Just needs some updating

Never judge a book by its cover...The Midland Hotel from the front may look a bit shabby, but honestly a great place to stay. Keith and the staff are so friendly and welcoming and go above and beyond to help make your stay there a good one. Definitely stay again.

Excellent breakfast

Stayed in May 2024

On arrival i was charged £5 cash deposit for front door entry card, i had to show my booking ref & no need for passport, i felt unusually rushed having to checkin by 6pm without knowing the consequences, i requested 7pm checkin arrival but the reception reply on booking insisted on arrive by 6pm, so i was forced to buy another coach ticket for earlier arrival, i felt there were late arrivals who kept in touch & arrived much later, you need to bring your own soap & shampoos, Communication via booking was only replied to once, & my 2nd enquiry was unreplied, You dont see any cleaners in the morning anywhere around, room cleaning & any room refills, such as tea/coffee/loo rolls, is probably on request, i tried to extend my stay by 2 nights & rooms were available but i was not offered any deals, hotel was too quiet on my stay, the lounge area with disco & kariokee has a little issue with insects on the carpet & tables & chair, but only around the front window area, i was a little surprised on only two visible staff but again it was a quiet period anyway, yes both were keeping in touch with the guests during the day & very friendly indeed, yes the front side of hotel facing the sea is noisy at night with noisy bikes, cars & pedestrians, even on 2nd floor you hear the traffic at night, some of 1st floor rooms are probably double bed & balcony, & some 2nd floor rooms are probably twin bed & no balcony,

Front Reception with WC, Lift for 2nd floor, Room 16 on 2nd floor with great sea view & twin beds & excellent lighting on ceiling & on bedside wall & modern bathroom with shower & i think theres no bath tubs thats what their one & only reply suggested to me, i booked on Midland but my payment & room allocation shows Monaco, looks like its one entry for both hotels, for breakfast i chose veg options, such as cornflakes, milk, orange juice, fried eggs, toast, butter, beans, hash browns & large pot of either hot tea or coffee, hotel bar was only open on sunday evening with good prices on drinks, theres all day music from the past in the lounge until 10pm, the large windowed lounge provides great views of the promenade or public walking area & the wide sea front & the hotel is right opposite the ramp thats used for lowering water bikes or boats into the sea, i was treated to spectacular views one morning with good sea tide & many water sports activity such as many water bikes & boats & cars towing various activity equipment.

Like most hotels in the area furnishings are yeolde and need updating. As shown in the pictures.

Pleasant greetings from smartly dressed manager. They upgraded my room from single to double no extra charge. He carried my case to room for me. Room was lovely, comfy bed and pillows and clean. Room refreshed on 2nd day. Hairdryer in room. I mention as some you have to ask and pay a deposit. You can pay extra for breakfast which smelt great but I just paid room only. Really friendly staff and cleaners . Location is great near Marine Lake and not far from Pier and Town Centre. I would stay again.

The lock on the balcony door was not strong enough for me to feel safe.

I liked that there was a balcony. However it is a shared balcony.

WiFi was not available in the rooms and poor network as well

Friendly and homely

No WiFi in rooms. Poor phone signal, so no internet for work purposes.

Location was excellent - onsite parking, limited spaces - helpful staff- value for money

Nothing ..except would have liked to have tried the breakfast if the kitchen had been open

Fantastic location on seafront. Very clean and comfortable room. The bed was lovely and there was a good hot shower. I had everything I needed for my stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was given great recommendations for dining out as the hotel kitchen was closed due to the chef being off sick. I would have loved to have tried the breakfast as the hotel has a fantastic reputation for breakfast. I can't reccomend it more highly.

An excellent sea front location., this budget Hotel offers a warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff. I had a single room which was clean and comfortable and provided everything for my needs. An excellent cooked breakfast, would definitely return if in the area.

Really can't say I disliked anything

This hotel was a great place to stay, a little dated but that added to the charm, staff were amazing and helpful, the hotel also had a karaoke bar attached to it which was great

No wifi in the room, but this is specified that only communal areas have wifi. Used wifi in the restaurant area and it was fast.

The receptionist was great. Booked me into my room even a bit early before scheduled time. Showed me how get in and out of hotel after hours and even upgraded my single room to a double room. Very affordable and value for money.

I'd of liked the room to of been a little bigger. But no big deal.

I loved that we had a balcony with a sea view. Considering we were at the front it was still pretty quiet.

Toilet seat fell off most of the time and when I went to check out no one was about so had to leave key chucked on chair,

Value for money
