The breakfast was the best I've had in any hotel. It's a plentiful buffet with hot items and high quality ingredients, worth the stay alone.

Don't be put off by the lack of parking. £8 for a day is cheap, especially in the UK.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Ardington Hotel enjoys a superb location, being just a stone's throw from restaurants and the beach promenade, with Steyne Gardens practically on the doorstep. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring large double beds and convenient kettles for morning coffee. Many find the rooms clean and bright, some overlooking the gardens; though a few guests have noted that the decor feels a bit dated in places. Moreover, the hotel is well-suited for events, offering excellent service and a great atmosphere for gatherings.

The water in the shower was scalding hot. Parking was limited. It was difficult to find a space on the road.

The room was very clean. I really appreciated how easy it was to use the shower and there was a good selection of bathroom products. The hotel offered a generous selection of beverages and snacks.

The free wifi was a big disappointment. I read that the wifi was good enough for video conferencing but I couldn't even open Google from my room. Vodafone 4G reception was also near non existent in my room.
