Lovely staff
The room we requested wasn't available due to a guest extending their stay.
But we were given options that suited us.
Our room was nice. Unfortunately the upstairs guests were noisy, no fault of the hotel, we mentioned it and they said if it got too bad they'd have a word.

We frequently stay as we like the hotel, love the seaview and have always found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful.

Look forward to returning soon.

We had a fantastic sea view, large TV, comfy bed and a good shower. The room was a little basic, but clean, warm and recently refurbished/moderized. The reception staff were also very welcoming and helpful. The shower could perhaps do with a deep cleanse around the base area. Overall though this was very good value for money (continental breakfast just £5!) and we would definitely come back. Thanks.

We booked a deluxe room but it was really only standard a bit grubby to be honest as was the bathroom, the shower cubicle was a bit weird as it didn’t have a visible plug hole but a wooden flooring piece which allowed the water to soak away around the edges .
The staff it has to be said were very polite and helpful.
I wouldn’t personally book this property again although the view of the beach and sea and the bay was spectacular.

We didnt have a view, as we had a back room, we only stayed one night as we were travelling through. The gentleman on reception was very welcoming and the downstairs bar area looked very pleasant but we didnt use it ourselves.
We would stay here again for an overnight break.

The hotel was nice. View from window you could see the ocean and boat harbour.
The room was clean apart from a few stains on the carpet.
Also the bathroom had no curtains or blinds at the window. Being on the third floor it wouldn’t have bothered me but there was a big wheel ride outside and anyone sitting on the ride could have seen in!! I had to put a towel up to hide my modesty.
The lift broke down Monday night or Tuesday morning, which I would imagine was difficult for the more elderly stayers.
I did enjoy my stay in Weymouth. Even though I was only there a few days, I found plenty to do.

For a hotel it did what is said on the tin. Staff contact was efficient and polite. I was given a twin room rather than a single so a bit more space but with a mini tv. Room and bathroom quite tired as was the hotel generally. A look outside the rear of the property shows the need for serious maintenance and a tidy up. Disappointing for a flagship Weymouth hotel and at that price. However, we all know the pressures of running a seaside hotel with typical limited (peak) season.

The location is great and the staff friendly but that’s about it. We got one of the family rooms that is yet to be renovated and it wasn’t nice. Firstly there was brick dust like someone had been drilling on the bathroom floor and my six year old stepped on a screw in bare feet! Luckily wasn’t hurt and the guy we spoke to was shocked and said he had checked the room. Personally I see it as a problem that they didn’t know A. Who had been in the room and B. Why. It was cleared up and we were told we could have a free drink. The wardrobe doors didn’t slide and just got stuck. The bed was so soft to the point where if one of us moved it felt like we were on a boat. The water pressure in the bathroom was non existent and hot water took 7-10 working days to appear. We also got a room with a view of nothing but a scaffold covered roof. The WiFi took about an hour to actually connect. Also if you’re in one of the further away rooms it’s quite a way to walk from the lift with more stairs so be clear of you don’t want stairs involved. I wouldn’t personally stay here again and if you’re planning to then ask for an updated room! For over £100 for one night we were very disappointed.

Room was nice for a family but the beds were a bit uncomfortable. Bathroom was decent enough and the shower/bath was pleasant after a long day. My only complaint would be the need for a new shower head. Staff were all really helpful during our stay.
