Dinner menu was a bit limited and my curry was not nice. Looks or taste. The room was very clean but tired and dated. Fabulous view though.

Room fine a really nice big comfortable bed and pillows. Nice touch to have a bottle of still water in the room. The bathroom was okay, good shower but decor a bit worn Breakfast very good with a nice selection and quality product and service. Parking very limited though.

Short stay

The room was quite warm and the door was sticking on opening and couldn’t be closed without slamming. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent.
Stephen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room comfortable and well furnished. Didn’t like the rather heavy duvet - like trying to sleep under a rug. Good cooked breakfast: hard-working staff run off their feet so waiting inevitable. They were helpful and welcoming.
Denys, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room looked out on to scaffolding which we were not happy about, also the TV kept loosing the signal, I went down to ask if there was another room and straight away I was found the choice of two other rooms which were more to our liking, The staff in the bar and restaurant were really friendly and very good at their jobs, over all we had a very nice stay.
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were very helpful. The property definitely needs painting on the outside. Inside was ok.
Karen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel needs some attention

The staff we dealt with were all lovely, but the building itself is tired and run down. Our bathroom was particularly grim - grouting gone brown, and awful bath grips that were not only horribly stained but very painful to sit on!

The stairs to 2nd floor rooms are a bit confusing but other than that all was good Excellent breakfast served a very nice and capable young lady called Amy. Jack who booked us in was also very professional

Nicer on the inside than the outside. Just across the street from the beach. The room, and bathroom are on the small side, but clean and fresh. Good breakfast included and free parking.
Pam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a nice stay , the hotel is in a great location but is very tired on the outside, it is an old property and seaside hotels can be a bit weather beaten, we did ask to be moved to a seaside view but moved back to our original room as the new room with a view had a lot of damp in it and not as nicely decorated so not worth the extra £60 a night they wanted to charge us!! Also bear in mind that the seagulls are very noisy especially at 5 30am when the fishing boats come in to the beach outside the hotel
tony, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and the sea view room we had was lovely with high ceiling and huge windows. The room-darkening curtains kept us cool in spite of the heatwave and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even our dog was made to feel welcome in the dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.
Andrea, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing accommodation, but helpful staff.

I booked 2 rooms for single occupancy, for myself and a friend. I was aware that these expensive rooms were not sea facing, however they were both very disappointing, especially mine which had a tiny bathroom with no natural light. The rooms were VERY basic, with only one ceiling spotlight and 2 bedside wall lights. I had to request a separate table lamp, however there was nowhere to plug it in! There were only 2 sockets in the room, one with the tv plugged in. The receptionist found an additional one under the desk/table, but half covered by furniture and totally inaccessible for me. The TV was positioned on the only useable flat surface in the room. and was small, old and totally inappropriate for the cost of the room. My friend's tv was at least mounted on the wall. Both rooms were totally dated and although scrupulously clean, they were not a comfortable environment to spend any time in. I have a slight mobility problem, so contacted the Hotel prior to our visit and was told that there was a lift and a few steps to navigate, which seemed acceptable. However, their 'new' lift system is laboriously slow and complicated and I then had to negotiate steps up and down, to access our rooms. It was a 'marathon' every time we went up to our rooms and then down again. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Overall, this hotel is overpriced and although the communal areas have been given a facelift, the rooms need rewiring and updating. A lick of paint has not been sufficient.

I'd have liked a grab rail on the wall of the shower/bath since as an old person fear of falling is a constant worry.

Perfect location in Aldeburgh

Fantastic seafront location, the hotel is a slight maze of stairs and corridors, but there is a lift. Our room was a good size, comfortable, quiet and very clean. Good restaurant and bar with friendly staff. We will return.

Excellent hotel. Friendly efficient and the hotel is clean and quiet. Had dinner here last night and the food is first class, fresh and tasty. Highly recommended
