Unfortunately there was little food available at lunch despite advertising a bar menu. Door to room wouldn't close without slamming obviously a common problem as doors everywhere slamming. Very noisy with people shouting and children running around the corridor. Best thing was location on sea front.

Happy

Stayed in the Annex as disabled family room was required and could not have asked for more. Spacious comfortable and had all the requirements that were needed for our wheelchair user. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was warm and clean with comfortable beds. Breakfast was lovely too.

4/10 Fair

Staff were excellent - very friendly - but bed very uncomfortable/bits of biscuits under both sides of the bed/had to put towel under tap as it wouldn’t stop dripping/looked like blood on the carpet - shabby paintwork/carpets etc/restaurant and food lovely so were the staff again - but upstairs needs renovating - felt like a contractors hotel rather than a seaside stay hotel. Views nice out to sea and the river. Wasn’t expensive but don’t think we’ll stay again!

This is a repeat visit. Staff are all geordies profess to be kind helpful and funny. Just love the area. We drove 315 miles to get here and worth it. On a negative note dont do their Sunday lunch its awful. Go and have fish and chips at Colemans

6/10 Good

Ok good food and even a early morning alarm call!!

All the staff we dealt with were terrific, helpful and friendly. Food was very good and value for the money. Unfortunately parts of the hotel are scruffy, we were in the annexe, the room was reasonable and clean, outside was very in need of a clean up with lots of rubbish in the car park and outside area. Parking for hotel customers is free and the hotel is handy for the beach and local amusements. The down side to our visit was the fire alarm went of& at 2.30 am and there’s no instructions on the door of the room or anywhere close by, this is illegal ! Disappointing no one explained why the fire alarm went off, we stood in the car park for at least 10 minutes and in the end we had to go into the hotel to find someone to do something about the alarm.

Great staff and location, room / bathroom poor

Staff excellent, helpful and atentive.. But... Room left much to be desired. Bathroom has had the celling re-plastered but not cleaned properly ties, floor and window covered in plaster... fixtures old and tired.. Bedroom, clean and freshly painted but several lights not working / broken, kettle tripped the fuse.. bed / mattress poor Location and feel of the place spot on!

The hotel rooms were in bad condition. I asked for a refund and was told no, I then asked for a partial refund and I was told the manager would get in touch with me but 3 weeks on I haven’t had a response. I would not recommend this hotel.
Claire, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Stayed in 206 … pros - big room … cons - very poor recent makeover. Just looked a bodge job. The worst was the old, blood stained and extremely uncomfortable mattress on the bed. We booked for two nights but only stayed for one.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Five Stars. First Class.

All the reviews that say that Sea Hotel is old, dated, unclean ARE ALL FAKE. I am very difficult to please but I found Sea Hotel exceptionally clean, new, fresh, refurbished. Comfortable mattress. New towels and linen. New plush carpet in my room. Neutral colours, white and grey. Refurbished bathroom. No dust anywhere in my room. Brand new shiny kettle. Sea Hotel South Shields is the best Hotel in the UK. Engaging with the staff was very pleasant at check in and check out. They used my name in talking to me which was very nice. Well done Sea Hotel.

Disappointed

We got no sleep due to people in rooms partying. Security called but not sure if they came. We went for a peaceful beach break and got the opposite. Very disappointing
