Food service was crap. Waited 45 mins for pouched eggs which by the look of the other people they were hard boiled with no running yoke. We left after waiting 45 mins for food and went else were to pay for food.
Second day we did not get offered tea or what food we wanted.
Room had a step to go into the bathroom which was not marked on the floor and only had a very small sign on the door below the handle which was a job to see what it was. Broken wardrobe,Bed were two singles pushed together. Sellotape on the cracked windows.Waste pipes running down the wall of the room and you could hear who was using the toilets above us. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK AGAIN
The room was clean, but the mattress needs renewing, as the springs were begining to come through, continental breakfast was good, staff were nice and attentive, needs a bit of a pint job through our and new carpets on the stairs, but was clean.
We actually stayed at The IRIS hotel as Elsinore was under renovation following storm damage. We were upgraded to a sea view room at The Iris, with a gorgeous huge bay window with the pier in sight.
The lady at reception was lovely and friendly. Breakfast gentleman was also so mannerly and friendly. Everything was super clean, but cosy. This cost us £53 inc continental breakfast, for two. Superb value for money.
Great location, rooms were clean and staff was nice. Beds were terrible, not comfortable at all. Breakfast was crap and was priced too high for what you get.
Receptionist wasnt helpfully at all u talk to him u was looking the ither way and talking back. Hall way was leaking from the ceiling, curtains as u can see doesnt cover the window and couldnt sleep from the light . So not happy
Lovely location great price would definitely stay again helpful staff

Disappointed
We appreciate that we may have not booked in on basific time scale, could do with night staff to cater for late arrivals. Did phone for assistance using mobile number available, but staff did not respond to our call, we had no alternative but to stay and sleep on the red sofa in lounge, felt uncomfortable with this outcome. No staff around early morning either.
Stained bedding and furnishings
Dirty glasses
Bathroom not cleaned
Window didn't shut properly and radiator didn't work so the room was freezing
Stains on walls and obvious water damage staining
Carpet and skirting board clearly been chewed by mice
Damage to bathroom door so had to slam it to close it properly
No breakfast despite this being included in the price
Ni wifi at all unless you ask for the password which only works if you are sat by the reception
Needs a complete revamp to the property as clearly old and deteriorating
If i could have had a refund and stayed elsewhere i would have
We booked our stay based on location, cost and with breakfast included. Breakfast was not included or discussed when we booked in, the morning receptionist dismissed me when I asked about breakfast and told me ‘breakfast is never included love’ I felt offended.
I caught my foot on a loose tile on the steps Of the hotel on my way out in the evening it was sharp and as it was dark and not very well at the entrance, I didn’t see it.
The room was clean enough but there was quite a lot of dust on the furniture. The taps ran brown water for a few minutes when we turned on the taps and there was a strong smell of cannabis from the adjoining rooms. After we departed we received a quite intamidating email to tell us we had to vacate our room or be charged, despite the fact we had left over an hour ago. We did receive an apology for this but after visiting another hotel down the prom and the price being £20 more for a much higher standard bed and breakfast we feel really disappointed and that our stay was misold to us.

Not told when checking in that breakfast needs to be booked by 5pm. So as didn’t check in till 6.30 pm. And no you can’t have any breakfast was the answer in the morning !!!!!!

When I arrived, I was not booked in. I needed to walk to another hotel and book in there as I was staying in a different hotel. Room cosy and clean. Bed was comfy.
Our room was a large sea view one. The bed was very comfortable and the general cleanliness of the room / bathroom was good. An enjoyable stay at the Elsinore.
The room was tired and on suite facility shower fitting much too low for an average height person to use. Also when booking it stated there was a bar that was unavailable and no access to food (breakfast facility). There was no heating on in the rooms and struggled to close bedroom window.
Good reasonably priced stay with spacious clean room with 2 huge beds. Staff were attentive, dining room not in use due to Covid reg so can not comment fully on service. What staff we met were polite and helpful. We would stay here again. It is in a fabulous location right near beach and all shops, bars and pier.
Perfect. Only issue was there’s no wifi in the rooms and the mobile signals inside the room are somehow also poor.

Not so welcome Inv check-in but good enough
Overall, everything was good except the check-in. They wanted to pay in cash because they supposedly had problems with the card machine, but when I told them I didn’t have enough cash, they managed to fix the cash machine. That issue wasn’t very welcoming at all.

It was horrible staff didn’t show us around you get handed a key and left to it having to find everything ourselves, no drinkable water in rooms bed was uncomfortable room you can hear everything even someone walking past the shower was probably the best part and even that was bad, you get stared at and judged and commented when leaving and coming back, over all rubbish hospitable was rubbish definitely won’t be staying again! Avoid at possible
