Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Esplanade is frequently praised for its fabulous location near the prom, making it a stone's throw away from both the beach and town. Guests often enjoy rooms with sea views, some featuring high ceilings and unique decor, like nautical blues, and generous hospitality trays. Breakfast receives positive mentions for its lovely spread, including hot options with perfectly cooked eggs; however, some guests have found the rooms to be somewhat dated compared to online pictures. The hotel's proximity to amenities and good value are also commonly highlighted.

The location was pretty good. It's hard to argue with being close to the sea.

our double room private bathroom was quite a letdown. the bathroom door stuck and it was hard to get in and out without a struggle. i almost felt trapped. not a relaxing experience

The staff was helpful. The breakfast had superb quality and choice. Our room had beautiful furniture. It was spacious with amazing sea views (I especially liked waking up to the sunrise!). The whole guest house was beautifully decorated. It was also very clean.

The room was smaller than expected. It was a little cramped with my dog, but it was manageable for a few days.
