    • Bar area.
    • Location
    • Overall a very good stay. I picked the Hydro because of the booking ratings. welcome was excellent and Robert could not have been more accommodating. The Hydro is not a new hotel, and has that ‘well worn’ image. I have no problem with that - Robert’s recommendation for food at the Mexican restaurant in the basement was again - spot on. I had breakfast which was excellent - and very much up to the mark. It was well cooked and piping hot. Great coffee and top service. I”d happily stay again

    Cons -

    • Very cold room. Bedding not fresh.
    • Failure to accept refund request and Failure to respond to email
    • Cant say i didnt like anything just that the decor is tired could do with freshing up. Could do with more information about the parking prior to arrival and access to a parking disc that you must have and display wherever you park.

    Breakfast was great could use better sausages. Excellent choice of full breakfast ,kippers fresh fruit cereal and yogourts fruit juice ,tea and coffea. Great service from very attentive friendly staff. Went out of there way for our dog. Great internal lift doesnt go to all floors but was great for us.They do have a Mexican eatary in the basement of the Hotel sadly didnt get chance to use it but locals do say how nice it is.

    Location, Staff upon check-in, comfy bed

    8JamesPosted on: 9-9-2025

    The Hydro Hotel is set in an ideal location right opposite the sea front. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Could do with updating.

    7MarcoPosted on: 9-2-2025

    Friendly staff. Location.

    Thin-walled. Too loud.

    5PhyllisPosted on: 8-30-2025

    The location

    It says evening entertainment there wasn't it was part of reason booked it ,parking awful i understand the motorbike grande pre was on also the shower was too small to get in were in our 70s my better half is a big msn we made do with all over wash ,I strip beds before leaving always have done the duvets were mucky round edges and a big stain on under sheet not nice ,will give them 10 uot10 for clean towels ,the price paid was not worth it £560 is a lot of money to pay even breakfast was warm not hot

    7AndyPosted on: 8-15-2025

    The location and breakfast

    The room was very warm at night with little ventilation, just one window which would tilt open a couple of inches.

    10AdamPosted on: 5-31-2025

    Fantastic location,Awsome Mexican down stairs,friendly staff and clean rooms lovely place to stay

    One of the brew cups was dirty that’s it nothing major at all

    8AllanPosted on: 4-27-2025

    Good location and friendly staff, comfortable room and not noisy

    Furniture was a bit dated and room could do with freshening up. Breakfast was a bit on cold side and over cooked.

    8DarrenPosted on: 3-27-2025

    Breakfast was good with the normal staple choice of food,and catered for allergies etc.

    6MarcoPosted on: 3-25-2025

    Hotel was nice

    The room was very small for what I paid for and no breakfast was included seeming I had same small room next door for far less money

    8PaulPosted on: 3-21-2025

    The rooms were comfortable, the showers hot, the breakfast was great, and it was over the road from a beautiful beach. What more could you ask for?

    The carpet on the first floor could possibly induce an epileptic fit, and would definitely overwhelm people on the spectrum

    10DavidPosted on: 3-14-2025

    Friendly and helpful staff. One of our party missed breakfast and needed to eat in order to take his medication. Staff brought him cereal even though it was after breakfast closed.

    8JonnyPosted on: 3-10-2025

    The staff where friendly

    The room was not quite big enough for a family of four. Was like they had just thrown a spare bed in the room. Also, a mini fridge would have been good.

    9KathPosted on: 3-10-2025

    Sea view from room. Friendly staff and comfy room

    Bathroom could do with updating. Shower not very good

    8GillPosted on: 3-4-2025

    The staff were both helpful and welcoming. The room was very clean and comfy

    With being older I just felt it was a bit far along from the main entertainment, but we solved that by getting the bus from right opposite the hotel

    10SarahPosted on: 3-3-2025

    Staff friendly. Breakfast was plentiful and the best decaf coffee ive ever had.Needed taxi’s booking and was all taken care of by the staff.

    9PaulPosted on: 3-1-2025

    Very comfortable, well located hotel.Close to everything. Staff were really helpful.The view in the morning over the beach is exceptional.

    The carpet on the first floor. To be avoided if you are on the sceptrum, or are susceptible to sensory overload.
