I stayed at the Roker overnight recently. I arrived after a much delayed journey at about 10.15 in the evening. The welcome could not have been better and by about 10.30 I was tucked up in my room with some much needed sandwiches and a glass of wine. Breakfast, the next morning, was excellent, served in a lovely room with... More

I stay here when working in Sunderland. My experience is that I can have a very pleasurable stay, if I am very clear what I want in advance. I've now stayed four times. The first time I stayed I was given a back room looking out onto noisy ventilation shafts, and the wifi did not work. After some discussion (the... More

Stayed here as part of a group stay in late April for one night. Our party had the thai restaurant booked for a party and hot buffet. The food for the buffet was nice with plenty of choice. The hotel rooms were nice enough and clean and bed was comfortable. Would have liked more towels, as there was only one... More

This is a very clean friendly hotel with staff that will do anything for you. Great breakfast and the view from our second room no 126 was excellent (avoid room 130 - too hot for some unexplained reason). The locals (my first visit here) are very friendly and what a lovely beach with walks along a well maintained promenade, beach... More

Stayed in the Roker for two nights in April. First was sleepless - even though outside there were 5 degrees tops, my room felt like Bangkok in April with the heating off and window open (this didn't help much as it faced a tiny courtyard and so there was absolutely no air flow). No idea why it was that way... More

Room was at the end of the hotel, and so small that you almost got into bed as you opened the door. Not enough room to swing a cat. Room above seemed like they were moving furniture around at midnight. Breakfast was not good, bacon very thin and greasy, hash brown cremated. More
