The Ellesmere  

Large comfortable bedroom with easy chairs, very clean and modern bathroom with large mirror and shelf.

Breakfast was great. Hotel was close to the end of the South Downs Way

Nothing although it is handy for theatres, WinterGarden,promenade and not too far from centre of town

Building and contents shabby. No staff and the lady whom we saw was very unfriendly. Room on the top floor was very hot unless windows were open and then very noisy.The room was small with poor lighting. There was however a television,kettle biscuits etc. Previous reports raved about the breakfast and the friendly owners.They were absent and the breakfast was adequate. The young lady who saw us when we arrived,laid out the breakfast and took my money was very pretty but ignored all guests at breakfast and was not at all pleasant.

2 single beds pushed together for booked double room, No information given about parking outside hotel turns out you cant without geting a ticket, simple notice in reception would inform you or say dont park there,

The relaxing atmosphere

Location

It was Ok for a conference. Room was a twin but would have been exceedingly tiny for 2 people. Shower was a nightmare either becoming so hot a burn was a distnpinst possibly or freezing cold all with no warning! I had booked a room only as it was last room available but was very surprised when arriving at the hotel to be hold breakfast wasn't available to order as they didn't have enough covers!! The worst carpet in the tiny ensuite!

Close to sea front. Friendly welcome by owner. Breakfast room was pleasant with choice of Cereal, Yogurt, and Full English Buffet Breakfast.

The room we were given was too small just the width of the area above the entrance hall. Other rooms were probably bigger but we were probably given this small room as we were only staying one night and the rest of the hotel was full.

Just ideal for our theatre trip

The hotel was good for the money we paid, however if we had paid an extra £5 at another hotel 5 mins down the road we would have had a much better stay. The bed were extremely uncomfortable, the hair dryer didn't work, the bathroom was lovely and the whole room was very clean and very warm which is what you like on a cold winters evening! Overall 5/10 could do with a lot of improvements. The staff were fantastic 100% for customer service.

Very quiet. Clean room.

No service. Bed like a rock.

Breakfast was lovely. Staff very helpful.

It could do with updating....very old fashioned.

Location good, breakfast very good, room clean and newly decorated
