Old Aldeburgh
Excellent location, hotel has friendly attentive staff. The building is a little tired but the character very much suits Aldeburgh. Sache windows rattle a bit and make for difficult ventilation. Hotel room probably too warm for our comfort. Room and en suite were clean and equipped with everything we needed.

Check in was very good and organised. Room was generally good. Bathroom was clean and bed was comfortable. The only disappointment was the sea views wasn’t brilliant as the windows were dirty on the outside, and the exterior generally looked uncared for. Breakfast was very good.

Hotel was lovely, friendly staff. The was food was lovely and there was plenty of it. Great location on the beach. The only downside to the hotel was the bathrooms need updating. Shower is over a high bath. The water pressure was terrible, the shower was old. Mould round shower glass.

Curry-by-the-Sea
Beautiful location facing the sea, ideal for wind-blown walks along the coast. Decor is a little faded and parking was a bit of a pickle, but service was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and the adjacent Indian restaurant wonderful, as was the beer in the bar!

6/10 Good

Charming but expensive.
It is a rambling property with charm in a great location but in serious need of updating. The access was difficult with heavy bags and no one offered to help although we did not ask. The staff however were friendly and very polite. There was a capsule-type lift that went part of the way up to one of the floors, a strange structure. The water from the taps in the room was not of drinking quality, although a bottle of water was supplied. Our room was tiny, with a very small bath with shower over. Breakfast was provided and was adequate, we have had better elsewhere. Overall, adequate but overpriced.

6/10 Good

Good location. Hotel a little old fashioned.
We had a standard room. It was clean but perhaps needed updating, as did the public areas in the hotel. Hotel is a good location on the front and we were lucky to get a parking space. We had told the hotel in advance that I’m allergic to animals and therefore didn’t want a pet friendly room. Unfortunately they didn’t have any note of this. Breakfast was fine although it was a little strange on the written menu that it had underlined that you could only have “one” choice. Eg if you have something cooked you couldn’t have a croissant or cereal. I appreciate that hotels don’t want wastage but this seemed a little mean.

4/10 Fair

This hotel charges Londons west end prices but does not give the service you would expect. They may have non complaining customers due to is location and uppper class aging clinentel. The hotel boasts an In house Indian restaurant. On my first night i orderd a meal and i can honestly say it was the worst i have ever had and the most expensive. Most was from a packet, the chicken had been water induced, the sauce was week. The whole meal was non authentic. I hate complaining but when i did to the manager all i got was the responce ' But the chef is from Kathmandu?.no apology was offered , he was in fact aghast that i had compalined and said he would get back to me, which he did not. When i checked out the following day i was met with the same poor eccuse from the duty manager she also said i will get back to you. 24 hours on and no responce .Overall lack of responce from the managers is appaling, as is the food and the hygine. Eg smears on cutlery and glasses. I therefore do not recommend this hotel unless you are ok with sky high charges, poor hygine, and bad managment. I was at one stage expecting Basil Faulty to make an appearance. I would imagine now i am posting this they will respond. Lets see.

Great location for exploring Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coast. Very pleasant bar and restaurant areas. The Sea Spice Indian restaurant was particularly enjoyable. It’s an old building so there’s lots of stairs and at the time of writing the lift is out of service. The bedroom we occupied was small and comfortable for a short break, but the bathroom was a little dated. However, overall we felt it was good value and we would be happy to stay here again in the future.
