When booking this hotel make sure you ask for the refurbished rooms and view them first. I booked into the Durley Dean as I was attending our conference, and at first to be told that the room was not ready and that I had to return later to check in. After attending the first day of conference I was looking... More

Only one member of staff, a cleaner, showed any sense of good customer service. The remaining staff performed their duties with a degree of lethargy and disinterest. The room was tired and the temperature was tropical. A fan should have been available as the window did not provide adequate ventilation. The mattress should have been in the council tip and... More

Very friendly receptionist, a lovely welcome. Booked fairly last minute, arrived and had to park 5 to 10 minutes away. Car park tiny! Room was on th top floor, you can tell what's been refurbished by the crappy carpeting the higher up you go. Room was dated, scruffy and no good for those of us who are nearly 6ft tall!... More

Good location, some road noise as close to a traffic roundabout but no problem unless you are a very light sleeper. Single rooms on the small size but adequate (comfortable bed, flat screen tv, en-suite bathroom). Breakfast all self service which I like so no hanging around trying to attract the attention of a waiter/watress. Very good location for beach... More

I held a party at the Durley Dean last weekend. The function room (The Kennedy Suite) was super spacious, modern, bright and best of all it was private. It contains its own bar, spacious dance floor, toilets and there's a side room complete with flatscreen TV where the children could go and play, chill out or just watch TV -... More

We spent the long weekend at the Durley Dean Hotel in May and we had a fantastic time. The breakfast was good and the staff were helpful especially Mellisa.

The hotel is in the process of being upgraded and the new style rooms are OK and comfortable, but I wouldn't spend more than £50 on one. The staff are friendly and helpful, but I would avoid the dinning room, it is not cheap and the food is not great. There is a reason it is often empty. Overall I... More
