“Small beds”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011 via mobile

Stayed here in room 16 - double bed was tiny could not move or turn. Also be warned Christmas disco on at the minute so won't be able to sleep until 12am, called reception at 11am and they said they would turn it down but nothing happened. 16 is right above disco. Nice night away though overall-clean and tidy. Won't stay there again mind but would stay at Dukes-nice bar and restaurant.

“Groupon Deal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We paid £69 with Groupon for two people (£122 otherwise)
The car park a few paces from the front door cost £10 for 24 hours
Nice well established family run hotel, all clean, and in an excellent location.
Good Welcome Groupon deal explained
We had an inland bedroom, double aspect, very comfortable, nice new TV and good ensuite
All the staff very pleasant and well trained.
We had an excellent dinner, the deal included fish and chips, (Torbay Cod) or lasagne meat or vegetarian, glass of beer or wine. The fish and chips were light and tasty.
Continental breakfast was more than enough with fruit, cereals, yogurts, toast.
A very good deal, but as with all UK hotels the full rate would have been too expensive.

“nice old world charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Very clean well presented old hotel. The rooms have obviously been modernised lately and mine was very nice, warm and comfortable, overlooking a very unwelcoming looking, November sea. breakfast and overall service excellent. would certainly visit again.

“Nice enough..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed in October on a groupon offer which was good enough value. The hotel rooms have been redecorated and all is nice and tidy. The staff were friendly and the included Fish and Chips were very good. The cooked breakfast for an extra fiver was not too special but all in all we had a pleasant one night break in sleepy Sidmouth..
