All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We have stayed here before and again got a family room for 3 nights. This one was better than the last one. We did not stay here for breakfast and went to Morrisons instead. There is limited parking at the hotel and overnight parking on the roads available. Ok if you’re off out for the day, they supply towels and a little bar of soap each. You need to supply shampoo etc. very friendly staff
Comfortable room near beach and own free car parking facilities I am happy with my choice of Hotel booked. In the evening I relaxed with live music at cosy bar.
Clean and comfortable, it made us feel at home even if only for one night. Many thanks to the gentleman at the reception who, despite being tired, kindly waited for us until the very last moment late at night to check us in.
Positives:
good value for money
location
tasty breakfast
amazing water pressure
room stayed cool during the heatwave
had a lovely view from my bedroom window
Negatives:
uncomfortable squeaky bed
dated
Can do so, so much better with very little effort.
The male receptionist was lovely, very kind and friendly. The hotel was very, very disappointing. I have stayed in Youth Hostels that really put the Medehamstede to shame. I absolutely hat writing bad reviews because i always worry about the staff and their jobs. And as I have mentioned the receptionist / concierge was wonderful. Why on earth has the hotel not at least been painted on the outside? Why are there so many crappy fire doors - just paint them white and you will improve the appearance by 100%. There is absolutely no love shown by the owners in this hotel, and it is such a shame as it could be a real gem if it was just given a few days of cosmetic love.
Cannot speak highly enough about this hotel, it may not look as grands as some but that is made up for by the friendly and helpful staff, the quality of the food and the general good feeling you get staying there
Poor quality of the room, smell not good (old odour)

Nice and friendly.
Nice hotel with friendly staff and good service. Maybe the exterior could do with a lick of paint, but overall I had no problems and would definately recommend.
It was a comfortable stay however the bed had wheels and it was moving a lot. Thw wifi is terribly slow and weak from the rooms.
We stayed for one night, other than, it was a comfortable stay
For somewhere to lay your head and not worry about the state of the room its ideal, the pillows were great. Unfortunately thats the positives. Was greeted by a rude man when checking in as i asked about the parking as there was only a few spaces and was full, instead of apologising and stating its limited he was very rude to me about it which i wasnt expecting and was only asking. So after walking quite some distance with a 5 year old and all our bags after finding a space on the road which i had to move by 10am the next day we arrived to a very dirty room. I made the mistake of moving the bed up against a wall to barrier for my child and there was medication in tablet form and other random stuff under there aswell as about 5 years of dust. The skirtings have never been cleaned and the grout etc was disgusting. The bathroom and decor was extremely run down and only a soap bar for the sink provided no toiletries for a shower so im glad i took my own luckily. There was a tiny window which opened half way and in 30 degree heat in the day and 22 at night it was unbearable. Upon checking out as our room was via the resturant we had to negociate people eating and moving around with all our luggage in tow and via many stairs.
