Could really do with some repairs and more attention to detail on the cleanliness. Noisy bed frames, creaky floorboards, a horrible damp smell, broken shower door handle, really old and damaged shower head, cracks on walls and the bathroom floor was lifting up. Staff was attentive and the location was ok, but overall not a great stay.

The property was of a poor standard for the cost of the room. No washing products were in the bathroom. The toilet flush was broken. The window vibrated when you moved in the room.

If you are expecting the Ritz, well this isn't, however, at the prices it never could be. A very tired property. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep.

Gosh. Crumbling frontage held up with scaffolding. Breakfast only served at weekends but given the grubby state of the staff and the hotel, i wouldn't risk it. Shower and sink so full of black mould i left unwashed. Dreadful place.

Lovely 5 night stay

I stayed in a basic room which was more than adequate. The bed was super comfy. There was also plenty of tea and coffee. The room was nice and clean. I would definitely return.

Beautiful.

The 1876 property was in wonderful shape, the room had lots of channels on TV, and the staff was friendly and informative. And it was only a short walk to the seaside. My stop in St'. Leonard's!

A tired hotel in need of a complete decoration.

The hotel is dated and in desperate need of decoration. The bedroom floor was wood flooring which looked dirty and created a cold room. The shower handles were coming away from the wall. I did sleep well and the service I did receive was good.
