Due to the low price and other guests' negative reviews, we expected the worst and were very pleasantly surprised. Clean and cozy. Kids liked the unique lemur wallpaper. The property could use some updating but I wouldn't v want to stay at an updated property that was more expensive. Also we had a view of the pier and ocean from our room.

After reading several bad reviews on Fawlty Towers we were extremely pleased with our room. It was lovely and clean and our kids thought the microwave and mini fridge were excellent. The staff were really friendly & the room was just what we needed for our one night. Quirky, cute little hotel, perfect for a break Away from home! If I had to find something to say, I’d suggest different bath mats & maybe a couple Of cups in the bathroom for water? Thanks for a lovely stay 😛

I didn’t have high expectations having read some reviews and was drawn by the novelty of the name, and it being minutes from my main destination, as well as the seafront. However, I had a great one night stay. Beforehand, I asked if I could leave my bike my room, as I was visiting for a triathlon. No problem at all, and most accommodating and even gave me a downstairs room to make it easier leaving very early next morning. I arrived a couple of hours before my official check in time, but was given the key to the room no problem. Yes, the décor was a bit dated, but my room was clean, tidy and well-stocked, including with fridge and microwave. Others have talked about noise – if there was any, it certainly didn’t wake me up. and I had the window open. Pleasantly surprised, and I’d happily stay again.

Bathroom was clean an the towels/bin change was spot on.Fridge an microwave was a bonus. The location is ideal for cinema/arcades /various eating places all within nice walking distance . The drawer/cupboards could gave been cleaner in corners . Room was adequate but the bedding comfort quality could have been much better was poor in my opinion for that room .

The hotel over all needs a lot of work,out front needs a good clean up as rather messy and old, room was warm enough but tv hardly worked, hole in bathroom ceiling, and lots of noise from outside at night, only had breakfast one morning as went elsewhere other days, but it was pretty standard, the colour changing lights in the room were fun, but beds were rather hard and top bunk rail was loose,with a lot of diy it could be way better,however its in a great location right next to shops,the beach,and amusements, not as bad as i read in reviews but needs a lot doing

The say was only good for its location. We got put in a family room with an active 5 year old with a few damaged things so I was not very happy when saw them.

The hotel had a dog like dirty smell and the beds were very uncomfortable. The WiFi didn't work at all despite being advertised everywhere and only 2 channels out of about 100 received a signal on the Freeview built into your room TV despite re-tuning. The hotel is in a very rough area, groups of hooded youths were always within close proximity in a neighboring street and could be seen and heard acting aggressively and throwing/breaking things. We were also hassled for cigarettes by random dodgy people roaming the streets outside the hotel at 3am and witnessed a full blown fight at half past 4.

Absolutely filthy, me and kids got bitten, found fleas, someone was walking round with a kitten, ceiling fan looked like it was falling down! Cracks in ceiling, pulled back too bed sheet to find another bed sheet with poo smeared! Wee stains.. holes in curtains, cat paw print yellow marks on bunk bed, was vile never coming back.. didn’t get no sleep what so ever and staff barely around just gave us key and that was it didn’t see or hear from them after.. not safe for a family..

We arrived & my friend went into Fawlty Towers & was appalled at state of kitchen & asked to use w.c & If she hadn’t been desperate would have changed her mind as it was dirty & smelly. She was told our room had a leak & was out of use so they (Patricia?) would arrange alternative accommodation. When we arrived later at the Villa Rose we were dismayed to find we had a double room & not a twin room as we had booked. We called Fawlty Towers who said there was nothing else available & abruptly put the phone down on us. We are both in our mid 70’s & each have health conditions that give us disturbed sleep. Can you imagine us both trying to get to sleep whilst sharing a bed! Sleep was impossible.

I went to Yarmouth for a little get away for 4 night with my partner, after reading several bad reviews we kinda half expected the worst. We turned up at this disgusting location for us to be greeted with ‘what do you want’ so from our first Impressions we already knew it wasn’t gonna be a good experience. We went into our room for it to look vile and smell like weed. The hand sanitiser things were constantly empty which I didn’t like and no one wore masks after stating that even tho masks are voluntary everyone is required to still wear their masks. They kept coming into our room without our permission and on our last night we returned back to our room after a lovely time in the city for our bathroom to absolutely stink of fried chicken, it was like someone went into our room and sat on the toilet eating a takeaway. Constantly made us feel uneasy and all this lady cared about was the money, she never ever said Goodmorning to us, it was always ‘don’t forget to pay on your last day’. They also stated very clearly that they only accept card payment only so she made me walk 15 mins to the next cash point machine. Most people wouldn’t just left and not paid if they got told that and not ever we went out of our way to get cash out with all of our belongings we didn’t even get a Thankyou. DO NOT STAY HERE! Don’t make the same mistake we did.
