"Rooms are nice with a good view of the sea, staff very pleasant and helpful. 20 minute walk to the tower, also a tram stop across the road. All in all pretty good. "

"Overall, good value for money and welcoming. The President was clean and warm and every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful. The furniture was a little tired but adequate. Breakfasts and evening meals were really well cooked. It would have been nice if the coffee bar and lounge had been fully opened but having said that, if we wanted a coffee or alcoholic drink, a staff member was available to serve this. "

"We were greeted on arrival with an incredibly helpful and friendly member of staff who checked us in, gave treats to the children and told us about the colouring comp. The room was great, there was plenty of choice for breakfast and staff were always on hand to help"

"At check in we asked the breakfast times, and told 7 to 10 am, only to find that it finishes at 9am... Also the toilet bowl was filthy and stained from a previous occupant. Don't think I would stay here again "

"Arrived and the first thing that struck us was the 10 or so steps at the front door to get up to the reception area, not easy for older people with a heavy suitcase, we then stood around 10 minutes waiting to check in as there was no staff at reception. Then told that parking was £10 per night which we hadn’t seen listed anywhere, we also had to pay a £150.00 damage deposit (Refundable) which we also knew nothing about, we’re in our 60’s, we’re hardly going to wreck the room! We did consider going somewhere else at this point but the girl on reception said that since we’d had a bit of hassle checking in she’d upgrade our room! If the room we got was an upgrade we’d worry greatly about what they were going to put us in to begin with, the bed would have been great if we were both 5”5 and 7.5st, my feet were hanging off the end of the bed all night, they obviously don’t cater for people of 6ft, the shower was a step over bath with a curtain that sticks to you, how very 70’s! The room was very warm so we opened the top windows then were alarmed to hear some crashing & banging, the breeze coming into the room was lifting the tiles in the false ceiling at both the entrance and the bathroom, needless to say we had to close the window! We were meant stop for three nights but decided to cut our losses and head home after two nights. Never again will we opt for a so called “cheaper hotel” as sometimes pictures on selling sites can be deceiving! Overall, very disappointed…"

"1st time at the Ruskin, stayed three nights bed and breakfast, absolutely delighted, most definitely will be back. the staff were brilliant, friendly. polite and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them, our room was spotless (as was the hotel in general),the bar service was spot on with a great choice of drinks and food, the entertainment every night in the cabaret lounge was really good, all in all a great weekend."

"Staff was so friendly and helpful! The breakfast was lovely with again amazing service. The room, small but extremely cosy and equipped!"
