The Cumberland Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION

The pool is lovely, but the lack of parasols an issue. Pillows were very hard, so I slept badly. The room that I thought I’d chosen on the Expedia website was not the one that I got given. You advertise a sea view. Please be more honest. as I had a wall view- but at least the room was quiet!!

The check-in was quick and efficient and the lobby/lounges and bars all looked very good on arrival. The rooms were smaller than we expected and not much space, possibly removing either desk or table as we did not need both, rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming and even arranged a birthday greeting for one of our party, which was very thoughtful and was appreciated. Only thing we were disappointed with was the sofas in the lounge areas were very low and uncomfortable and all of the guests were struggling to get up out of them, other than that we had a very enjoyable stay

Have stayed here quite a few times now and as usual the staff were efficient and the food in mirabelle restaurant excellent although a bit less choice at breakfast than previously- ie fresh fruit, yoghurt selection. Stair carpet needs replacing as very worn in places, covered by black tape and lounge furniture tatty although still comfortable. Would happily return though

Air conditioning is amazing beds very comfortable but had to check out on the 2nd night at 11pm due to the noise level from a function on & we were right above it! So really spoiled it, no rooms to change was offered! Not good when you have an autistic child with you and had to drive home which was a 3hour drive!

Only one lift that takes a maximum of 3 people which is too small for the size of the property.

The rooms were very comfortable and clean but i feel the landings and the stairs could do with updating. Carpets look old and worn and carpets are not the most hygienic. The pools were cold and the areas around the changing rooms could have been cleaner. Also more lockers are needed in the sister hotel for users of Sauna and indoor swimming pool. Also was not too happy that we had to pay more for the car park particularly when the space is not guaranteed. I felt like once i found a parking spot i could not take my car out again as i would not have been able to get a parking space upon return. Overall we were happy with our stay it was a great location. The customer service was good. If they can improve on the issues mentioned above it would be great

Not that great

Excellent

We had a good stay here. Staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. Everything was very efficient. No queues for check-in or breakfast and dinner service very good. Our only criticism would be that the decor was tired and our room, although comfortable, wasn’t very modern. The hotel could do with a refurbishment. Sound proofing could also be better. We were on the first floor and could hear loud music from downstairs in the evening until past 10pm. Indoor pool was in hotel next door (chlorine in air was very strong and made my eyes sting even as a spectator), outdoor pool was pretty chilly to stay in for too long.

Lovely and clean , staff really helpful . Could do with a lick of paint externally
