We found East Cliff hotel to be as expected for a BW 3* - a little worn around the edges and old fashioned decor. Although nondescript in colour and furniture, our room was very spacious and spotlessly clean (3rd floor sea view) as was the bathroom. We opted out of breakfast (extra £15) as we prefer not to be constrained by set times and it was easy enough to find coffee etc 10-15 minutes downhill walk away on the pier prom. We appreciated the free drinks offer in lieu of any housekeeping. It was easy to access the pool next door at the Carlton but it got crowded early on. The staff make this hotel - thanks to Jamol in particular for pleasant, efficient, patient and helpful service. East Cliff is in a good position for reaching the beach but remember there is an uphill climb back or a taxi ride of £6-8 depending where you leave from in town. It is also in walkable distance from the train station or £6-7 by taxi.

Kids running the corridors all night till 3am

Hotel is in fine condition and value for money. Staff are trying the best they can but some issues with hot water running out due to a tank issue meant I was offered another room. This was excellent and handled by receptionist in a calm and professional manor. What let the trip down was the kids allowed to run up and down the halls knocking and shouting on each others doors till 3am. Not the hotels issue but gives an example of the type of people who frequent these types of hotels. Did notify the reception on check out and he said they would try to stop this but I was leaving so I hope the other guests who complained about the same thing at breakfast got this cleared up for the rest of their stay. Apart from these issues it was straight 6 or 7 out of 10 for the facilities and a 9 out of 10 for the staff.

The bedroom was very hot, a fan was provided. The curtains were hanging off the rail so couldn't be closed to block out the sun, there was an old cheerio on the bathroom floor. There was a mould patch on the ceiling in the bathroom. The TV in the bedroom did not work. Breakfast did not start until 8am.

The bathroom was filthy with hairs and dirt everywhere, door handle in the bedroom was broken, stain on the bedsheet. The hotel manager said they would have given me a full refund if I’d booked direct. But when Expedia contacted the manager to act on our behalf, the manager said no.

I am writing to express my disappointment following our recent stay at your hotel. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations due to several issues. Upon arrival, we noticed mould on the curtain, a dirty bath, and a non-functional telephone in the room. While we appreciated being offered a 50% discount on the first night, we have since reviewed the charges and noticed that the full 50% was not actually refunded as agreed. Additionally, despite having the “service room” label displayed on our door for the entire day, no housekeeping staff attended our room. We were left without clean towels and other essentials, which caused significant inconvenience. While Josephine, the manager, was helpful and tried her best to assist us, our overall stay was disappointing. Given the circumstances, we feel that more could have been done to rectify the situation, but unfortunately we had limited options at the time. We kindly ask that you review our concerns and the refund discrepancy and advise on the next steps. We hope to see a resolution that reflects the inconvenience we experienced. ]

I drove past the hotel twice because I thought it was closed down. The outside of the building is horrendous. Check in said 11am-4pm got told to go away till 4pm but had to check out at 11am so only got half a days stay. Room had an inch of dust on the windows which felt like they would fall out when you tried to open. Such a shame as the views were fantastic but the hotel is not.

After reading some of the reviews we didn’t have high expectations so we were pleasantly surprised on arrival - although the outside is in great need of a paint we thought the inside looked pleasant enough and we had a good size clean double room We really appreciated use of the sister hotel as the atmosphere there seemed a bit more alive with families using the pool and sitting in the bar etc . The one thing I’d change is the check in time I’d rather 3.30 and leave room by 10.30 as 4pm check in feels a tad too late .

The room was very spacious , like a super king room with 2 big singles beds put together. For us was perfect, with one side of the windows facing the beach. We choose do not have housekeepers as we had everything with us. (We took our rubbish daily out and we keep the room clean ) For not having housekeeping they offer us 6 free drinks which we didn’t use them as we been daily out eating as we need halal food. We did not use any other facilities from hotels.
