Room was fab, although it was floor floors down and no working lift. Did not appreciate fire alarm going off at 5.30am but cant be helped. Windows in room considering they were ground level on seafront have not been cleaned for years could do with bring cleaned.Checking in a nightmare very slow and upto an hour wait. Needs to be staggered maybe checkin times vary and do one floor at a time.

Door lock damaged. Bathroom door hanging off. Dust mites in the bad. Rude staff. Blocked sink. Paid for a room with a window but couldn’t see out of it for the dirt and grime. Never again. Stay away from this hotel. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful building.

Booked a twin sea view room, but on arrival told it was only a standard room as the choice on hotels.com is incorrect, and are only standard rooms. Told the room with sea views was two floors down and the lift was broken. I said that’s was no good as my mum suffered from severe copd. Given a disabled room, only given one pillow each. When I asked for another pillow informed no spare ones available in hotel given towels to use.no proper sink, no hot water. Spoke with agent for website who said as I paid with the hotel direct they could not offer me compensation, they contacted the hotel who agreed to change our room. Offered downstairs yet again declined as before. Offered executive room but at a charge to me declined. The whole experience from both sides hotel & website was disappointing, not very supportive. It was meant to be a relaxing break for my mum, the whole room experience was a total let down. I felt I got no support from both sides. One very disappointed customer.

Well was nervous booking, but we actually loved our couple of days stay. When booking in got a slight upgrade from two singles sea view to a family seaview(double and a single). The price we payed is what we usually pay at a Travelodge, to have a room with a lovely sea view in a magnificent building was great value. Second night after a lovely meal at an Italian restaurant nearby we returned to the hotel for a few drinks , we then went thru to the ballroom and watched an ABBA tribute act again adding to the amazing value. As you can guess we enjoyed our stay, and we will hopefully return sometime next year.

Small room but with a wonderful sea view. Room is clean and smells good. Very easy check in, staff are polite and helpful. 2 days and we did had a great time. When I saw majority of the negative reviews after I booked I cannot help but be anxious of what to expect when I get there. But no, everything went really well. The surrounding area specially the beach is clean. Sitting on different benches with beautiful seaview angles is really relaxing.

Was hotel of my life.
Rusty shower Toilet wouldnt flush so had to use shower as a toilet. Reported and was refused a room change. Bathroom door wouldnt shut when using toilet/shower. Wrong type of room to our booking. Broken/squeaky floor boards could hear when people walking around. Room not cleaned properly as waste paper(looked like blood) left on the floor. Old fashioned key the size of a ruler...had to take it out all day/night with us

The toilet smelt like raw sewage, we didn't feel safe enough to brush our teeth .TV didn't work, toilet was enclosed in a small gap in the wall that my slim partner could barely sit on let us woman with curvier behinds. We understand it's an old building so the inside wasn't great build wise but for the price it's just not worth it at all, the maintenance of the beautiful exterior just isn't even looked at in the interior. Plus such a huge hotel, no parking, we had to park a 15 minute walk away and carry our luggage. Only good thing we can say is at least it's close to the town centre. Also don't suggest drinking there, dirty glasses, doesn't taste like the pipes are clean, we thought we'd sit on the terrace for the view but we had people screaming around us, kids running into us, people throwing lit fags on the floor, watched one poor little girl step on it barefooted. The reception staff were lovely though, I'm sure they're used to a lot of abuse from guests because of the failings of management which is a shame because they were very helpful and kind - although the woman we spoke to on the phone was quite rude and abrupt and actually hung up on me after I asked where to park as she said hotel has no designated parking- but again she's probably used to plenty of abuse for things she can't control or do anything about

Sad and tired.
So very tired, even the staff looked tired and dishevelled. Room ok, breakfast awful. A once great hotel, (the architecture is amazing) now sad and unloved. Great views of the bay though.
