I had booked this hotel via 'The Trainline', which said the hotel was pre-paid. On arrival there was no reservation and the booking was not prepaid. Anyway I was given 'Basil's Room', which was a large room on the ground floor with a very comfortable double bed. The room also had a single bed and a double bunk. The English... More

We were apprehensive about our visit to Fawlty Towers, after reading some reviews. However we had no need to worry. Yes, the rooms are basic. Yes, it could do with a bit of upgrading, and I would assume, a price rise to go with it. I have stayed in hostels that are dearer, having to share facilities and having little... More

Yes it's basic and a bit odd but it's £18 a night ! It's bang on the sea front , ideal for lads nights out , we didn't try the breakfast as we feared the kitchen hygiene but amazingly it was included ! If you want a crash pad then here it is

This was booked for a colleague and he has said it was the worst B&B he has ever stayed in. Now I have stayed in the B&B he uses in Blackpool, which I consider a s**thole, so for him to say this about Fawlty Towers means it must be pretty bad. He even considered sleeping in the van as the... More

As the review said newly decorated I was disappointed the lady who greeted us didn't give us much info and there was an awful smell as soon as she opened the front door. Our room was on the ground floor and was shocking. The mattress was too small for the "home made" bed which looked like pieces of wood nailed... More

Before i start i just want to say that we were not expecting anything fancy for just £36 pound a night for 2 of us, but there is a huge difference between old and tatty and unclean and unsafe! On arrival we were greeted by a young girl who barely spoke a word, and shown to our room...trapsing up the... More

On our first night in the UK we stayed at Fawlty Towers in Great Yarmouth. Our kids love the TV show and it just seemed like a quirky and fun way to start our tour of Great Britain. We stayed in the family room on the ground floor (Basil the Rat room as I recall). It was fine for the... More

We spent 2 nights here in August. What a mistake. Never again. Rooms grubby. Staff grubby. £58 per night ..... expected better, a lot better. Double bed! Only just. Shower room did'nt even have a shelf for a toothbrush. Could go on but won't. You get the picture.

This was probably the worst place that I have stayed at ever. The room was so dusty that my daughter's eye's were stinging and I had an allergic reaction. I could feel the dirt on the sheets, and wish I had slept in the car instead. The carpets were filthy and we ate our breakfast on a pool table! The... More
