What guests think

At Nightcap at Sandringham Hotel, travellers highlight a convenient location near the beach, shops, and train, friendly staff, and comfortable, good-value rooms with bay views for some, while noting stairs-only access, occasional noise, and mixed cleanliness or maintenance.

Several guests enjoyed the pub downstairs and complimentary drink or meal discounts, though breakfast is not offered and menu choice felt limited to some. Parking was straightforward with free spaces nearby. Overall, it suits short, value-focused stays in a lively setting.

I loved the location, dining options, comfortable bed, view, complimentary items in the minibar, and the free drink and meal discount at the bistro downstairs. The only downside was the number of stairs to walk up in the accommodation.

Great location - across the road from the beach. Neat and tidy accommodation for a 2-night stay to attend a wedding. Dinner at the pub downstairs was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Loved the convenience for a nearby function we were attending. Receptionist was super friendly and informative. The room was comfortable and perfect for our short stay. Rooms are above the restaurant and bar and slightly noisy with people coming and going but very quiet once the venues closed for the night.

Loved being able to see the bay and the many things going on in the streets around the hotel. Really enjoyed the food at the hotel The stairs to the rooms are pretty steep and difficult to drag your suitcase up them. Not good for those more elderly or disabled. Need a lift. Unfortunately the people in the 2 rooms on either side of us didn’t stop talking and their doors banging closed as they visited each other to after 4 in the morning so sleep very lacking. Also the queen bed was too soft

Great area and we liked the easy access to the waterfront plus food options. BUT this property needs a whole lot of love to come up to higher standard. Especially a good spring clean, attention to aircon and some general updating overall for the accommodation. Alas, not a place we'll stay at again.
