    The rooms were a bit small, everything seemed a bit squashed in, would not have wanted to stay for a long time in it. Was fine for a night or two though as we weren’t in it very much.

    Position on sea front, parking a bit hit and miss but we were lucky. Breakfast delicious

    There is nothing to dislike about this Hotel

    The staff are amazing, they go above and beyond for there guests. When we arrived for our anniversary weekend they had put balloons and banners wishing us Happy Anniversary which was a lovely surprise. The breakfast are second to non very well presented and great quality. We will definately be returning again and again.

    The whole weekend experience was first class the receptionist was very informative and gave us a parking pass for the weekend. The breakfast was well cooked and tasty I had the vegetarian and my partner had a gluten free breakfast. Plenty of cereals and juice to choose from. The staff were very polite and welcoming. On the Saturday evening we had a guitarist who was brilliant and finished off our weekend perfect. We would not hesitate to go back again.

    Nothing! Hotel was full. Had a beautiful well appointed sea facing room. Very good bathroom with special bath. Sadly, for my wife, she could not climb into it and we were unable to change due to high occupancy. This is in no way a complaint just her disability.

    Staff were all happy. very helpful.

    Didn't realise we had the funfair /play park in front of our hotel when we chose to pay extra for a suite with balcony. Bright flashing lights were on late into the evening, so sadly had to close curtains early, when normally I prefer to leave them open to appreciate a sea view and any bay lights. Because of the funfair you could only really see the beach if standing close to the window looking to the left, shame. oh and mattress had quite a dip but I managed! Lovely, nicely decorated hotel so hate to leave these comments but it did ruin it for me sadly and would hate for others not to know before booking.

    Very clean hotel, lovely room, great breakfast, helpful friendly staff, pretty easy to park

    The restaurant is in the basement which makes it a bit dark for breakfast

    Very comfortable refurbished room with lovely view of the sand and sea. Having a carousel outside was not a nuisance and added to the holiday feeling!

    The food was superb. Needs a larger verity day to day. Not the same every day. Room 29 is large and spacious. The layout was to be desired.

    Could not fault the staff in any way. Excellent. What ever you needed now was fulfilled there and then. Cleanliness is foremost. Very happy. Nice

    There was a drop in fair in front of the hotel which compromised the view. As for the hotel itself, it was perfect.

    Exceptionally restored, perfectly placed hotel with great staff. Worth a visit if you're in Weymouth

    Superb hotel, can't believe only has 3 stars, definitely deserves more. Has great facilities and spotlessly clean in a great location. Staff were polite, professional, friendly and extremely accommodating. Great value for money and breakfast was lovely. I didn't take part in the activities offered but the guests that did seemed to really enjoy them. Can't recommend it enough, would absolutely stay again.
