The Falcon Hotel  

We enjoyed our stay at the falcon hotel they made us very welcome they were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was cooked and presented well

Unfortunately the building is very old and it needs a lot of upgrading very draughty in the bedroom

Staff were pleasant and helpfull , breakfast was cooked and presented well

Unfortunately prior to our arrival the heating had broken down , arrangements were made to use a nearby spa complex paid for by the hotel.

The best thing about the Falcon is its location and price (though I had a special offer). It is basic and clean. The breakfast was good. Receptionist friendly.

No-one was there when I arrived to let me in, neither did they respond initially to my phoning the mobile number left on the door, so I was left unable to check in and sat outisde for about 15 minutes waiting. I went away and tried a couple of hours later and thankfully someone rang me back, but it was rather disconcerting to say the least. (Lady said she'd gone out to get provisions). It's a well worn hotel in need of refurbishment (eg windows and cills), as are so many in UK today. Felt the owners tried to make the best of it but probably lack funds. My room was not ensuite. Seagulls seemed to be active all through the night so ear plugs were useful - luckily I take mine everywhere! If you can cope with the above it's near the sea front and adequate.

Good basic accomadation. Good breakfast. Reasonable walking distance to Cricket Ground.

Its location

Dirty , flys everywhere, very small rooms, no toilets or showers in 2 of the rooms, and the 3rd room bathroom tiny.

Friendly and pleasant staff. Situated in a good area close to shops and beach.

Could be noisy at night due to close proximity of bar/club outside But this is not the hotels problem

Good value for money in a great location.Very pleasent and helpful lady on reception.

a little noisy but then it is in the town centre

The location of the Hotel was excellent for us,easy to walk to shops or beach or local entertainment.The room was clean.The breakfast was good,we would stay there again.

The hotel would benefit from an upgrade,ie double glazing,& it was a bit dated,but this did not detract from our overall stay.

Nothing

Hotel has seen better days and now needs freshening up, but that is unlikely to happen, the room we were allocated was 'a family room' god help the family that get that room Would definately not return to this hotel.

Staff very friendly and welcoming. As I had not used this site before, I rang the hotel a couple of days beforehand to confirm that my booking had been received. The person who answered found it immediately so they have an efficient booking system. Location good - very near sea, a restaurant next door.

Poor maintenance. In the bedroom sink the whole hot tap moved when turned on! Turning off either of the taps in the bathroom was a challenge. The glass shelf in the bathroom fell down. The bedside lamp didn't work. That was put right - the bulb just needed changing -but surely that should have been checked? Also, very little storage space. For two days this was not a problem, but it would be for a longer stay and more luggage.

Just got back from the Falcon;wheather was great,the hotel not so;we stayed in what they called a de-luxe room daren,t think what the other rooms were like!If you dont want any sleep coz of the seagulls day and night and noisy kids next door, then this is the place for you!Theres a pub right next door and its ideally placed for the town centre.,which was a good thing as the hotel bar and restaurant were closed,we weren,t made aware of this at the time of booking!However we enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel and never had to wait long.

Didnt feel very welcoming on arrival,didnt smell too clean,quite noisy at night,and no shower in the bathroom just a tap attachment on the bath,which you couldnt have had anyway coz it was a struggle to get hot water!Icame here for a rest and comfort after suffering an injury ,but got neither.

Location was excellent for all amenities. Staff were friendly, breakfast ok.

Room needed to be refurbished - only one electric socket worked, lights took ages to get to full power, window blind broken, tv didn't work properly (I mentioned this at time but it couldn't be fixed). Also, timing of breakfast was, for me, too late a start at 8.00am.
