      Needs a Facelift”

      The location was good with it's own parking which is a blessing and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. The drawback is that it needs some investment to tackle the tired and faded décor and to repair the absolutely horrendous noise from the floorboards everywhere in the building. It did not matter if it was in the corridor, the rooms above, below or at the side anyone walking or moving created the loudest creaking sounds I have ever heard. It must have been good in its day but I could not in all honestly recommend it now.

      Weekend trip”

      Overall the trip was great, The hotel was in a decent location and the beach was only 20mins walk away, The swimming was amazing, it could have been a bit warmer but it was fine after going inside the water. The only issues we had was that the room was hot during the night and the other issue was that when we first arrived we got greeted by some sort of manager lady and she seemed to come across very grumpy, unwelcoming and not super friendly and at times it felt like we were interrupting her from her work. Apart from that everything else was great.

      1 STAR HOTEL AT BEST”

      Upon arrival I could see that the exterior of the hotel was in need of a complete overhaul including the windows. The front desk was not very inviting although the lady was knowledgeable and friendly. I booked a large room with large bed but got 12 x12 room with a standard size bed which had a television slightly bigger than my mobile phone. The bathroom was presentable but the shower water came out slower than when I go to the toilet ! But the worst was to come. After a while sitting on the bed I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye and to my discust their was BEDBUGS starting to appear in different sizes from the pillows and the sheets. When I shot out of there to reception and told the lady about the situation she was so blasé about it I could not believe her undisputed reaction. I was offered another room which I obviously checked the bed first and found the mattress threadbare with holes in it. If I had not had a couple of drinks that night I would of driven home but unfortunately I had a restlessness night with approximately 3 hours sleep scratching and itching all night. I paid for breakfast but there was no way I was going to eat anything that I thought was inline with this terrible hotel that could of caused me ill health..perhaps ! I WAS NOT OFFERED ANY REFUND OR ANY ATTEMPT OF A DISCOUNT for the worst night in any hotel stay in my lifetime. Hence to say I will NEVER stay in this overstared ( 3 ! ) hotel again and I suggest anyone thinking of doing so does at there own risk.

      I tend to stay in hotels based on 3 criteria- location, car parking and price. Elstead gets good reviews which I always read before booking. The receptionist couldn't have been friendlier and more welcoming. The heating could be adjusted on the radiator and was constant (some hotels switch the heating off at night, but I struggle with the cold). Yes, the wallpaper is a bit dated in the room but as others say, it's clean and comfortable and perhaps adds some character. It was extremely quiet all night, and thr only noise was from me on creaky floorboards (again not a criticism as it fitted with the setting). So thumbs up from me 👍

      Stayed 1 night in December 2021

      Exceptional”

      직원 분들이 친절하고 코로나 방역에 철저한 느낌이라 안전한 느낌을 받을 수 있었습니다. 낡았다는 느낌이 있지만 방은 아늑해서 좋았어요. 그리고 본머스 스테이션이랑 가까워서 좋아요
