West Marden Hotels

"I’ve just finished a three‑night stay at The Royal Maritime Hotel (arriving Friday 27 February, leaving Monday 2 March), and as this was my second visit, I’m pleased to report it was superb once again. I booked via hotels.com, and the total cost, £154.13 for three nights in a basic double with breakfast, is, frankly, an absolute bargain. Room 203 was clean, surprisingly spacious, and more modern than I expected. It faces Queen Street, which is busy, so you’ll hear some noise if the window’s open, but with it closed, it’s blissfully quiet. The bathroom was clean and perfectly adequate; not the most up‑to‑date in the building, perhaps, but the shower was powerful and faultless. The location is ideal for Wightlink if you’re heading to the Isle of Wight, just a five‑minute stroll, which was perfect for my family visit. There’s also a Co‑op directly opposite, which is handy for essentials. I had an evening meal in the hotel and went for the chicken skewers, smash burger, and chocolate brownie. All three were delicious, and the service from the waitress was excellent."

"The spa was a little pricey but the experience was very good "

"Staff lovely. "

"The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. It would be nice to maybe add welcome water bottles in the room. "

"Clean room, although milk wasn’t in a fridge so tasted sour by the morning. Toiletries enough for one person not two. But smelt lovely. Breakfast wasn’t included in the price. It was £30 pp added on top or in the bar & grill £17.95 for a full English or £12.95 for avocado & egg on toast which is reasonable. Breakfast menu was quite basic but free range which was very nice. Service from all staff was very good, friendly, and attentive. Beautiful grounds and hotel. We didn’t use the spa or pool but it looked amazing. "

"excellent location, clean rooms."

"Our rooms on 7th floor were huge and clean. The staff were very friendly and professional. The bar area is very pleasant. The only real criticism was the bed, which was uncomfortable and extremely hard. Apparently the beds are fairly new! We enjoyed our stay at the Marriott but in all honesty I wouldn’t return because of the uncomfortable bed which has caused me considerable pain. "

"The check in guy remembered me, only stayed once before, that was nice Room clean, beds comfortable, everything you need in the room, a small fridge would be nice"

"Rooms need better soundproofing, the hotel is busy and noisy, which can be heard in the rooms."
