The staff were helpful

Had to change rooms as the first smelled very strongly of cigarettes. Neither room had very stable locks on the doors. The carpets were old and stained

"Our stay at the Carlt.... Oh wait Cecil Hotel."

1.0

Breakfast convenient Hot water ok Pillows were good and beds although slanted were decent

Where to start. Well, the Cecil Hotel comes to mind. As soon as you walk in you are greeted, not by a nice hotel, but by a revolting pungent smell of damp, peeling wallpaper and decor from the ages before queen Victoria. The rooms took everything to a whole new level of execrable. Stained carpets, a bathroom that resembled "skid" row (literally), and dingy, tattered curtains. Wherever you looked in the room there was grime, filth and sights utter despair, so I just ended up just closing my eyes, dreaming of the nice hotel we could have stayed in. We feared for our lives throughout the night, barricading the doors like it was 1815 in the french Revolution, trying to sleep as our promiscuous neighbours were singing, screaming, squeaking and squaking throughout the night. Needless to say the place is falling apart and is being held together solely by cobwebs and wishful thinking, clinging on for dear life. It is a dilapidated dump, a biohazard, leaving you needing a tetanus shot just by touching the door handle to the room. The place is a cesspool, a dirty abysmal establishment where I wouldn't dream of hosting the killer seagulls here let alone paying guests. The whole stay was nicely summed up as I stepped out of the front door onto a used condom which greeted us farewell, au revoir. The calamitous decision to stay here I will not make again, nor shall I be seen dead anywhere near this utter squalid, seedy, apocalyptic wasteland ever ever again!

Lovely place close to the beach ,shops , train station etc. kids loved the comfortable beds too.

The water pressure was too low so not enough water, none of us enjoyed the shower 🚿 especially after a hot day at the beach.

The location, and the breakfast room were perfect. Right on the seafront.

The room should have been redone 20 years ago. The bathroom was just short of disgusting. Everywhere room deodorant stank the air. Maybe you can stay one night but not more.
