    The room was very clean but looked a little tired, one curtain was hanging off and the bathroom mirror was old.

    Breakfast wasn't available but prior to arriving at the hotel I rang and was told I could order breakfast. A few cross wires. I personally think breakfast would be very welcome

    No bulb in x 2 lights, no milk for coffee, no bin in bathroom and only one packet of biscuits for 3 adults. Previous damp patch not painted and curtain pole part of missing. Was challenged about the price of the room on checkin which was a bit strange.

    Room was clean and comfortable, big bathroom, decent bar with food downstairs, good location a one minute walk from the beach.

    Bedding did have stains on which was a shame, the shower is pretty small and didn’t have any hot water at all.

    Great location, easy to get to the stadium of light. Comfortable and spacious room. Rather clean

    The checking in process was not as smooth as I would have liked. I had 2 toddlers and we had to wait in a busy bar until the staff had served drinks to all the customers before she would book me in. There were no cups or glasses in the rooms, which there should have been. If I'd been on my own I would have gone down to the bar and asked for some, but again with 2 toddlers it wasn't an easy task.

    Location was brilliant, The sea view was fantastic. The family room was large enough, the bathroom was clean.

    Very noisy road outside. No pillows then I found one in the cupboard and asked for a pillow case it never came . Floors were dirty. Only one small towel. There was sick on one of the chairs. I tried to get out in the morning and they had put down metal shutters with no instructions of how to get out . A real fire hazard! Patio door in my room leading to the main road would not lock. Absolutely terrible for a woman travelling on her own . I didn’t feel safe .

    The beds were a little outdated. But apart from that our stay was lovely.

    The location of The Queen Vic Hotel is perfect. Roker beach is opposite. And seaham is 15 mins away.

    There is no reception. Given a key card at the bar and told to go upstairs. Had to walk through a warren of stairs and corridors to find room. Huge gaping crack in ceiling and down the wall of bathroom- was worried the roof was going to come in. Curtains falling off and so thin they kept out no light so broad daylight in room from 5am. Awful mattress. Came back at night to find shutters down over the door and no lights on. Banged the shutters and no one answered. Phoned the hotel to get someone to let us in. It’s a weird set up. Loads of nice places along the front - this isn’t one of them.

    Great Location
