Room 6 - The room itself was great. The mattress was too soft and rocked side to side when either of us turned in our sleep. It was July and the room was hot, sun was out in Wales! A fan was provided although a large industrial one with 3 speeds, loud, louder and helicopter! Couldn’t have it on whilst sleeping. I have stayed here before and will again as it’s convenient for me. Hopefully not room 6 though

The room was amazing spacious and clean to a high standard. My only issue was we paid for a sea view but had a call to say someone had booked 2 mins before myself and the sea view room had been taken. No offer of a refunded as we paid extra for the sea view that we didn’t get.

Really lovely hotel

The hotel is ideally placed right opposite the pier at Penarth.. it is really close to a number of cafes and restaurants. It was spotlessly clean and efficient. Service was great. Only one small niggle which is that the blackout blinds in our room were set outside the window so it was pretty much daylight from 4am :) a small gripe that didn't take anything from our stay and this is a place we would use again.

The room was good, clean, and had a nice view. But the place was supposed to be a hotel but there was no reception, you couldn’t see how to get in, and the person who met us didn’t identify himself, and tried to say, as we waited in the dark outside, that we had to do some online check-in before we could have the room. The place was owned by some corporation with a standard online check-in form which requires a scan of photo ID among other things, and assumed guests have 24/7 internet access on their phones. Bad start marred our stay.

The Hotel was comfortable, cobwebs in bathroom but relatively clean otherwise. I paid in advance of my stay. However the hotel took the money again £140 from my account. They have told me they have refunded but this will take a couple of days. They advised they will not be compensating me at all for this inconvenience, hence the poor customer service score.

I had booked a sea view room, after being there previously in a courtyard facing room. Unfortunately they had booked us into a rear facing room which seemed to be for wheelchair access as the basin was very low an only a wet room type shower, when I rang to tell them (there is no one there just self check in ) they weren’t very helpful and said that Expedia had made the mistake and nothing they could do, I am still try to get a partial refund but not successful so far.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was very nice - no complaints at all on that score, and the location on Penarth beach is great. The disappointment was that I thought I'd booked a "deluxe" room with sea view - the sole point of booking this facility - but that turned out not to be the case. We were located at the rear of the building, with no view of the sea at all. I found the check-in procedure a bit frustrating. There is a two-step process. First, you have to complete a registration form, but I received nothing and had to contact the company. Then, when registration is complete, they are meant to send you check-in instructions straight away. Again, this did not happen and I had to go out of my way to ask. So, not ideal. The room does not appear to have air-con, which was fine on a cool Friday evening, but would not have been if it had been warm.

We've stayed at the Beachcliffe several times, twice this year and really like it. On this occasion I chose a seaview room with king size bed as usual but ended up on the 3rd floor with no view whatsoever plus being in the attic and a warm day the room was boiling hot. I complained and dealt with a very helpful lady at the company who manage the property who confirmed she would move us down to floor 2 with a seaview. This duly happened the next morning with the help of a member of the cleaning crew. However the room had a double not king size bed so not ideal but much better than the night before. This hotel mostly manages to get the basics right and cleanliness is spot on but they use third party sellers who sometimes mess up some of the easy stuff such as info on the lockbox at the gate as happened this time and the first time we used the hotel. Given there are no reception staff it's frustrating to have to engage with this and needs tightening up please !

Alexander

Disliked: Staff & service
I never got to stay there because the property owner never gave check in instructions 24 hours prior even though he was supposed to. He never even picked up the phone or called back when i left him a message check in time. I was completely ignored for over a day past the time he was supposed to send instructions. Then later that night at 11pm he gives me check in instructions. Too late. Way too late. Our whole trip is ruined because of this. Now he doesnt even want to give a full refund even though its his fault for not sending us instructions! He broke the contract. This is ridiculous and highly unproffessional. 0 stars. Do not stay. Avoid at all costs.

Amazing location and rooms

A lovely trip away for my partners birthday. We had a sea view room and it was exceptional. The British weather can’t be helped but the view was still great. My only struggle was with the parking as it wasn’t super clear where the parking was at the rear.

Nice rooms, very spacious and well laid out. Nice and clean but...only cleaned/made up every other day. Tv is a smart tv with apps that you have to be able to log into. Which means no terrestrial tv and can't even watch the news. The emergency fire escape light was so bright it kept me awake. I'll use again at last minute if the price is right but otherwise will use an alternative

Appartment was comfortable and furnished nicely. Could have supplied more shower gels and shampoo; otherwise excellent. Gate is a bit noisy as everybody leaves it slam; sometimes a bit noisy at night. Beautiful setting with sea views. Very convenient location for getting to Penarth harbour, Sully. Found a few nice restaurants including the Captain's Wife in Sully a 10 minute drive from here and Mint and Mustard in Penarth.
