If you just want somewhere to base yourself then it’s fine but if you want some comforts stay elsewhere. Great location though ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daniel 5 Aug 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Needs upgrading. Photos online are misleading. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bill 9 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities People talking outside room all night No security locks on windows. Curtains damaged. No sky tv Would never stay there again. ##### Bill Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bevan 13 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Regret booking to stay 10 - 13 March (3 x nights). Only very basic service provided each day and communication from the staff was difficult. The motel feels in many areas like it has not been upgraded since it was originally built in the 1970s. Carpet was also lifting in some areas presenting a trip risk / hazard. Request for at least 1 x night refund for my inconvenience / poor experience. ##### Bevan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn 28 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities My go to place while visiting my mother. Lots of space and able to prepare my own meals. Will be back. ##### Carolyn Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Diplomat OK Quiet and comfortable. Room a bit dated, but clean. No air-con in room, and it was very hot. However they provided us with a very good fan on request. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maureen 12 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We particlarly enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and the comfortable kingsize bed. Great shower too. We had chosen Dilomat for is proximity to Southern Eye Hospital so the above factors were definitely a bonus ##### maureen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Sounded like the neighbour was throwing cans at the wall! Is this an emergency hosing facility??? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location and a great price. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Apr 2021 Liked: Staff & service, amenities The property is in a good location and the hosts were welcoming and pleasant. The apartment we stayed in needs some TLC and could have been cleaned more throughly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrea 10 Apr 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointing The motel room was very dated and was dark and dingy. The room appeared not to have been cleaned for a long time. There was a large spider web on the window in one room, food in the cutlery draw and thick dust all over the surfaces. The window in the main bedroom did not close. The bathroom needs to be renovated. A good clean and update to the bathroom would improve this accomodation. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 5 Apr 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unfortunately we left early. We couldn't stay our whole trip. Although the staff were lovely. The rooms weren't up to expectations. There was mould in the shower, no kids area they could actually play in. The double bed was 2single beds pushed together that kept separating through the night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Ampersand Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Ampersand-Hotel.h4944634.Hotel-Information) > > [Lamphouse By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Lamphouse-Hotel.h5617760.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Christchurch.h18147427.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Costa del Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Del-Sol-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d11102-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The George Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-George-Christchurch.h16116.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Ibis-Christchurch.h1641197.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Attica21 Barcelona Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Attica-21-Barcelona-Mar.h3505214.Hotel-Information) > > [Middle Eight - Covent Garden - Preferred Hotels and Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Middle-Eight-Covent-Garden-Preferred-Hotels-And-Resorts.h60280897.Hotel-Information) > > [Preskil Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahebourg-Hotels-Preskil-Island-Resort.h36762255.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge at Meyrick Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Meyrick-Park.h46066788.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Novotel-Christchurch-Cathedral-Square.h2759152.Hotel-Information) > > [George Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-George-Street-Hotel.h18913127.Hotel-Information) > > [Southwark Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Southwark-Hotel-Apartments.h5666932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Eleftheria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Villa-Eleftheria.h34553879.Hotel-Information) > > [Plas Hyfryd Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Narberth-Hotels-Plas-Hyfryd-Hotel.h3537867.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Nottingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d7577--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Torcross](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Torcross-Hotels.s50-0-d3000394019.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [JAZ Makadi Saraya Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makadi-Bay-Hotels-Jaz-Makadi-Saraya-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1400412.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Chateau-On-The-Park-Christchurch.h19345.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Magdalena Plaza Sevilla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h65460188.Hotel-Information) > > [Sudima Christchurch Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Sudima-Christchurch-Airport.h889383.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Banff Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff.d10550.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Sperlonga Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sperlonga.d6035036.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
