I have recently stayed at the Arosa Guest House and can only describe it as shabby. The room itself was spacious, however it had dirty walls, chipped woodwork, a mouldy shower curtain, blinds that were completely ineffective in blocking out daylight. Towels were threadbare and the matress probably 20 years old. The sheets were old and tatty, and the duvet... More

My partner and i stayed here one night whilst house hunting. I found the staff very friendly, the room, whilst small, was very clean. The breakfast was great and the hotel is right across from the beach. It is a very short walk from all the amenities you should wish and the town centre is only 20 minutes walk away.... More

Everywhere was freshly decorated in restful colours and furnished very comfortably. The bed was a proper king size and for once my other half at 6'4" was... More

This guest house is well located on the sea front and has easy access to all amenities. My single room was rather small, but good enough for a few nights. I had no problem with the cleanliness of the room. The breakfast is well cooked but the dining room rather crowded and I wasn't impressed that I had to make... More
