Staff but the usual staff wasn’t there this time
No towels in our bathroom on our arrival

Traditional hotel right on the sea front. Clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was a bit overly formal - you had to order and be given everything - a small piece of melon on a plate, an omlette that didn’t taste of anything. It felt like they were trying to create a fine dining experience but could have done better with self-service.

Fantastic location, warm and friendly rooms good size & well appointed. Staff attentive & friendly.
Bathroom very modern.
Breakfast was superb and beautifully served too.
Shower not very powerful.
Door closed at 10:30pm which was a tad early esp given time of year for Xmas celebrations. Also door bell to alert night porter seemed not to be working either so had to phone & was eventually let in. Not the staffs fault, they were extremely friendly.

The room was adequate for one night and the bed soft and comfortable. The staff were excellent and accommodating (I visited a friend and came back late but someone was waiting for my return to park my car). It's location was excellent - on the seafront and around the corner to the high street. The breakfast was lovely and I could have had as much toast as I wanted.
I had to pay £10 for 1 nights parking.

I had a single room, and it was a decent size, and good size bathroom.
It's a great location, heating was on - and was able to turn radiator if room was too hot.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Rooms are old fashioned - but perhaps that is part of the charm! Room was still very comfortable.

Everything.. location, quality of room, cleanliness, comfort.
I’d booked a single room and was given a free upgrade to a double room (which was bigger than a double, the bed was huge and very comfortable)
The staff cant do enough for you and all needs are catered for.. I will definitely stay again
Nothing .. first class

The Hotel in Beautiful Sidmouth is located right by the sea and on the level , and the building is always looking well looked after and there are numerous tables where only can enjoy a drink or lunch or afternoon tea
We liked every aspect of our stay rich from our arrival when a gentleman greeted us and offered to take our car and park it and carry our luggage with our room and then at reception we met Talitha she was so welcoming and we sat down for some refreshments and we were introduced to Issam Ismail the Director and what a gentleman and he and I launched into wonderful conversation

Lovely if slightly old fashioned hotel, right on the seafront. Very charming. Staff all very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Parking was managed seamlessly.
This one night stay for two rooms cost an eye watering £775. This is not the fault of the hotel but is to with the timing of my booking through Booking.com So no blame attached to the hotel at all.

Food was excellent, as was the service. The staff were always willing to help.
The blankets and bedding were quite heavy. A duvet would be lighter and warmer.

My single bed was a nightmare. But the room was lovely and really clean.

Water was also only warm not hot.

I felt like I had time travelled 100 years into the past, where I was treated as a valued guest. My bag was taken on arrival, my car parked and I was shown to my clean, comfortable room by a well dressed friendly staff member. I spent quite a bit of time in the lounge and enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant both mornings. When the weather was fine, the front courtyard overlooking the ocean was a lovely place to enjoy a drink or two.

Old fashioned luxury but with every modern convenience.
The drinks and food could be made a little
More affordable. As it was we didn’t always eat and drink there which was a shame because it was excellent. More special offers please!

Location was good and we were upgraded to have a sea view. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Didn't eat in the restaurant as it seemed very quiet and lacking in people.
Maybe due to high cost.
Bathroom was a bit dated and controls for the shower looked complicated
