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.

Wonderful Stay Experience

ample space cleanliness helpful staff ideal location
The room featured ample space, cleanliness, and comfort. Staff members were personable and helpful. They always offered greetings at reception. They also assisted promptly with room provisions. The location proved ideal with a convenient bus stop nearby. Harbour access was easy, and the beach was directly across the street.
The room became quite warm at night. I discovered a fan in the wardrobe later. I should have reported this sooner.

Breakfast included many choices. The staff cooked it to order, and it was delicious. A larger cup for coffee would be a great addition. The hotel provides a bar, though it is open only at mealtimes.

Stay Had Issues

stained wallpaper missing paint
The room was clean and spacious which met my needs.
The corridors looked worn. Wallpaper had stains and looked 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.
