DurleyDean Review April 2025

The negatives- swimming pool is very small and not monitored properly with the amount of people using it and becomes unbearable. The hotel is very dated and in need of updating. The double beds are very small. Parking is a nightmare and you’re lucky to get a space and if you do it’s £15 a day. Stepped access on the bedroom floors even after using the lift. The positives - bar food at the hotel is very nice, bar area is relaxing and dog friendly if needed, hotel is clean and tidy, breakfast is good value at £11.

The hotel is ‘of its day’ in style and furniture but the warm welcome and helpfulness of staff made up for the slightly tired decor. Friendly Resturant staff and excellent tasty breakfast. All in all, with good transport links, near to beach and decent facilities it’s a great place to stay.

Don’t stay here

Absolutely horrific hotel do not stay here!! Bed sheets clearly hadn’t been changed they were stained with what looked like blood! The toilet seat was basically brown. Dust everywhere! Pillows are rock hard. Paid extra for the better/bigger room didn’t even have a bath. Emailed with a complaint shouldn’t have even bothered the owner is RUDE and accused us of basically causing the mess ourself and a reply of “It the same as eating a whole meal and then saying you didn’t like it and wanting it for free“ Don’t waste your money!

We booked this hotel for a birthday weekend. Unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed with our stay. Hotel feels very dated. Our room was located in the lower level. To get to it we had to go through labyrinth of corridors and the smell of dump along the way was really bad. Size of the room was good and it had all basic facilities. On the downside it definitely could do with more cleaning. Carpet was covered in stains in several places, bedding as well. There was mould and limescale in few areas in the bathroom. Pictures of the swimming pool were really misleading. In reality it's really small. Three people in it and it feels crowded. Sauna and one shower in ladies changing room weren't working. Breakfast was really basic and lacking choices. If you're not a fan of full Eglish breakfast better look elsewhere. They also charge £15 for their parking. They only two good things about this place was their reception staff (they were really lovely and welcoming) and it's location. It's only few minutes away from the beach and short walk to the town centre.

Old, cold hotel.

The whole hotel was freezing. Our bathroom had no heating. The towels were thin and small. Parking was a nightmare. The coffee machine in the bar wasn’t working. Noisy in the corridors. The only positive was the staff were friendly but constantly apologizing.would not stay again.
