Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Arniston Spa Hotel offers a memorable stay with many highlighting the excellent breakfast and spacious rooms. Located steps away from the beach, it is also close to attractions and offers amenities like a lovely spa and even hotel bikes for exploring. Guests appreciate the views, and some were especially delighted by upgrades to suites featuring balconies and multiple levels; however, a few guests have noted that the mattresses could be more comfortable. The hotel provides a delightful experience with attention to detail, such as turndown service and complimentary sherry.
