Room was dated, pigeons cooing most the night. Light comes in from gap under door. Room 245 has a really uncomfortable mattress. Bathroom has dark mould around tiles in the shower end of bath. Was not a pleasant stay at all but an uncomfortable night with broken sleep, no water in room, stain on comforter very basic. Breakfast was okay but would not stay again.

Stayed for one night with a booking for the Congress theatre. Sea view room was clean and spacious as were all public areas of the hotel. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Handy roadside parking just across the road from the hotel. All staff were friendly and attentive to customer needs.

The hotel is an older building but very clean and well maintained. The staff at the Lansdowne were superb, all of them. The receptionist was welcoming, the bar staff were friendly and chatty. The restaurant crew were accommodating and professional. On arrival the room was not setup for four, an immediate apology and within 10 minutes the additional bed arrived and made up with care. The hotel has a free pool table that our boys loved.
