This is a tacky hotel trying desperately to be a 'boutique style' hotel but without the style. The decor and furnishings in my room and in the restaurant are poor quality and the only consolation for me was the sea view. The quality of the bathroom was poor and the bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast on the second morning was a... More

We wanted a hotel at last minute for a romantic getaway! We searched online and found that Sandgate Hotel was very easy to book. Upon arrival we found the manager to be very polite and warming towards us, advising us that if we needed anything not to hesitate to ask him. Our room was very clean and very well decorated,...

I've stayed at the Sandgate a couple of times when visiting friends nearby. This time felt decidedly shabby and will be the last time I will be staying. The room wasn't ready at c. 4pm (when check in is supposed to be from 3pm) as only one housekeeper was on (apparently the teenagers who normally help weren't working or couldn't... More

We were concerned about the car parking,but we found the hotel has parking at the back for about three cars so we parked there if this is not possible you can park on the main road with no restrictions. Our room was at the rear over looking the car park which was handy, a lovely room nicely decorated, spotlessly clean,... More

We were welcomed by the manageress who was exceptional from start to finish. As were the rest of the staff. We arrived starving hungry just after the... More

We first walked in and were sent to an unmade room, so we were expecting the worst. As we were loading our belongings into the wardrobe for them to complete the room, we were stopped by a lovely young lady and moved straight to a room with sea views. From that moment on the experience was delightful. The staff were... More

First may I say the staff were very friendly after that this hotel has nothing to recommend it and should in my opinion be avoided. The hotel web site is at best misleading and at worst dishonest. The bar, hotel reception and dining are all the same place, on arrival I could not hear the staff nor they me and... More

Myself and my partner had found a great deal on the hotel through Booking .com. I read past reviews by people and was apprehensive about coming to the Hotel. When we arrived the staff were freindly and pleasant. Our room was lovely even though it was facing the back of the hotel. The room was clean and modern and the... More
