"Aussen hui, innen pfui! Wenn das überaus liebenswerte Personal nicht gewesen wäre, hätten wir uns ein anderes Hotel gesucht!!! Die Zimmer sind teilweise desolat, sie brauchen ALLE dringend eine Renovierung. Die Badezimmer sind in einem bedauerlichen Zustand und schon gas nicht zeitgrmäß. Mit dem Putzen haben sie es auch nicht so. Letzte Woche gab es schimmliges Brot zum Frühstück. Die Eigner haben weder am Haus noch am Komfort für die Gäste das geringste Interesse, aber fahren ein vergoldetes...

The Burlington Hotel

The Burlington Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel , a bit dated but very clean. Stayed in king size with sea view which was lovely. Light in bathroom didn’t work. Main lift was out of order and the other one is the tiniest lift I’ve ever seen! Would stay again comfy bed and very clean linen.Parking was easy and £6 per day is a good price."
