I stayed at the Wessex Hotel for a long weekend at the beginning of June. I was there to attend an event with all meals included. The hotel is one of those faded Victorian establishments which had its last round of renovations sometimes in the 70's (see photos). The lift is nothing more than a tarted up monte-charge which I...

The hotel itself was ok. Only stayed for a single night & the breakfast was good. The exterior is a little tired & do with redecorating but the interior is welcoming. As many older hotels, every floorboard seems to creak, so unless you are on the top floor there's a good chance of overnight disturbance with guest in the room... More

Stayed at the Wessex for a weekend break. The décor is a bit faded, but the hotel is spotless. The lounge and bar area was very pleasant to sit in, and the bar staff were very friendly. Our room was superb ( we treated ourselves to a premier room ). It was large and well appointed. The on- suite was... More

The breakfast especially was very good and obviously the restaurant was ran by staff who clearly knew what they were doing and i can honestly say it was the best... More

VERY outdated hotel. Staff was very friendly though and the breakfast was good. But the room looked like something from the 70ies and the bathroom was the same. The floors were so creaky everywhere that it was almost funny. We had paid £90 as a “highly reduced” rate, which I don’t understand and consider slightly expensive. We didn’t use any... More
