A bit of a horror show, especially around the bathroom: 1. Shower head’s pipe leaking=no pressure 2. Shower head mounting broken 3. Shower curtain full of holes(quite gross) Overall cleanliness also lacking and bed is uncomfortable also. Has been my second time here, and would prefer not to go back until they fix these basics.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Disappointing.

We had stayed here a long time ago, so we’re disappointed that our standard studio was tired, with chipped countertop & furniture, and in need of a good scrub from the top of the microwave top, to window frames, to the vinyl floor edges, and net curtains were torn. Room amenities listed are incorrect - no full-sized fridge/freezer (an influence in choosing this accommodation), it was under-bench-size; no fan; no DVD player; and the couch sinks towards the middle. The shower listed is over a corner bath (is that the private hot tub listed??). The kitchenette is sparsely appointed with mismatched mugs, no side plates, a two-burner electric cooktop, and 3 pots (no pans), + a microwave. The check in seemed rushed with no chat until she replied to us to be polite. Check out similar. We won’t be recommending this place unless the cleaning & maintenance improves.

Okay, good sized unit but worn out

A good sized unit for a large group, but is getting worn. Needs refurbishing. Still tidy and relatively clean but elements of worn carpet, lifting bathroom fixtures. Certainty not a 4 star quality

It had a lot of space which made it easy for a wheelchair to get around. The walk in shower was awesome. The water drained away and didnt go everywhere when you had a shower. Also the bed wasnt too high so it made it easy for someone in a wheelchair to get on the bed. Definitely recommend.

We spent three nights there and absolutely loved it. Our experience was fantastic, and we appreciated everything about the place. Although it isn't new, they have done a great job maintaining it. The service was excellent. We originally booked for five people but changed our reservation at the last minute. We informed the staff, so I only paid for the four of us and kept the same family room I booked. It is very convenient and closer to the Splash Planet. I recommend this hotel to anyone planning to go for a holiday in Hasting.
