Excellent staff. Good food. Good location. Comfy bed. Good room with excellent sea facing balcony. My only concern was the old fashioned Internet WiFi system which uses a system that regularly failed in our room.

Seaside Hotel with great views!

Our bedroom was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. One more chair would have made even nicer to be able for both to look out to the sea! The bistro needs a little revamping as it lacks atmosphere . Oilcloth table cloths are a nono

My go to hotel

This is our go to hotel when we want a quick breakaway and arniston hotel never disappoints. For years now the hotel staff and service are consistent. The breakfast buffet everything you can wish for, the turndown service and the friendly smiles. I will return again and again. Maritza Wilson

Matthias

Liked: Staff & service
- we were quite disappointed as this hotel is never a 4.4 on an average rating - last renovations feel like of the mid 80s - no outside window in the bathroom. Thus, it is quite dark in it and not cozy - It is called Spa Hotel but you can only use the sauna if you book another treatment and it is only until 6pm… - WiFi 1GB limitation and one key per device feels outdated (and no one tells you that you should keep the code as it expires after some hours…) - some spots in the hotel and room could be cleaner (if you look at the details, e.g. window frames in the breakfast outdoor area) large rooms friendly staff ocean view calm affordable much fruit for breakfast

STAY AWAY!!!

Terrible. We were in room 106 and it was not functional. The front door didn't lock. The electrical would turn off and some lights might go on and off. The toilet had a siren sound when you flushed. We told the manager about this and he and his crew were in our room for an hour, unable to fix the electrical problems. They were very nice and responsive, but unable to fix the problem. They said they would let the manger know and the manager would contact us in the morning. We met him as we were leaving and he was surprised and offered nothing but continued apologies.

The food is very bad. Only frozen fish, no fresh oysters, the sea and Harbour 50 meters away. Old supermarket bread and harsh butter in plastic for dinner. It used to be good, now it was the only bad experience we had on our three weeks round trip.
