Property was run down and in desperate need of upgrade/deep cleaning. Rooms were dirty and unkempt, windows were broken and drafty, blinds broken, beds rickerty, towels and bedding stained, shower was awkward to maintain temperature and not connected correctly (cold was hot and vice versa) sadly the list is endless. Avoid at all costs

No heating. Windows left wide open prior to entering room. Yet catches on window broken so wouldn’t close properly, letting icy draft in. Had to move rooms due to this and no signal on tv. Second room. Equally cold and windows not fully shutting but viewable tv. No tea/coffee in second. Bathroom door also wouldn’t shut properly. Wouldn’t stay again.

Won’t return
Arrived at 3.30 to be left stood like a lemon as room not ready but on here states check in from 2.30. Room smaller than expected on images but ok until we sat on the bed it was like there was no mattress on it. Didn’t complain as for the price for 2 adults and 2 kids was cheap. But didn’t get a second of sleep, adults talking in another language really loud at 1.30 am. Small child also there screaming, doors banging all night. Got up at 7.30 and left will never return

Olive Lodge was very comfortable. The shower in the bathroom was broken and there were 4 girls sharing a room which was inconvenient. The bathroom looked a little tired but the room and bedding was very clean. We were also confused about breakfast so we found a diner close by.

Pleasant enough stay.
Greeted on arrival by friendly owner. Asked about breakfast, was informed that this would be continental (croissants, cereals, fruit etc) but was a bit steep at £5 a head so £25 in total paid cash for this. Top floor room, spacious, clean and basics provided. Quiet hotel and area. Breakfast was ready by 8am for us to help ourselves to. Kitchen areas could do with a tidy up and some rearanging though. Couple of prams, laundry bags, and no sink! Overall we would stay again but not for breakfast.

Basic but ok
Hotel was basic but generally clean. Window couldn't be closed so had to sleep at opposite end of the bed so my head wasn't right next near a drafty window. Hot/cold taps were the wrong way round so as not informed one person had a VERY cold shower until we worked out the faulty tap system. Ok stay for the price. Very close to seafront so that was the main reason for staying here.

Basic hotel, ok if you just want a base
Family of 5 stay in the family room for 4 nights. Upon entering the premises I noticed how clean the hallway was, tiled floors super shiny! Great first impression. Checked in at the small kitchen at the back, friendly staff. Wasn't showed to the room just told the room number to make our own way there. Room clean but very basic. 2 plug sockets in the whole room,one near the side of the double bed, the other near the ironing board. The kettle was located on the dresser but if you need to boil in you had to stand it elsewhere to plug it in. Beds were the uncomfiest beds, cheap beds and matresses. The single was like a camping bed you could feel every wooden slat through the matress, the bunk creaked all night and the double the slats underneath kept falling off resulting in the mattress sinking. Beds were awful. Shower was a trickle of water and the shower head was held up by 2 hair bobbles to stop it falling down. There were 2 temperatures - scalding or scalding. Decor was very basic, paintwork dirty and chipped in places. Attention to detail also struck me - there was 1 roll of toilet paper for the 5 of us, for 4 nights and the tea/coffee stand had 3 milk pots between us all. These were never replenished we had to buy more to use. This hotel is in a great location, just off the promenade and in the centre of everything. We found it so noisy, people upstairs could hear every step they took and the street in the night was loud. Parking very limited we managed to park on street.

Excellent Family Suite
Brilliant room, very spacious and modern. Lovely comfortable beds and nice clean warm bedding. Ideal for a family due to the size & several beds. Wooden floors which had just been mopped! Massive bonus as I hate carpets for shared places! Ground floor room with disabled access shower would be an added bonus for those who needed the extra ease. Perfect location just a stones throw from the seafront . We were lucky and got a parking space. Free WiFi was a bonus for the kids iPad time. Quite a few plug sockets for charging and a great breakfast bar really handy for the chippy dinner we had! . Lovely hosts very friendly and attentive! Unfortunately there was quiet a serious fire in a nearby hotel so we didn’t sleep much with all the comings and goings but this was absolutely no fault of the hotel and was completely unfortunate but I only mention it as i did like the way the young man host came to apologise and check we were all ok. Great hosting as it was complete unfortunate and couldn’t be helped but it was lovely that he apologised and checked on us! Eventually once things had quietened down in the early hrs I must say the hotel was lovely and quiet and we did have a nice sleep. I would definitely recommend this place . We will definitely stay again! Thanks for a great stay Olive Lodge

Nice guest house
We enjoyed our stay at olive lodge. The room was clean and nicely decorated. As far as guests houses go it was probably one of the nicest I’ve stayed in. My only comment would be that there was only beans and sausage and boiled egg as a hot breakfast option, could do with afew more options such as scrabbled egg,mushrooms tomato. But overall it was a nice place to stay.
