I went with two friends for Afternoon Tea. Firstly, the receptionist had to ask the other if they even did afternoon tea. Secondly, we were served our afternoon tea in the reception, rather than the bar or restaurant! There were plenty of staff, but nobody dining yet they couldn't manage to bring our tea with the sandwiches and pastries. We... more

I travelled down from London on Saturday to meet 2 friends for afternoon tea at the hotel. It was for a special occasion and I was very much looking forward to the experience. Two of us arrived at 1.30pm and went to reception to ask for afternoon tea. The first girl we met had no idea if you did it... more

Pros We booked blind via Expeadia for a 3 night long weekend.and were expecting the worst when we read previous reviews. Bathroom perfect, plenty of towels. Our room was clean, everything worked and parking on seafront nearby at £4 per 24 hours was good value. As we were on tight budget, skipped the £14.95 cooked hotel breakfast and had big... more

This hotel is way past it's best. We stayed for a wedding and wouldn't have stayed otherwise as we were a bit apprehensive due to other reviews here. You can immediately pick up the 'boutique' heritage from the dated looking decor but first impression is not bad. However, moving onto the room, stair and corridor carpets are badly stained, looks... more

So, down to Brighton with Mrs Argonault for a weekend away. Having spent a goodly part of the year staying at the Park Inn in Belfast I found I could put this stay on points (I’m not tight - the main reason for the visit was to find Mrs Argonault a nice ring to commemorate 20 years marriage – as... more

Stayed here for two nights with husband, room only. The room was clean and tidy; a missing light bulb and defunct extractor fan in the bathroom were reported to reeception. Lovely deep bath and plenty of towels. The staff were all very friendly and made us feel welcome. Car parking under the hotel was limited, but we did manage to... more

As this hotel seems to have a lot of bad press I thought it only fair to add my review. Stayed there at the weekend for 1 night. Booked through Expedia and paid £58. Hotel looks impressive from the outside at night and not too bad inside. When we checked in we got told we were being upgraded to a... more

Don't be distracted by the 4 star rating here. Although not the worst place we've ever stayed, the standard of the rooms and the service is certainly not worth the price tag. Upon arrival, we had to push very hard to change rooms because ‘people who book through last minute take what they’re given’ so not the ideal start! Our... more

Hilariously this hotel claims to be 4 star. After we'd discovered a bathroom covered in dust, tiles hanging on by threads of grout, stained carpets that looked like they'd been used to move a body, a room where over half the bulbs were blown, internet that didn't work, random dirty marks over the walls of our room, and the dirtiest... more
