Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Dilkhusa Grand Hotel By Compass Hospitality from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Dilkhusa Grand Hotel is often praised for its spacious and clean rooms, with some guests specifically enjoying the bay window rooms that offer ample space. The hotel's location is a definite plus, with convenient access to the beach, harbour, and even a bus stop right outside for trips to Barnstaple; it's also within walking distance to places like Wetherspoon for dining. While some guests have mentioned the building's exterior may look dated, the hotel offers good value for money, though a few found the windows could use better cleaning to fully enjoy the sea view.

I found a quiet lounge area with books and games. the hotel sits across from a hill that leads to the coastal path (so cool!). helen, the waitress, was friendly. She seemed to love her job.

Stay Had Issues

clean roomstained wallpapermissing paint
The room was clean and spacious which met my needs.
The corridors looked worn. Wallpaper had stains and was dull. The general condition of the hotel was not well maintained. The windows needed repainting and door repairs lacked a finished look as filler was visible but not repainted.

The staff was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble I found the service to be excellent. The meals were also very good I enjoyed my time. The location is great and less than ten minutes from the village.
My shower intermittently pulsed hotter or colder water for a couple of minutes before settling down.
