Tired hotel, terrible breakfast service

Stayed in room 111, large room and bathroom but looked out to a brick wall. Room was upstairs, across the corridor and back down some stairs! The was a dirty towel left at the side of the bed. Beds were comfortable and good shower. Breakfast was terrible! Went down around 9.30 and there was nothing left, I asked for more bacon and went back twice before it was replenished. No plates or cups left, very poor and disappointing. Nice large outdoor seating area overlooking the sea

Very Ropey Roker Hotel

I find it very difficult to understand how The Roker Hotel is rated as a 4 star Premium hotel. At best in relation to accommodation it's a 2 star. The room we had was very small with a very small bed. It looked dated and the carpet was terribly stained. The quality of furniture was very poor and storage was minimal. The bathroom was fine. My route from reception to my room was the worst I've ever experienced. No lift and 3 seperate flights of stair carrying a case and I'm 72 years of age. Nobody at reception warned me and my wife of the difficulty of the route or offered porter support to carry the cases. The staircase rails were dusty and the corridors justfelt and look unclean. Bar staff were very pleasant and the free drinks vouchers were welcome but overall this was very disappointing accommodation and although I visit Sunderland at 3 times a year I will not use this accommodation again.

Lovely hotel for a coastal break

Fabulous professional and helpful staff. Room was nice and clean and basically fine if nothing special. It was also lovely and quiet but it was uncomfortably hot and the small fan provided wasn’t really adequate. The breakfast was good with a plentiful supply of hot and cold items and fresh eggs cooked to order. We enjoyed an evening meal in the bistro which we found to be good value too. The hotel is in a beautiful location overlooking the seafront and very close to a gorgeous area of coast. We would certainly return.

Room was nothing like photos, starting to look a little tired. Corridor doors banging until late into night. Cold tap was luke warm weirdly and plumbing barking like a dog for 20 minutes after every use of a tap. Was given a free drink voucher in with paperwork on check in but never mentioned and only saw it after I had checked out.
