Quirky and interesting decor. We had the apartment, very well equipped with expensive fittings and a great sea view Inconsistencies, our daughter's room had a water cooler but no kettle, reception and bar look shabby, and unfinished look. Even our luxury room had a vacuum cleaner and mattress parked in the living room, and exposed wires in a wall socket

The position is great, the staff are friendly and while the facities are elderly and basic, it is clean, and the price is right for what you get. The guest lounges on either side of reception looked like a building site (while it wasn't obviously beong renovated (though it sorely needs it) with bags and things lying around making them unusable for guests. I found this a little strange....

Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Clean and tidy room. Nice and warm and cosy room. Beautyful seaview. Bubble bath. Bidé. Television, and cold water bottles. Romantic bed with hanging drapery. Third floor, no lift. Too small wardrobes. Squeaky,noisy bed while doing you know what. The safe in wardrobe could not use, though we did not bother to ask. Difficulties to know which side of the tap of water was warm or cold. In the basin the warm was to the left in the shower to the right. Hard to get the mixture right. The temperature in the bathroom was much colder than in the bedroom, wich was a bit awkward in the morning.

It is idealy situated for my interest of maritime photography. Apart from Felixstowe, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth are not too far and both are bases for the offshore industry.

I loved that place: beautyful town and location by the seefront, very nice stuff and lovely decoration - TOP, very fresh breakfast in high quality - very special british, if You like that for a good price - I will come back. Easy free parking too. When You don´t like it the english way, it is perhaps not perfectly clean - but it is a very old charming building - so stay abroad ore yust enjoy this.

Nothing - except the food was good. The food was very good and the lady who looked after the desk was excellent. The room and bed was clean. The single room was about the worst decorated room I have ever had the misfortune to stay in. A power point was hanging out of the wall, and the shower hot/cold had seized up and I scolded myself as it only had one position - hot.. The food was very good and the lady who looked after the desk was excellent.

Everything - shabby, cramped, flighty carpet, terrible bed, terrible bathroom, expensive with no breakfast. A far superior hotel closely, where we had dinner, was £57 for 2 including breakfast.

Het hotel ligt aan de kust met uitzicht op zee. Bediening is uiterst vriendelijk. Een perfecte plek voor als je niet te kieskeurig bent en het nieuwste van het nieuwste wilt behalve een redelijke, eerlijke prijs. De kamers zijn niet de modernste in zijn soort maar schoon en netjes. De ramen zijn modern van kunststof maar tochtten op de een of andere manier behoorlijk.

Het hotel had een van onze kamers overboekt, we werden overgeboekt naar naastgelegen appartementen. Deze waren nog niet geheel af, her en der nog wat draden uit de muur en plafonds, maar waren wel redelijk goed ingericht. Luxe badkamer en keuken, aardige huiskamer, goede bedden. Wel behoorlijk gehorig, om 5 uur s-morgens ging de wekker van de benendenburen, daar werden wij ook wakker van... De receptie is 4x niets, de pub en het restaurant waren eenvoudig. Het eten was prima. Het hotel, wij zijn dus niet op de kamers geweest, geeft goedkope en rommelige indruk. Prima voor een nachtje maar dat was het dan ook wel.

Leider hat mir in diesem Hotel gar nichts gefallen. Es machte einen heruntergekommen Eindruck. Es wurde mir bei meiner Ankunft erklärt das das Hotel überbucht sei. Das Zimmer ( ca. 3Qm groß) war in einem erbärmlichen Zustand. Das Bett, welches quer vor dem nicht zu öffnenden Fenster fest eingebaut war, war mit geschätzten 1,80 m Länge, viel zu kurz. Das Zimmer war, da das Fenster nicht zu öffnen war viel zu warm und die Luft stand förmlich darin.

Klein, einfach aber okay. Das Hotel war bereit sehr kurzfristig um einen Tag umzubuchen, und dies ohne Mehrkosten! Würden es wieder buchen für ein oder zwei Nächte; nicht aber für Ferien. Das Restaurant ist mehr ein Pub, deswegen aber nicht negativ.

Het was echt zo'n oud engels hotel. Maar de kamer die we hadden was perfect met grote badkamer en een prachtig uitzicht op het kanaal en de boulevard. Vriendelijk personeel. Bovendien was het maar een paar minuten rijden naar de veerboot, de volgende dag gingen we weer terug naar Nederland. Verder kunnen we niet veel vertellen, want we hebben er maar één nacht geslapen.

I liked nothing about it. How others can give it a good rating is beyond me. A bed, not cheap, with dirty linen, both hairs and stains. A floor un cleaned, but difficult to spot on a carpet that was worse. All just appalling.
