Channel View Hotel

Beautiful hotel very welcoming room lovely clean and warm staff very helpful and efficient and so polite. A good selection of food for breakfast and evening meal and plenty of entertainment my friend and I went for a line dancing weekend great fun would certainly recommend

Fantastic hotel. Staff are very helpful. Great breakfast. Will try to go back ASAP. This hotel is in a prime location, close to the beach short walk down the hill. We used the beach lift to get back up. Crazy golf looks like fun. Easy place tobtravelbround island. I would highly reccomended this hotel.

The room was small but pretty good with a nice view. The room with two chairs but only one suitcase holder - no place for second suitcase except on floor. The hotel had creaky floors. We could hear people walking overhead. The bathroom needs some scrubbing of the walls, shower, and tub. The breakfast was mediocre – no yogurt, no granola, and not much choice of fruit (only grapefruit or prunes). The hotel was quiet outside.

Lovely hotel, large spacious bedroom with magnificent sea views Met by John , Deputy manager , lovely guy, very helpful and friendly Waiting staff were top class as was the meals Would highly recommend this hotel Close to all amenities, fab shops etc.

I see that this hotel has some great reviews and I had to double check I wasn’t staying in the wrong hotel. The good stuff The hotel is in a great location. Parking was easy. It’s however not easy to get in. You have to climb 2 steep flights to get in or walk up a hill to get ramp access. The reception is ok and check in was quick. However it put my mind back to holidays in Blackpool 50 years ago. The hotel is picked up at 8pm with no staff. You are warned there is a £30 charge if you call to be let in if you forget the key. It’s a £200 a night 3 star hotel. I do not expect or appreciate the warning of what happens if I forget my key. I appreciate there is a cost if you forget but either provide a remote unlock or accept on occasion people may forget to take key. In 2024 it’s just not acceptable as far as I am concerned. The room we were allocated was very roomy. Light streaming in windows. I’d is for a sea view and yes you could see the see but the main window looked out onto roofs and a carpark. Again I expect to be able to look out of my main window and have the sea view in paying for. ( or at least mention it’s a side window sea view so I can make an informed decision). As I said the room was ok. It had carpet which showed some dirt and the paintwork could do withe being touched up but hey it’s a 3 star hotel so maybe I’m just a bit picky. What I’m definetly not picky about was the bed. I provide beds for a living and the matress in this room shouted CHEAP ECONOMY. JUST RUNNING YOUR HAND DOWN THE MATRESS YIU CAN FEEL THE SPRINGS. IT WAS THE MOST UNCOMFY MATRESS I HAVE EVER SLEPT ON. AS YOU TURNED IN BED YOU CAN FEEL EVERY SPRING. YUCK. I complained the next day when staff was available. The response was pathetic First an excuse that’s it’s a big hotel and there is a rolling refurn program. I’ve paid £800 and to be honest I don’t care about their problems. I think I’m entitled to a comfortable matress. I do t expect too of the range but certainly one where you can’t feel the springs. The receptionist , young as she is was rude and more bothered about explaining her problems than sorting mine. She suggested she could provide an extra quilt. I don’t want roasting I want a matress that doesn’t feel like you are laying on springs. I’ve asked her to inform management but I don’t expect my concerns to be addressed. I’ll repost if they are. Now onto breakfast. I’m not a fussy eater but the full English was unappetising and consisted in one bacon ne sausage. You pay £5 more if you want a big breakfast ( I would have wanted more of that breakfast for free) My wife only likes fruit in the morning. The only fruit available was full oranges. I asked if it was possible for them to make a fruit salad with yogurt, happy with standard ingredients. Refused as it’s not on the menu. In fairness he did bring a frozen pair and 2 kiwis. The didn’t have any bananas. Our waiter was young and pro

Stayed at this hotel recently for a four night stay as part of a coach tour. I liked the fact this hotel was old school with plenty of character. We had actual keys to use including a key to gain access after 20.00hrs. Some will say it needs a make over but I do not. Our room was very spacious and well maintained. Only downside was Wi-fi which kept disconnecting. Good enough for casual use. Staff brilliant in all departments being friendly and helpful. Food quality was variable. First night I had vegetable lasagna and last night had steak and ale pie for dinner. Excellent. The second and third nights I had the pork and chicken mains which was poor. Overall a good play to stay.
