Others, however, praised the cleanliness and space of their rooms with some even stating that their bathrooms were impressive.

Some even noted unpleasant smells or stains in the rooms. Overall, it seems that while the hotel offers some nice rooms and amenities, some improvements need to be made to ensure a more consistent and satisfying experience for guests.

Beds

The beds at Suncliff Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION have been a mixed bag for guests with some finding them extremely comfortable while others have had a less than restful night's sleep. Many guests have praised the spacious rooms and cozy bedding, but some have been disappointed with the uncomfortable mattresses and pillows. There have also been complaints of double beds being made up of two singles pushed together or single beds sloping to one side, causing discomfort. While the quality of the bedding seems to be hit or miss, guests can look forward to a lovely breakfast during their stay.

Cleanliness

Overall, the cleanliness of the Suncliff Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION seems to be a mixed bag. While some guests describe the hotel as spotlessly clean and the cleaners as friendly and helpful, others report dirty rooms, carpets and even a smelly corridor. Several guests noted peeled and peeling wallpaper and some describe the hotel as dated and grubby.

However, some guests noted that the pool could use a revamp and lacks a sitting area, making it ideal for quick dips. The lovely pool area is complemented by gym facilities and a sauna. While the pool was reserved for children's lessons at times, guests still enjoyed taking a dip in both indoor and outdoor pools. Some guests even praised the hotel's use of pools in its neighboring hotels as a great selling point. Despite needing some attention, the indoor pool was described as amazing, though others noted that the outdoor pool was a bit chilly. Overall, the pool at the Suncliff Hotel provides a nice addition to the lovely bar and restaurant area.

Beach

Suncliff Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION is a hotel with a nice location overlooking the sea. It's close to the beach, providing easy access to the beautiful views of the beach. Guests can see the beach from the hotel and it's just a 10-minute walk to the beach and town. However, some guests found the location misleading as it's quite a distance from the beach with a long walk down the zig zag and a really hard walk back up. Nonetheless, the great location overlooking the sea makes it a great spot to be by the sea. The hotel also offers accommodation suitable for guests with disabilities, as one guest shared a positive experience negotiating a refund and finding an alternative accommodation with the help of a wonderful lady from the hotel. Overall, the hotel's location and access to the beach make it a nice choice for a beach getaway.

Parking

Guests of the Suncliff Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION have expressed mixed reviews about the parking situation at the hotel. Some have found it to be a real challenge with limited spaces and building work causing problems, while others found parking to be a nightmare or a disgrace. Disabled guests note there are no dedicated disabled parking spaces. Although some guests managed to find spaces in the back car park, others had to resort to parking on the road. Those who booked through certain websites were charged an additional fee for parking, which was unexpected and expensive. However, some guests were pleased to find free parking on offer. The cost of parking is not included in the room rate and in some cases, parking was difficult to locate. Unfortunately, some guests have also reported incidents of theft from their parked cars.

Family

If you're looking for a family-friendly hotel, the Suncliff Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION could be a great option. Though some guests found the rooms to be small or unsuitable for wheelchairs, many praised the hotel for being accommodating to families with kids. However, some guests did note that children were running around and knocking on doors late at night, so keep that in mind if you have young children who are light sleepers. While some guests were disappointed by the lack of gluten-free and dairy-free breakfast options, others found the breakfast to be perfectly adequate. Overall, the Suncliff Hotel seems to be a great place to stay if you're traveling with kids - the family rooms with sea views were particularly popular and several reviewers noted that their children enjoyed their stay.

3 Star

Suncliff Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION provides basic accommodations at a great value for money with a fantastic location. If you're looking for luxury, this might not be the place for you as some areas of the hotel are a little dated and in need of a major overhaul and refurbishment. However, it's still a nice hotel and compared to the nearby Premier Inn, it's a steal. Despite some smelly corridors and small, old-fashioned rooms with no air conditioning, guests would recommend staying here for the affordable price and prime location. While the breakfast room can get busy and slightly disorganized, the hot food isn't great and the setup with toast and cereal can be messy, it's passable considering the price point. Overall, it's a good option for those seeking a basic hotel in a desirable location.
