Guest reviews

What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

The Grand Burstin Hotel draws mixed reviews: travellers praise its harbour-front location, sea views, budget prices and nightly entertainment, but many report dated interiors, intermittent hot water and maintenance issues, noise, and limited paid parking that often fills quickly.

I had previously messaged the hotel to ask if my cycle could be locked up overnight but they never replied. When I arrived after cycling 71 miles from Canterbury, I found that my room 1508 was on the 1st floor and the lift wasn't working, so carried the cycle and panniers upstairs. Had my messages been read they may have given me a ground floor room? I had a shower and was starting to feel relaxed but it didn't last long, as I then lifted the toilet seat to be greeted by several stools from a previous occupant. The whole hotel is fairly tatty. I did however sleep quite well. It cost me £63 for the night, so I'd expect better.

Pros: The room was very clean and had all the bits and bobs you need ( hair dryer, fan, iron, tea making stuff, tv and a fridge). The hotel also provided a travel cot for our baby. The room had a great sea view. The hotel it self is interesting, a bit run down and rough round the edges. There was live entertainment in the “ballroom” every night, which was cringy in an amusing way. The location is excellent. The room price was very reasonable (mid week). It is a budget hotel not a luxury one. Negatives: the front desk is very understaffed, we wanted to extend our stay and had to queue at reception, only to then be told we had to book via a phone attached to the wall. When we used the phone we were quoted £10 more than hotels.com. We then had to queue for another 20mins to get new key cards. There was only 1 receptionist for a hotel with hundreds of rooms. The pool was pleasant enough but you have to pay £4 each every single time you use it (even as a paying guest at the hotel). I think that’s a bit cheeky and I’ve never experienced that in a hotel before. They could at least add a single charge to your room for a pool pass instead. We didn’t have breakfast as I thought it was a little over priced. Over all we enjoyed staying there and will definitely be returning.
