Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): Thank you - Luvly clean room and staff will return again Very clean hotel
- Simon (10/5): Excellent - amazing place - superb value for money and great location / walking distance to all key sites / beach etc nothing
- Roger (5/5): - location This was a boarding house, not a hotel.
Price for one room without breakfast was high ( my fault for not checking properly )
Noise between rooms was poor
Step into bathroom was ok for us, but not for people with access issues
No fire drill instructions ( unless it was where we couldn't find them? )
Double bed was small.
- David (10/5): - Friendly , comfortable
- Joanne (8/5): - The hotel is very clean and convenient for the beach and shops.
- Christopher (9/5): Excellent hotel and lovely staff.would stay again anytime - Just about everything Would have been good to have a bigger car park and a small bar.
- Emmy (6/5): Location good but not worth the money. - Close proximity to seafront etc. We were put in a room that was in reception. There was an inch gap at the bottom of the door which meant you could hear every single word being said and it was very cold due to the gap.
- Laura (7/5): Nice but not best for work as no desk - All very clean and looked good. Needed a work desk
- georgina (10/5): Perfect stay highly recommended - Beautiful place spotless throughout . Lovely staff and owners Nothing
- Nick (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): -
- Ecaterina (10/5): - Everything was amazing.
- Amy (10/5): Perfect 👌🏻 - Great location, free parking, beautiful room Nothing!
- Ramin (10/5): - Pretty clean and comfortable
- Selina (8/5): - Great location. Comfy room. Friendly staff
- Shenai (9/5): - Very helpful staff, let me park in the evening after I checked out. Dedicated parking was the main reason I chose this hotel as opposed to others which were first come first served.
- Valentyn (8/5): -
- neil (9/5): Nice place well situated - Nice place , can’t complain did the job Kettle leaked , but not a drama
- Ben (9/5): -
- Evans (9/5): Lovely stay! Would recommend! - The gentleman in the morning was super nice and helpful. He even helped me get out of my car parking space! Felt clean and loved the cosey room. I had the single! Free parking too!
- Piotr (9/5): -
- Donna (9/5): -
- Laura (10/5): - Lovely hotel very clean and good facilities, easy walk to town or beach and the staff are very polite and friendly Car park can be a squeeze but all is good
- Tanya (9/5): Clean - Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room Bathroom would benefit from a hook on the the inside of the door
- Romina (10/5): -
- Aravind Krishnan (7/5): -
- Debbie (7/5): - Central location. The bed in our room was tucked into a corner which ment one person had to climb over the other to get in & out. Luckly we are active but this could be a huge issue for some.
- Abdelhak (10/5): - Excellent 2 night stay. Included parking on site. Very clean comfortable room. Great staff. Would definitely stay there again. All goods
- Gemma (10/5): -
- Jitesh (10/5): -
- Hiett (9/5): - Lovely clean accomadation, good night's sleep Light didn't work in bathroom
- Val (10/5): Lovely comfortable stay. - Close to town and the theatre. Clean, nicely decorated communal areas and bedroom. Recommend it for two friends together as the beds were separate.
- Jones (2/5): I won't be booking at this hotel again. - The single room had everything I needed for my one night stay. Ensuite was clean.
The location was quiet, and a short walk to the beach. The property was nice, and smelt lovely when I first walked in. The room decor and some of the furniture could do with a freshen up. One of the chest of drawers had a red smudge on one of the drawers - I couldn't figure out if it was blood, make up, or something else.
I had a disrupted night's sleep. From approx 9.30pm one of the other rooms had their tv on so loud that I could hear it clearly, then they had to shout at each other to be heard over the tv's volume. Once I managed to nod off, I had a man talking loudly outside my door at 1am. Then at 1.40am it sounded like the room above was dragging furniture across the floor. If I wasn't attending an event the following day, I would have left and driven the 3 hours home.
I have to say I was very disappointed considering I had read previous reviews before making the decision to book the room.
- Nicolas (10/5): Séjour de rêve dans un cadre luxueux. Rapport qualité / prix 10/10!! - Magnifique hotel, extérieur et intérieur très luxueux. Propreté impeccable et le personnel est extrêmement accueillant!! Nous avons eu les clef 3h avant et nous avons pu laisser nos bagages dans une pièce sécurisée. Merci beaucoup!!
- Britta (8/5): -
- Nigel (10/5): Perfect - Everything, as usual Nothing to dislike
- Bryony (9/5): Very good value for money, great location, comfy, spacious rooms. - Spacious, clean and very comfy Lack of ‘nice’ toiletries and the kettles in each of our 3 rooms might have been stale as all of our teas were unpleasant tasting - even with mineral water.
- Joel (10/5): - 👌🏾
- Antonia (10/5): Great accommodation - Great location, lovely staff and clean Nothing, couldn't fault my stay
- Ann (10/5): Fantastic hotel - The Washington House Hotel is just stunning in every way. The family that run the hotel are all wonderful & deliver service excellence each & every time. The hotel is in a brilliant location to explore. N/a
- Costanza (9/5): - The room was very wide and luminous, the bed comfortable, with nice touches and a TV with Netflix and Amazon Video. Very wide shower and bathroom. No breakfast was served because it was not high season. Still, I had free tea and cookies at my disposal.
- Chris (9/5): Exceptional value at this clean and comfortable room - A very comfortable single bed. Everything was very clean and the decor was in good condition. Kettle with ample supplies of coffee, tea, milk etc. A bottle of water and some biscuits. Parking was off road by the front door. Good shower.
Exceptional value and I would recommend it. Its a shame they don't do breakfasts but I was aware of that before I booked.
- Paul (8/5): Lovely getaway in a great location at a great price! - On site parking. Close to seafront. Large bathroom. Free water & biscuits. Comfortable. Easy check-in (early). Friendly hosts. Windows were hard to open. Larger towels would have been good.
