Camelia Hotel  

.Available parking. Comfortable enough bed. Cooked breakfast, although scrambled egg a bit rubbery .

We stayed in room 28 and found the route from reception to it tortuous. We tried to have an early night, but it was ruined by banging doors and water-hammer in the water pipes at all hours. Had we known what was coming there was no way we would have booked . Our charge for providing this useful information is £30. The reason for the charge is that we are not making ab official complaint; just giving you an opportunity to make amends in more ways than one.

Although the room was small,it was clean,warm and comfortable and a reasonable price.There was ample car parking space. The staff were helpfull and friendly in the main. Breakfast was more than adequate in a pleasant dining area.

Not all the staff were friendly and customer focused.

The hotel was clean, nicely decorated and the staff friendly. Breakfast was excellent, not only was the food good, but I like the availability of a fruit salad plus a mixture of berries–excellent!

Unfortunately the bed was damaged in some way meaning we could not sleep well and in fact I spent most of the evening in the chair. The mattress looked clean and not too old, but the springs were clearly gone and with 2 in the bed if you lent to the side you fell out.–In fairness to the hotel they did not know about this and gave us a small discount ( I think a bigger discount should have been made but I had had enough and just wanted to go) and I have to say it was out of character with the rest of the hotel which left a good impression. I would recommend them if they have replaced the bed

We were very happy with the hotel. We were impressed with the dining room, very airy and spacious and the young waitress was very cheerful and friendly. The breakfasts were excellent although my husband was disappointed that the kippers were unavailable on the mornings of our stay. The bar area was very pleasant. Our room was in the annexe next door and was very comfortable and clean. The location was perfect for us as we were visiting friends in Thorpe Bay.

My only criticism would be that the sound proofing of the floor in the room above is poor. Each morning we were awoken about 6.30am by the guests above walking about. We were in room 24.

We were in town to attend a family funeral and my cousin and her husband were going to be staying at the Camelia (which they have done several time before) suggested that as they were staying - that we do the same. The receptionist was very helpful and friendly when we arrived. Breakfast was lovely. Thank you very much!

nice friendly atmosphere, reliably good each time.

there could have been more blankets on the bed

Friendly and helpful staff; nice sea views; parking on-site

We found the hotel very comfortable, staff very helpful and the breakfast was lovely. We would stay there again.

Friendly staff Excellent cleanliness and comfort Location Atmosphere Breakfast

There is nothing at all to dislike about the hotel

The rooms were very clean and well furnished. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful with any requests. Breakfast was nice. Would happily return to Camelia Hotel again.

Good room and breakfast , good wifi , close to restaurants.

Poor shower and noisy plumbing in annex room

Good location for our needs.

very hospitable and attentive to needs of customers; we had problem with hot water in the bath - it was promptly attended to and we were provided an alternate facility for shower.

Not suitable for family with more than one child - room size not big enough to accomodate 2 cots; hence should not be proposed to people for this purpose on the booking website
