25 minutes from Congress Theatre

Location (see above)

Basic but clean room. Decent breakfast, very friendly and attentive staff.

Single room, dated and showing age, scuff marks and some stains. Bathroom very dated. Breakfast decent but small portion; laughably small sausage! Although helpful staff did ask if I wanted any more.

Corner sea view gave views of the sea but also of the street adjacent to the hotel. Also meant we got sun in the room most of the day. Original features. Decoration and furnishings very nice. Breakfast - buffet for cereals and juice then waitress service for cooked breakfast. Room positioned on 1st floor near lift as requested. No noise from lift and only minimal noise from other guests. Lovely lounge on ground floor.

Reception area is cramped and not always manned. More selection for breakfast please. Don't like cereal so would have preferred fruit and yoghurt as an option. Bathroom plumbing - temperamental. This was reported and attended to during stay. Hard pillows.

Hotel situated right on the sea front and easy walk to the pier and other amenities. Very nicely decorated and rooms were clean. Seating areas at the front of the hotel (both inside and outside) with pleasant seaviews. Breakfast was excellent although choices of uncooked food were limited to cereals and fruit juices. There is a small but adequately stocked bar. Car parking vouchers available at a reasonable price. Lift to upper floors appreciated!

Nothing really - it was good value and the reception service was very good. However I could imagine that those requiring a continental style of breakfast might be disappointed.

Booked last minute so hardly any availability and stayed in a basic room with an extra kingsize bed. The room was cosy and clean but needs some attention mainly in the bathroom. The food was very good and the staff were excellent and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again hopefully in a Seaview room but if it was a last minute booking and the only availability was a basic room then we would still stay there. The location was very good just 5 mins walk to the pier. 20 mins walk from the train station.

The bathroom needs attention,, toilet flush is a bit haphazard and the hand basin takes too long to empty and the water level is just below the draining area.

Beautiful historic building right on the sea front. Great for 4 family members to spend a nice weekend away together. If you are looking for somewhere to eat, come outside and head behind the hotel and keep going straight. You soon hit the main high street that leads you to the town centre. £1 for the bus every 10 minutes. The high street has so much to offer that ticks all the boxes. We had breakfast in the hotel which is always advisable. Starts the day right. It was filling and yummy. All staff were polite and helpful. It is a clean tidy looked after old building.

Not much air flow in the rooms. Obviously as all rooms fitted with safety windows and 'it ain't half hot mom'.. Visited on weekend where lowest temperature was 24°. They are happy to supply fans for your room which we happily accepted.

The location is great, you've got the beach just across the road and it is only a short walk from the pier - amazing. The rooms look old but they are nicely decorated and clean. The bed was very comfortable.

I wouldn't order breakfast again. For that price, I would rather go out to town. The breakfast itself wasn't particularly tasty and the whole process was very disorganised. The wait was long as you needed to order everything from the waiter, including hot drinks. It would be much better and quicker to have a coffee machine or a flask with coffee that everyone could use. You make an order with one person, somebody else would bring you the food and often, it is not what you ordered. Moreover, there was always something missing. You'd ask the crew to bring more juices but when they do, there are not enough glasses and you need to wait and tell them again. This definitely should be improved.

The room was lovely, it was a good size, great decor, new curtains and matching feature wallpaper, beautiful mirrors, chandelier, 2 sinks in the bathroom, the sea view was breathtaking and worth paying extra for, we even had a sea view in the bathroom, we also paid more for a king bed. I think it had all been recently decorated with new carpet. Comfy bed, had good nights sleep. Coffee machine and fridge was a nice touch. Best thing is that I had mentioned my birthday and was given 2 free drinks tokens, that was lovely. Breakfast was lovely and besides the full English, there was a choice of about 9 cereals in dispensers, and Weetabix, also orange juice, grapefruit juice and apple juice.

There were a few stickers left on the windows that could of been removed. There is no air conditioning and would of been nice to have a fan. First morning older lady with grey hair serving, we didn't even see a menu as it wasn't on our table and when we went to sit down she said, do you want full English breakfast, we said yes as we thought that was all there was. Later we noticed menu on another table which listed the items, and we had no option of how we wanted our eggs, on which the next day we asked for poached, ( this was a man serving us) Would of liked some fruit and yoghurt option.

Location is great, just cross the road and you are already in the beach, warm welcome from staff, very helpful with good tips on what to do in town. Room size is good with all the essential amenities and was clean. Hotel looks elegant in the communal areaa, nicely decorated, and with very good breakfast and customer service. Visitors car parking permit available for purchase (cheaper than paying in the road machine!) and dine-in food was also good. Will definitely return:)

Would advise water running in the shower to be reviewed as water would come as cold or when attempting to find mid-term temperature it would become rapidly very hot. Since weather was hot, end up having shower with cold water but just thinking when weather becomes colder would be good to adjust water temperature accordingly without the risk of burning.

The room was really super, with an excellent sea view. The coffee machine was very good. Big TV, comfy bed. Large bathroom.

On entering reception we were "greeted with" name! (or maybe he said "last name"). No actual welcome, very functional and total lack of warmth. This was a great shame, as all the other staff we encountered were very friendly and we only wished the lady on reception as we left was there when we arrived, as we are sure our first impressions would have been 100% better. The bathroom was huge but the shower cubicle was tiny. (about the smallest possible) Admittedly at the other side of the bathroom there was a large bath with a shower hose but what a waste of usable space. No hooks or anywhere really to put your things.
