Was diverted down a side street to another property away from hope hotel without prior notice.room was in a converted house into rooms. Definitely not a deluxe . Asked about evening meal in hotel told it was closed. Toilet flush not working. Stairs to upstairs room too narrow and caused a problem as OAPs. No breakfast the following day all in all Definitely not worth the money very disappointing would not stay again 😑

I booked the Hope Hotel for myself and my partner, with my friends booking a separate room. Together we paid a total of over £200. When we checked in, we were taken out of the hotel, and down the road to a ‘guesthouse’ which was effectively a student accommodation. The room was dirty, the lights were covered in dusk and cobwebs. The bathroom floor hadn’t been cleaned so it made my feet dirty, so I had to clean it myself. Following this, the shower didn’t work. The owner tried to tell us breakfast would ‘be over by 8:45’ when all signage said 9:30. My friends room was just as dirty, their shower did not drain so after one of them showered, no one else could. Their window was broken open so the room was freezing. My friends complained and received a refund pf £30, which didn’t even cover the charge for breakfast. We were given nothing. This was raised with hotels.com and the hotel said that the £30 was for BOTH rooms? And refused to do anything about it. The owner was rude and dismissive. The check in staff and bar staff however are lovely, though seem to be working with the best they have. Avoid, better off in a chain that deals with things when they do go wrong

I like the fact that the property is right the at the heart of the sea and all the exciting activities to do. The down side is the fact that the hotel do not have leaflet of taxis, tours or any other relevant information to facilitate customers moving around or eat out.

Would not recommend.
Arrived & was walked out to a guest house that is only comparable to a morbid student house. Horrendous, low quality furniture, not clean & generally uncomfortable to be in.

Decent Stay but could be improvements
Mixed feelings really. We booked the hotel as it was on the seafront. However on checking in we were shown to our room which wasn't actually on the seafront but 5 mins up the road next door! This is not good when all your friends are in the main hotel & so is the breakfast hall. The positives were that the staff were really friendly, breakfast was good, our room was a good size, fully equiped, came with sky should we have needed it & the beds & pillows were comfy. However the room got very hot & the two fans provided were not good enough to cool it down. The key to the front door of the building was also dodgy & it took us ages to open the door on both occasions. For the price it was good value but i would have preferred to have been told before hand that we were not staying in the main hotel & feel this should be mentioned when booking.

No tv remote which they said would be replaced. Had to book out and rebook new hotel at vast expense.. Horrendous!!

Overall we had a good stay. We had a room with a beautiful view out to sea but unfortunately it was only a standard room which meant we didn’t have our own bathroom. The sheets were crisp and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, it is a beautiful old building which is very much in need of a refurb.

The room was tidy, tv wasn't working neither was the WiFi unfortunately, but I had nice room with a amazing sea view, if the rooms tv and WiFi worked I would definitely give it 10 out of 10! But even though it wasn't perfect I would stay again.

We hoped for better at the Hope hotel.
Paid for a deluxe king room in the hotel. After checking in was taken to a house 5 min walk away that resembled student accommodation. Grubby, uninviting, small bed and tiny bathroom. Breakfast was ok.
