Weekend break by the sea.
Overall enjoyable place to spend a weekend & convenient for the beach. Very dog friendly & really helpful staff. Food & food service OK, but a bit hit & miss. No parking, so reliant on street or public car park. Accessibility an issue, as no lift & all rooms up flights of stairs. Some walk-in showers in most expensive rooms, but not accessible. We did have a lovely couple of days here, but a few things would make it better.

Welcome to Fawlty Towers
Parking 200 yards away from hotel. Stairway carpet old and dirty. Receptionist was slow. Tables and work surfaces in bar sticky Staff very pleasant but inexperienced. Valentine's night meal was a disaster. Valentines menu taken off the tables. The usual menu was offered. Both steak choices taken off. Lemon sole taken off Meatballs taken off Crab and prawn linguine taken off. Hummous and scallops ( starters) off Green beans off. Ran out of wine we were drinking. Hake was half cooked Potato was burnt Mussels were gritty and sandy and not eatable. Breaded prawns were cold and tasteless. I asked for coffee and brandy and the brandy had ice in it. Our room no 12 was fine nice sea views clean and tidy. Breakfast wasnt great. My 2 poached eggs on muffins were hard boiled. 😫 We refused to pay for our food in the evening as it was terrible. We paid for all drinks.

Luxury room
A beautiful refurbished room with a balcony and sea view. The bathroom was beautiful, provided toiletries and was incredibly clean and warm as was the bedroom. Coffee machine, water, clock radio, television and more. Unfortunately, I was only staying for 1 night.

Very impressed
Very impressed with our stay, the room well appointed and clean. Very comfy bed. But the biggest plus for us were the staff. They all went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. They made us feel like our stay really mattered to them. Thank you to all the staff at the Albion Hotel. We will definitely be booking with you again

The hotel is old but continues to maintain its charm. The rooms are spacious, some with spectacular sea views . Sadly there was a mix up with our booking and we didn’t get the superior room we’d asked for, hugely disappointing. We were reimbursed as we ended up in a standard room, thankfully this was still quite good. This is my third stay, rooms are clean, well equipped and staff always helpful and friendly. Breakfast choices are excellent too.

A grand hotel that has seen better days
The hotel is very much in need of refurbishment. The carpet in our room was worn and stained, the bath was coming away from the wall. It is to put it simply very tired! Having said that the staff were very apologetic for the fact that there was scaffolding against our window and gave its a discount. The breakfast is excellent
