The receptionist was very helpful as our checkin was not until 3pm, but we had a family funeral to attend, completed check in even though room not ready. Meaning we could attend funeral and celebration of life at yacht club, walk up get bag out of car go to room.

A well positioned seaside hotel with a good vibe.
Our second stay here, good welcoming service. Had some lovely food in the tea room and enjoyed some small plates in the main bar. Hotel has a nice ambience in the public areas. Bit disappointed with the range of food now offered. Not as good as last year on daytime and evening menus but everything we ordered was tasty and well prepared. A few delays on cooked breakfast item availability on the second of our two days stay. A small inconvenience but still an inconvenience. I'd urge staff to ensure items are available throughout the breakfast service.

Stayed here plenty of times in the past with work, room wasn't as nice as other which i can live with, still get the free drink which is a good touch. I was there for 2 nights and only noticed once i got back the 2nd night that my room wasn't serviced, can live with the bed not being made, but no tea and coffee replaced or loo roll.

Perfect small break
Amazing night . You could easily spend more than one night here . Very self contained . We didn’t even bother to eat in the restaurant the room was so large and comfortable. We opted for room service which again was to a high standard.

Our room looked nothing like the room we thought getting & nothing like the pictures we were shown. We were put in a upstairs room that we had to climb stairs too. Kettle station was there but no plug socket had to get on my knees to move it by the bed. Whole room was on a slope so wardrobe doors constantly fell open. 1 bath towel between 2 for 2 days . Bed so low was difficult getting in & up.

The Roker Hotel is is our favourite hotel in Sunderland and it's the one me and my partner keep coming back too each year. It has a prime location by the sea and it's easy to get out to Durham, Newcastle or the surrounding area. The beach is just a short walk away, and has some lovely coffee spots and restaurants on it. The Stadium of Light is also in walking distance if you are vising to see Sunderland play. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The on-site bar is also really good!

Bad checkin but niceish hotel
Check in took a long time. The website offers free room upgrades when available but we were told this wasn’t true. We then had to argue that this was what was advertised and we weren’t willing to pay the money to upgrade if it was advertised as free. This was embarrassing and we had to wait 20 minutes and show the wording on the booking for the receptionist to speak to his manager and confirm that we were right and give us the upgrade. The computers then crashed and we had to wait again for this. Completely not the receptionists fault but hotels fault. He couldn’t apologise enough for the inconvenience of the long wait but in the stress of the situation forgot to give us vouchers for drinks and explain about bar tabs etc. which were explained later. Website advertises multiple restaurants including an Italian, which is amazing but not actually affiliated with the hotel and the receptionist tried to convince us to use their restaurant instead. Weird. Italian was 10/10 and would definitely recommend. Bed in the room was very low. Anyone with nobility issues would not be able to get up and down off the bed. Room as spacious and furniture okay but signs of wear/damage on furniture and bedding. Carpet was lumpy and a trip hazard between the bathroom and the bedroom. Plastic cups rather than glasses which was again a bit unusual. Poetic license bar was nice, barmaid friendly and helpful and there was a good choice of drinks available. Comfy seats and a good view.
