Sowton Hotels

"Nice quiet hotel, helpful staff."

"A"

"Lovely well equipped room, fantastic free breakfast. Just a shame a lorry pulled up outside my window very noisily delivering linen at 6am on a Sunday morning! "

"Staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Hotel is older, characterful building but has parking (on the expensive side) but good for central city. Unfortunately the lift was out of operation for our stay but they did contact us beforehand to let us know. Booked a standard double but was given a king, room was hot but able to turn radiator off and open the windows. Nice toiletries in the bathroom, could have done with the fan working. No fridge in the room but there was a safe, an iron & ironing board, hairdryer and kettle with tea/coffee supplied. Can't comment on the restaurant as we didn't eat there. Some things in need of refurb/update, curtains had small holes in them, window glazing was a little rickety, but overall would stay again. "

"Lovely pool and good size too"

"The bed sheets were too small for the bed, so I woke up with my head on the mattress directly. Also when we came to check in the staff were doing some admin and we had to stand there for 10 minutes while they completed it in front of us"

"Thought I’d booked a lodge git a room did get refunded a night. Had to spend a day killing time as I was given a room key with guests still in it so instead of relaxing in a front room I had to explore the area with my partner who’s just miscarried!!! Hence wanting a lodge then was told I had an upgraded room but it was twin beds put together and we were falling through the middle the staff were amazing but disappointed is an understatement and no where near compensated respectfully and was made to just accept it never ever again considering what I’d heard about the place the weekend and my partners recovery was beyond ruined"

"Only used the bar once, didn't have breakfast"

"The staff were helpful and friendly. The history of the hotel is interesting as it is a former WW1 Hospital. That said it is dated for that same reason. We did not eat ar the restaurant so no review there but we found the bar very blah. Its more of a counter with alcohol. They have very limited parking but there is a pay public car park nearby. We found most of the sites to be within walking distance byt as far as pubs, shopping, or restaurants in the immediate area there really isn't anything. The hitel is fine for a night if you are on a road trip but if you are looking for several nights I would probably pick someplace else"
