"The hotel has plenty of free parking which is a bonus. However, the rooms are in need of complete refurbishment. Furniture is dated and the bathrooms need complete modernisation. While disabled travellers are welcome. None of the rooms could be considered accessible due to all bathrooms having showers over the bath and it not being possible for some wheelchair users to use. A lot of the windows have blown and the heating needs updating. I have stayed here a number of times over the last few years, but nothing changes. However, on a positive, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is good value for money. "

"For the price of about £50/night with breakfast, this was excellent value. Good location by the historic dockyard and on a busy safe feeling street. I was given a recently refurbished bedroom but the corridor leading to it is being stripped and redecorated, I assume. It's a bit like staying in a Wardroom with lots of naval artefacts and evidently many RN guests. Pool area only had the v warm swimming pool open which was clean and quiet. Breakfast was basic. Good selection of cereals and basic hot items which were popular with others. Even better if: bedroom window was obscured from outside so you can open curtains and have privacy. Also, a better coffee and tea selection at breakfast would make a huge difference too. Notwithstanding this, I will return as it was a comfortable affordable choice, "

"Great stay and very well located."

"Breakfast was awful. Room was OK. I guess you get what you pay for, though I wouldn’t have eaten the breakfast if they’d paid me!"

"Rooms clean, plenty of room, food was reasonably priced and very nice, staff were friendly, furniture comfortable "

"Room was clean, but a little smelly after running the tap. Wardrobe was ridiculously small, like an armoir rather than a wardrobe. My dresses didn’t fit. Luckily radiator in bedroom was adjustable as it was very warm. Heaps of tea and coffee but we had to pop our fresh milk onto the windowsill outside as no fridge in room. Staff were excellent Slept well despite what appeared to be someone playing (badly) the last post on a cornet, down the hall."

"A great location and the house evokes a glamorous time with boating memorabilia in abundance, you feel the spitits ofa bygone era wantingvto speak. Lots of fine eating places nearby."

"We recently stayed at The Ocean View Hotel from 13th–15th February and unfortunately were very disappointed with our experience. We chose this hotel specifically because of the facilities advertised on the website, including a swimming pool, bar, coffee shop, evening dining, jazz club with cocktail bar, and the daily “Happy Hour” promotion. These amenities were a major factor in booking what we hoped would be a relaxing weekend break. However, on arrival—and throughout our stay—we discovered that the swimming pool, bar, coffee shop, and evening dining were all closed. There had been no prior notice of these closures on the website or in our booking confirmation email. To make matters more frustrating, there were posters displayed around the hotel advertising “Happy Hour” from 4–6pm daily, despite the bar not being open. Breakfast was also an additional charge, and while convenient, we found that far better quality and more reasonably priced breakfast options were available just a short walk away in the town centre. The lack of communication felt misleading, as the facilities advertised were simply not available. Had we known in advance, we would likely have chosen alternative accommodation. While the stay itself may suit guests who only require a room, (if you don’t mind a bed without a headboard), we feel the hotel should be transparent about which amenities are operational. Clear and accurate information would help manage expectations and avoid disappointment. "
