Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about Harbourside Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently appreciate the Harbourside Hotel's convenient location near the train station and shops, with some mentioning the ice cream shop next door and the beach within a short walk. The inclusion of a welcome basket with porridge, biscuits, and other treats is a frequently highlighted positive, as is the presence of a microwave and fridge in the rooms. While the comfortable beds are a plus for most, a few guests found them to be too firm. The availability of family studios with a kitchenette is also viewed as a great value, especially for those looking for a practical stopover.

mediocre stay

out-of-date biscuits shower mold lack of bar
the room included a fridge, acceptable.
The out-of-date biscuits were a nice touch.. of irony. i also noticed some mold in the shower. Perhaps a little bleach is in order. finally, the lack of a bar was disappointing.
