Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Cumberland Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Cumberland Hotel enjoys a fantastic seafront location, perfect for accessing the beach and exploring the town, including its theatres and shopping centre, all within a short walk. Guests often praise the spacious and clean rooms, with some appreciating the hotel's Art Deco features and the comfortable lounge area where you can enjoy drinks with waterfront views. Breakfasts are generally considered very satisfactory, and the bar is appreciated for being readily available, though some guests have occasionally noted the need to bring their own toiletries, as the provided sachets are tiny.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

damp patches outdated furniture
The staff were helpful .
The room was very outdated with mismatched furniture and damp patches on the wall. The tv's last safety check was in 2022! My room wasn't properly cleaned every day. It was disappointing.

A reasonably good stay

ocean view buffet breakfast airy dining room old furniture shabby headboard no sockets
The single room was well-modernized. It also had fresh decor. I had a lovely ocean view. The buffet breakfast was excellent and set in a modernized, airy dining room.
The furniture looked very old. It looked like it had been repainted white several times. The headboard was shabby. there were no sockets nearby.
