When you arrive at this hotel you are treated by a very grand facade, for a bygone era. Unfortunately the rest of the hotel looks like it has not received any attention since it namesake was on the throne. It was dated, dirty and tired. The revolving doors made it nearly impossible to enter with suitcases, and no one bothered... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights over the bank holiday weekend. When we arrived we were fortunate enough to be able to park in one of the hotels few parking spaces at the front of the building. Checking in could have been an issue as they had us down to arrive a day later than we were under... More

Was staying nearby and ion a cold wet night (and on the strength of good reports form someone) we opted for the 2 course 'special' in the dining room. I think the special is the throwback to the 80s all round Tired carpets and over heavy curtains that blocked a great sea view-the best part of the evening. FIrst alarm... More

The entrance hall and stairwell smelled like stale smoke and there was a squashed cigarette butt on the carpet. Upon entry to the dining room we were seated at a table with dirty, unpolished and missing cutlery and glassware. For the 1st course we all ordered pate and it took 45 mins to arrive and others were served before us.... More

I think this place is really good providing you're not expecting a 5 Star city hotel. Yes it's a bit run down but aren't most large seaside hotels nowadays? I've stayed here a few times & it's certainly my favourite in the area. The rooms are large & clean. Some are quirky & set over two floors. Both the restaurant... More

Booked by a relative as part of block booking for people attending a family funeral. Beautiful sea front location and a once grand facade. The whole place is dated and tired, some areas very shabby indeed. Staff friendly and helpful, service in the bar was very slow and barmaid was not too pleasant! The room 406 no sea view, was...

We were more than happy with our room (306) it was very spacious & very clean & furnishings were of good quality. We booked this room for an over night stay only but could easily recommend this for a longer stay.
