My room was at the front of the hotel with an amazing view of the sea front from 3 huge windows. A classic old English seaside hotel with a lot of character, seems to be slowly and unobtrusively getting some updates - think my room has been recently refreshed and another nearby was being decorated, but it wasn't at all disruptive or very noticeable as it went on. Had everything you need and seconds away from the sea front.

Friendly place to stay

Clean and friendly place to stay no frills stay. The room was freshly decorated but no pictures and the lighting was harsh with no bedside lamps. The WiFi was poor with no internet in the room. Staff were helpful and friendly great for a visit to the theatres.

The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were brilliant. There was renovation work going on in the hotel next door which caused noise. Because of the age of the hotel there were some very creaky floorboards, both in our room and the room above us.

The hotel staff cannot do enough for you, very friendly and efficient. My room was basic, but thats what i paid for. Clean and fresh room, with beach view, plenty big enough for 1 person, which is what i booked. Thankful to all staff, and that there is a lift, as i was on the 4th floor! Perfect stay and great range of breakfast! Many thanks to all at the Cumberland!😁
