The bathroom was disgusting run down and very small. The breakfast was the size of a childs meal so we had to fill up on toast.... More

My husband and I got married at the Esplanade in September. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and many had beautiful views of the sea and pier. The dining room and lounge were just right for the meal, reception and disco. It's size made for a lovely, intimate wedding that we and the 60+ guests enjoyed greatly. The staff, especially Charli,... More

A two night stay at this hotel was bought for us a wedding gift through the Wowcher website. Even booking the hotel was a traumatic experience. The service we received on the phone should have been a warning. On arrival, we pulled into the ridiculous car park at the rear, and made our way through the dated corridors to the... More

Stayed in room 17, shower area very small, cold water, hardly any pressure, tho I must say they did change the shower head and it still made no difference. No shower mat no face towel and a hole in the ceiling. Felt more dirty when I stepped out because the dirty shower curtain clung to me. We were suppose to... More

The employees there were fine, helpful and accomodating as well as being friendly. The room was good as well - just the right size and very warm which... More
