The Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a good location and has been refurbished recently, the car park has plenty of spaces and we were happy to have our classic car in it, you just need to register the car when you check in. We had a room with a sea view nice and clean, the only thing that wasn't ideal was the shower was an extension from the bath taps and there was insufficient height. Lovely Terrace to enjoy drinks overlooking a garden area. We will use again when next in the area."

"I wasn't expecting the stay to be as good as it was. The room was compact but comfortable. The shower was instantly hot so no need to waste water waiting for it to get hot. Lovely scented body wash and shampoo. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were luxurious. The TV was a good size, not tiny. The Spanish lady at the bar was really kind and very helpful. In fact all the staff were really polite and welcoming. Food was great. Breakfast buffet was really good with full English and continental breakfast on offer. I have stayed in lots of hotels and was pleasantly surprised by this one."
