    cozy seating
    charming ambiance
    poor wifi
    temperature control

    I had a lovely few nights stay at Elstead Hotel. The room was spacious and had a cozy seating area, making it perfect for relaxation. The staff were super friendly and really made me feel at home. Breakfast featured quality ingredients with good options, and I especially enjoyed the fresh cheese bread. The location is great, within walking distance of the beach and near a bus stop, which made getting around easy. the WiFi connection was spotty at times, which was a bit frustrating. A few things in the room, like the pillows, were quite flat for my liking, and the temperature control in the room could be improved as it was a bit warm without air conditioning. I also noticed the decor seemed dated and could use an update. Still, the warm atmosphere and charm of the hotel made my mini-break lovely.

    decent breakfast
    good pool
    tired decor

    Solid breakfast with a self-serve buffet, featuring a decent spread of hot and cold options. The pool boasts a good size, perfect for unwinding after a long day, and the gym offers adequate equipment for staying active.

    The decor in several common areas feels a bit tired, and a little bit of updating could enhance the overall appeal. The absence of air conditioning led to a somewhat uncomfortable night, especially since the fan wasn't quite cutting it during warmer weather. the mattress firmness left something to be desired, causing minor discomfort during sleep.

    good quality breakfast
    navigating parking

    We had a lovely stay at Elstead, with the kids enjoying the pool! The hotel is within walking distance to the beach, and we appreciated the spacious family room. Plus, mum loved the hearty breakfast with good quality options. Great for a family getaway!

    For dads, it would be great if the parking was easier to navigate.

    comfortable room
    indoor pool
    stained coffee pot

    We had such a lovely stay, especially enjoying the indoor pool and sauna after a long day out. The room was very comfortable, although the coffee pot had some tea stains that slightly affected the brew, but honestly, we hardly noticed given how much fun we had. I'd recommend taking a stroll to the local attractions since they're not too far away! ☀️

    spacious room
    quality breakfast

    Ideal stay for couples seeking comfort

    Had a huge room with a fridge and sofa, felt like a mini-apartment. The breakfast was simple yet perfect, you could taste the quality of the ingredients used.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but reasonable for what you get.

    Very good
    7.0

    Good-sized rooms with comfy beds and decent amenities like a trouser press and a fan for those warm nights. The hotel features a health club with a well-heated pool, making it a pleasant spot for some laps.

    Double room felt tight with limited space, making it tricky to maneuver around. Breakfast options for vegetarians were lacking, primarily just sausage. The restaurant wasn't open for dinner, and while there's a microwave room for takeouts, it's hardly impressive. the menu seemed overpriced for the quality—the fish and chips tasted frozen and the salad was brown around the edges. Some dated decor in the room could use a fresh touch, and certain setups, like the power cutting when leaving the room, were a bit inconvenient.
