What guests think

Across the reviews, Ocean Beach Hotel is described as a budget, older-style motel near the beach with friendly staff, clean basic rooms, decent parking, and on-site dining, offering good value for short, no-frills stays.

Common drawbacks include dated units, no in-room microwave and awkward kettle filling, patchy Wi-Fi/TV, and some rooms feeling cold. A few guests reported noise from the public bar or road at night and occasional lapses such as unwashed items or a damp smell. Expect a simple, affordable base close to the beach with pub conveniences rather than a modern, full-service hotel.

The units are 1960 vintage, but clean & tidy. They are adjacent to a large untidy public bar [1960 booze bar style] which seemed to attract a noisy crowd on Friday & Saturday nights that I was there. However all fairly quiet by midnight.

Was a good affordable place to stay. Just a couple of things but nothing serious, you dont have an allocated park so people who are in the bar can park right outise your room so you have to park down a wee bit further. Also our t.v wouldnt work properly. It kept trying to connect to netflix while watching tv then once it was off it would turn on randomly. Other than that i would recommended this place. The bar staff were friendly and the cleaners were wounderful.

Good budget option. Has a bar on-site if you like a quiet drink alongside locals. Beach within minutes proximity to location, short commute to shops, clean and tidy. Worth a look if you have a tight budget

Overall, we were very happy with the stay. I found a stain and hair on the bed cover when we checked in, if anything negative. Otherwise the bathroom was clean and there is nothing to complain about. Close to beach and shops.

Located near the beach. Easy to get to and well equiped room. Very clean and comfortable. The shower curtain is half an inch too short so water got on the floor easily and the plug in hand basin flips itself shut so I did have an overflowing sink in a moment of distraction

This is not a Hotel. It’s a pub with some Rooms. It was very noisy from the pub but also from the road. Boyracers most of the night. Bed looked liked it was not changed and the draw with cutlery was dirty. All together very unloved. If I would have known the pub situation I as a single woman would have not stayed there specially not for that price

This hotel is basic but had everything we needed. Rooms were extremely clean and it was nice to have our rooms refreshed for the second night (which doesn’t seem to happen much with more than one night booked) For the price, it’s clean with hot showers. Just what you need after a day of travelling or exploring.
