The room was ok, but for the whole week we stayed there was no interaction with anyone. Self check-in via a hard to find kiosk & not a staff member in sight through the day. We stayed 6 nights & the room was serviced once. The meals at the attached hotel were overpriced & overcooked & the bar staff couldn’t rate customer service as one of their strong points. We were disappointed & won’t stay here again.

We booked a 1 bedroom double story apartment for 5 nights. The apartment was very good, with a full kitchen, and was part of a hotel/pub and was well located, close to the beachfront. The only issue we had was when it rained (very heavily) the floor to ceiling windows had not been sealed properly, so quite a bit of water entered the ground floor lounge area. Staff provided towels for us to put on the floor, but it is obviously an ongoing issue for them. Apart from that, we had a good stay, and the meals at the pub restaurants were very good. Location-wise there was a large cinema opposite the hotel, and plenty of varied dining options just around the corner.

My experience at The Waterloo Bay Hotel was overall okay. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a convenient location. The room was clean and functional, but it could use some updates to enhance comfort. While it met basic expectations, a few small improvements, such as a more comfortable bed, would elevate the experience. The on-site dining options were Ok, and the atmosphere was relaxed. It's a reasonable choice if you're looking for a straightforward and affordable stay.

Not allowing check-in an hour early wasn’t a big deal, but there’s only one bed prepared despite there being three people. To make matters worse, it rained last night, and I discovered my clothes were soaked. I double-checked the window and found it was closed properly, yet somehow the rain still got in!

The room and its location was very good. There were three problems. 1. Because of the way the power points were fixed to the wall, I couldn't plug in my CPAP machine. 2. I couldn't access the hotel wi fi. 3. There was no number provided for the duty manager.
