A poor visit

At check in the hotel had booked me as one person when in fact there were 2 of us. A lot of clicking on the computer from the receptionist and we were passed the room key and directed upstairs. The room was ok. It was a family room with 2 doors both with Yale licks. One of the Yale locks was broken as in it can’t be locked from the inside which made me feel uneasy. The king size bed was 2 single mattresses stitched together so with the middle seam it wasn’t very comfortable. The radiator was tiny considering the size of the room but also wasn’t working so we were freezing cold for a few hours until they sorted it by bringing 2 portable heaters. On pointing out the broken radiator, (around 5pm) the receptionist initially told me the heating only comes on at certain times of the day! This particular day was a very cold March day and bear in mind the hotel is on the seafront! The manager brought us portable radiators around 7pm. The room then heated nicely. We were in bed ready for lights out around 9pm when there were some knocks on the door…the plumber turned up to fix the radiator. He managed to turn it on with a pair of pliers but it then had to be on full blast. Luckily we’d been that cold that the heat was a welcome relief.Once settled, we were woken around 11pm until 1pm by children running around the corridors and outside across the metal fire escape right outside our windows. A poor visit overall.

Poor stay

This hotel has had its day and so has the receptionist who was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Really run down - room not clean - wouldn't use the bathroom - glad I didn't as there was no hot water which apparently is usual

Lovely stay!

Lovely large room! With a jacuzzi bath, just a shame the jets didn’t work. We were staying to scatter friends ashes so didn’t spend much time in the room. Bed was comfortable and large, room was clean and tidy. Plus we had a wonderful sea view!

Lovely hotel in a stunning location

The hotel is in a beautiful location on the seafront and we saw a spectacular sunset. Our room was very clean and felt comfortable and luxurious. We loved being able to sit and look at the sea out of the bay window while we had our morning coffee. The reception staff were lovely. The lady at the desk on Sunday afternoon when we arrived made us feel very welcome and at-home. We love the magnificent old building with its original features. We're already planning another visit and hope to try out the spa facilities and the breakfasts next time.

Very disappointing

Originally given a dreadful room supposedly for 3 people with a window i think which measured 18'x18' approx. Anne Frank had more room. Absolutely shocking. We complained and was given different room which had two chairs and coffee table by the window. To access these you had to physically climb over the bed. Shocking. Also, the multisocket plugged into the socket was unstable.

Charming property. Staff did not offer any information about property or amenities at check in, likely because I booked through Expedia so everything (breakfast, gym) was an add on. But still would have been nice to know. Did not offer information about bar hours or offerings, etc. pleasant when asked direct questions and assisted in getting taxis, etc.

The bathroom is so small one has to stand sideways to brush one's teeth. The curtains let light through and the windows rattled. On the first morning there was no hot water. Parking is limited. If one books through Expedia, breakfast is £15 extra, which is just miserly.

The staff were excellent - friendly and welcoming. The menu was far from exciting but the food we got was really well cooked and very nicely presented. The service in the bar was really good. The problem with the hotel was the room...nothing worked: two faulty lamps(one with a dangerous wiring fault), the television didn't work at all, the wardrobe door was blocked by a chair. The maintenance is seriously lacking.

A quality, historic hotel

The Gwesty’r Marine Hotel is part of an older Victorian Era district. It shows its age at times, but the overall experience is outstanding. The people are very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable except that it got pretty hot on the one really sunny day we had (which was unusual for November). If you are expecting a modern hotel with all the newest amenities, you will find more issues. If you want a great place to stay, within walking distance of the city center, and don’t mind some historical ambience, you will not be disappointed. The restaurant also has great choices for dinner.
