George, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel has a great location on the seafront yet near to restaurants and bars in town . Staff were lovely. Our room however, although clean really needed the furniture updating. It was also far too hot but on request we were pleased to have a fan provided which helped. It was great to have a side sea view. We didn’t eat there but the bar service was good.
Marie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was basic but very clean. Staff were excellent!
Ken, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were brilliant. There was renovation work going on in the hotel next door which caused noise. Because of the age of the hotel there were some very creaky floorboards, both in our room and the room above us.
Gill, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel staff cannot do enough for you, very friendly and efficient. My room was basic, but thats what i paid for. Clean and fresh room, with beach view, plenty big enough for 1 person, which is what i booked. Thankful to all staff, and that there is a lift, as i was on the 4th floor! Perfect stay and great range of breakfast! Many thanks to all at the Cumberland!😁
Perfect space for single visitors
Telly and fan too!

Bernadette, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Good stay

Good location for the seafront and town. Good condition and friendly staff
Matt, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I have mobility problems and my friend and I were put on the fourth floor. Unfortunately the bathroom was so small the toilet was stuck between the toilet roll and the shower with hardly any room to move so I couldn't use the shower also the width between the wall and shower was the size of the wash basin. I think my hall cupboard was bigger than that bathroom. The actual bedroom was ok but very hot being at the top of the building. Would not like to stay in that room for more Thane one night.
Jenny, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We enjoyed the close proximity to the waterfront and city centre. All staff were very nice and helpful. However the interior of the property requires updating. While we recognize the properties historical significance, the rooms require modernization, bathrooms are small, poor air circulation (felt stuffy) with no fan or ac, window screen to keep bugs out. The bed linens and bath linens were low quality, would have been nice to have a hand towel or face cloths. Small changes would have improved the experience, especially given the location opportunity.
Carson, 1-night trip

Great location, friendly staff
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything was great , even got a free upgrade from single to double room , only downside was a noise i think from a boiler or water system every 30 seconds or so that made sleeping more difficult , maybe i got an unlucky room
