    Great room review! We agree that it only needs some small changes. Matress protector and bigger TV is a must. We have really enjoyed watching your video and have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching your future content 😊

    We’ve booked to stay in July on the way to France, £39/night. We’re not expecting The Ritz

    Have stayed here a couple of times (2006 and 2009) looks pretty much as I remember it! Always had a pleasant stay for ridiculously good value so can’t really understand the negative reviews tbh!

    I have just had a four night stay. I was very happy with it. Room similar to the video. I didn't have a lamp. Linen fresh. Bed average. Slept OK.
    I loved the Dining Room. Discreet staff, hovering in the background. Occasionally my plate was removed whilst still eating dessert, but overall this probably helped to the efficency of the dining experience.
    My biggest gripe is the security system. The key/ cards to get into hall and room cancel if near keys or phones. Had to traipse back down to reception on three days. Back into a queue, although not a long wait.
    I intend to return next year, because I enjoyed my stay.
    Cost of £58 per night, with a good breakfast and dinner, in my opinion can't be beaten for a basic hotel.

    I stayed here around 5/6 years ago with my family who are elderly and had a cute and nice time. It was very basic but great views of sandy beaches as we were on one of the top floors. There was a show on in the evening very phonix nights vibe, and a bingo. We had such a laugh. Defo not the worst hotel i've stayed in, ive stayed in much worst when backpacking in my 20s 😂. Its not The Ritz but its also not Hotel Paradiso eather. Its defo for an older crowd.

    Within the first 1.5 mins I can tell you now this isn’t the worst hotel in the uk. If you want to go to the worst go to the London road hotel in stroud Gloucestershire. This hotel is like Buckingham palace compared to the London road hotel in stroud and I am not exaggerating.

    I used to work in the hotel a bit down the beach from the burstin hotel, the Hythe Imperial hotel. Lovely looking for the guests. But if you worked where I worked, stillroom / kitchen, it was horrible. A lot of bullying went on, I was one victim. Mr scrag the hotel manager was a real Hitler horrible man

    I think Britannia used this hotel to house the illegal immigrants and the have wisely spent the money they received from the government to refurbish it?

      Just construction workers staying while I was there, but it was very quiet overall. No coach trips or immigrants, very quiet.
