Cavendish Hotel

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good hotel, ideal location near the pier and overlooking the sea, although not all rooms have a sea view. Room was a good size as was the bathroom. The car park worked for us but it is not monitored for security. We didn't eat in the hotel as there are many alternatives in Terminus road a short stroll away. Staff were helpful and efficient."

"We have previously stayed in a “Grand“ Hotel in a location that is beyond its glory days. This hotel has none of the feeling of decay that others have had. It was delightful and well maintained, still having a feeling of grandeur. It was truly a delightful surprise."

"Great service from the reception staff. The rooms were very clean and surprisingly large. It was nice to have the sea view. The only downside for us was the lack of parking nearby. It was very hit and miss on getting a spot near the hotel and with a disabled traveller in our group we needed this. If you don't mind the parking issue then this is a great value for money place to stay."

East Beach Hotel

East Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"I stayed one night in a double room on the second floor with partial sea view. It was a nice room which had a lovely view of the pier. Two armchairs in the window made my stay extra comfortable. The room was warm and cosy, and the bed was ok- not as comfy as mine though. Having a fridge was a bonus. The bathroom was pristine and the sheets were clean. Basic provisions were included- tea, coffee, milk and sugar plus soap and hand cream in the bathroom. The only downside was the unpleasant drains smell in the bathroom which I didn’t mention as I was only there for a short time. I didn’t use the lounge or bar but they did look inviting. Can’t comment on the breakfast as I didn’t partake. I couldn’t get on the WiFi that evening which was frustrating but I had greater success later that night. The lady on reception at check in was friendly and helpful. She said I could leave my case after checkout. The hotel is in a perfect location, on the seafront near the pier and close to the town centre amenities. I was worried after reading some of the reviews but my stay proved to be most enjoyable."
