Do not stay here. It’s that simple. I’ve stayed at many hotels in many countries on many continents and this is the worst by a mile.
Staff couldn’t be less helpful and friendly if they tried and the rooms clearly haven’t been touched for 30 years. I wouldn’t go back if it was free.
A lovely hotel at a budget price
Room was warm, clean, comfortable, with free tea and coffee, a kettle, iron and board and hairdryer and also with a balcony with table and chairs
Carpet and furniture were old but it’s all groovy
Breakfast was nice at a good price but I did not feel well after <<
Tripped over nothing on the carpet a few times
It was an ace groovy experience with no major problems
1 night stay this time..stayed few times before..Fairly good big hotel..nice room and bath/shower room.
No heating though..this is Dec' and cold and windy..with draughts...ground floor.
Room wasn't particularly cold..the heating had been on at some time as the radiator wasn't stone cold..it obviously had broken down..Complained and it was noted.
Situated close to the beach around 15 mins walk and peace and quiet. Parking was a bit of a problem as to many cars and not enough space. Overall enjoyable and I’d definitely revisit again
Me and a friend stayed as we was going to the O2 the hotel had no entertainment on at the weekend but did through the week .
The rooms needed some TLC
Breakfast was lovely
I spent one night here with my dachshund and it was spacious compared to other single rooms I had previously stayed in very quiet and was a good night's rest

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel was exactly what we needed—a room and a bed for the night. The location was perfect for our plans, which was a big plus. While the rooms felt a bit tired and could have been cleaner, overall, it was a good value for what we paid. A decent choice for a short stay.

The room we were in could do with a refurbishment ie painting and new curtains but the staff were polite and professional
A convenient, cheap and cheerful hotel. Aesthetically it's a bit dated, but you get what you pay for.
Reception and car staff are great. Rooms are clean and comfy enough. Free parking is good. But to have a clean, heated, quiet pool is great.
