Small tv.
Room very dated. Tv so small so not worth having. No bar for afternoon drinks opens at 4pm. The windows in the room look like they have never been cleaned

Warm, friendly welcome and good room!
Street view a little off-putting but immediately off set by the warm friendly welcome at reception with full info to help with our stay. (Great idea to have a microwave downstairs for maybe heating up a late night supper for instance! )
Inadvertently booked standard twin room but Suzanne reception staff was lovely moving us to an "executive" twin, nothing too much trouble!
Room was spacious and very well equipped with a small fridge in bedroom, and ironing board and iron for instance, all making it well worth the extra few pounds for the upgrade.

Good affordable and friendly stay
The hotel is a big old and in need of some tlc but is comfortable enough and the staff are very friendly .
The room cost includes a drink at the bar which is fabulous!
Breakfast was fine and very affordable.
There is a pool sauna and steam room for use too .

A traditional welcoming hotel
We had a really lovely one night stay at the Elstead hotel. It was very convenient to be able to park right outside the hotel and it was walkable into the centre of town for an evening meal. We enjoyed a drink in the hotel bar and the provisions for breakfast were very good. The spa was an added bonus.

A lovely little stay.
Lovely staff. Couldn’t help us enough. They could see my friends motability problems and gave us a room that made life so much easier. They helped us with places to eat and were all so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the sauna and the pool. The hotel may be a little dated but everything else made up for that and more. A fabulous breakfast, which I looked forward to each morning after my dip in the sea.
A big thank you to all the staff.

The hotel wasn’t like what was advertised on line, pictures well out dated, pool changing rooms VERY dirty and had mold everywhere and smelt like a fish pond.
Sauna and steam room were very unsafe with the tiles lifting in the steam room on the floor.
It had no ways off having a hot meal at the hotel it just had a microwave in a large room, the curtains were ripped and stained.
The whole hotel was run down and felt like I was in a hostel, I stayed for the night and was gone early so I cut my stay very short, what should had been a long weekend away, turn into less then 24 hours before leaving.
Very disappointed and upset.
Very unclean and unsafe !

Faulty Towers ?
The hotel need to close and have a full refurbishment.one presumes they do not or can not get an alcohol licence as bar only sold soft drinks and coffee.
The windows in our room were filthy and one of the chairs was ripped exposing the padding and the carpet was worn exposing the thread of weave.The staff were pleasant and polite . Our bathroom was nicely tilled with mould on sections of the silicon.
Tea and coffee were supplied in the room and the hotel had a swimming pool which we did not visit.
The hotel overall is very very dated and does not warrant the charge per room per night.
