I cannot believe Grand Tours UK are going to use this dump again for theire clientsagain next year!!!

The front of the place looks really delightful with the broken flower pots and the even more delightful metal thing containing peoples dog ends more so when they have been rained on.

Bathroom a joke - I have seen bigger cupboards no hot water and no shower.

Decor tatty & so out of date, lift needs a makeover.
Felt sorry for most of the staff , manager needs to go on a management course and learn to talk to the guests.

I work as a coach driver, and had to stay in this hostel twice now. Both times have been as bad as the first, and cant imagine the next time will be any better. SOME of the rooms are nice enough, but if you're not a private booking individual, you'll be in the same hutches as the rest of the rats. I've travelled a LOT in my career - but can honestly say this ranks among the worst ever. The place is quite literraly falling apart - from the crumbling masonry at the front, the subsidence, leaking roof, dodgy plumbing, erratic hot water supply, TCP sprinkled everywhere to mask the smell of damp and a lift that's as old as the hotle itself. Food is adequate in portion size, but every possible corner, every penny-pinching scheme has been used to bring it down from 'good' to 'you're actually serving this?!'... instant mash, cheap bread, stale rolls, thin custard. And the staff seem to take it in turns cooking - the porter is the waiter is the cook is the manager is the barman is the receptionist. Some guests said to me they thought it was great - others despised the place. I concluded that those in favour might just have far lower expectations and standards than is the norm in the year 2010 (its not 1910 after all). Make no mistake - this is one baaad hotel. You might leave thinking you've had a nice time - but in my experience, you'll be in the minority. If you're travelling independantly - keep driving, there are better places around for the same money, and given the fact that the owners have had this place for around 20 years, there's no excuse for letting it get as bad as it has, or standards slip as low as they have.

this hotel is very poor from walking in we was told to wait for 5mins till someone turned up only to be told your room is on the first or second floor.Room was very small with kettle and cups balanced on the bedside cabinet very dangerous while trying to make a brew,b,fast was a joke cornflakes or wheatabix was on offer the waiter was rude and smelt of Bo.All this for £80 which they take off your card before we checked out,is this legal?I will not be returning to this hotel untill it major work carried out.

Ideal location with an easy walk to the sea front, found a parking spot near the hotel no problem, clean, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast service was excellent.
