Midland Hotel

Classic hotel. The 80’ 5*. Great view from room 222. Nonetheless the room is outdated. The elevator is ages old. Good for short stay. The location is superb with walking distance to Morrisons and Aldi. Great breakfast and environment.

RIP The Midland Hotel. This hotel used to be smart, stylish and elegant. It is now in a poor state of repair, there is no proper reception desk and now looks cheap. The once stylish dining room is now filled with mismatched pub style tables and chairs. It feels more like a Wetherspoons than a stylish dining room. Cheap tables and chairs are on the lawn outside. One of these tables was occupied by a man who could barely walk as he was so drunk. He staggered past us in the restaurant, sat down outside, dropped his phone then urinated on himself, the grass and his phone. The food in the restaurant was nice but not the same standard it used to be. Very expensive given the pub style feel. Cheap looking chairs and tacky barrel style tables outside the rotunda bar. We didn’t bother going in the bar and we didn’t stay for breakfast, we didn’t want any more disappointment. It looks as if the windows haven’t been cleaned for months, the whole exterior needs painting, there is damaged render in numerous places and large chunks of broken plaster dumped on a balcony. This is a listed building but it appears the new owners don’t care about that and they are just trading off the former glory and reputation of the Midland. The new owners should be ashamed of themselves. We heard a number of people commenting on how the hotel has been ruined. My husband and I have visited this hotel so many times and it has been fabulous every time, until now. I’m very sad to say we won’t be going back

Scaffolding & noisy ongoing work spoilt the occasion to which we treated ourselves on this relatively expensive stay. If we had known about the intrusive work or been informed about it we would have either rescheduled our stay, not booked it or gone elsewhere. A lovely hotel, but our visit and at breakfast looking through scaffolding was not what I paid for

Lovely property with onsite parking, well positioned with beautiful views of the sea. Staff friendly and helpful, although some could be better presented. Would certainly stay again

Spectacular views A great stay at an iconic hotel, small signs of maintenance required but did not detract from the ambiance. We had a superior room with balcony overlooking the sea and oh what a spectacular view and the weather was in blue sky and sunshine mode. The service from checking in, restaurant and check out was warm, friendly and efficient. Well cooked and tasty choices in the menu. Overall a great experience.

Loved that the front desk remembered us from our trip two years ago. And they accommodated our request for early check in. The property needs a bit of cosmetic TLC. Otherwise we will return again.
