Top Norman Lockyer Observatory Hotel Reviews

Royal York and Faulkner Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely ‘old fashioned’ seafront hotel - absolutely wonderful and very quirky. Our room (19) was large with a sort of anti chamber with the tea and coffee table and a Kirby iron press. We had a kingsize bed and a single bed so it must have been a family room. The view from the window was amazing, directly in front of the sea. Some rooms had balconies at the front. Lovely chairs in the window to sit and watch the world go by. Bathroom well appointed with very hot water - shower over the bath. The hotel itself has numerous lounges and we spotted a games room too. There’s a spa but we only stayed one night and no time to check it out. We had B&B booked but actually had dinner in the evening which was ok but a little on the dull side - roast beef served with roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, parsnips, small Yorkshire, pale green cabbage - bland to look at and ditto breakfast - There’s the option of half board which includes an afternoon tea. The staff were all superb from reception to the wonderful and patient waiters in the restaurant - 5* The hotel was full as I think there were some package coach trips but this was not a problem as everyone was catered for very well and things ran like clockwork! We only live 30 minutes away - we had booked for one night to surprise an elderly relative who had booked a weeks holiday there - but in all honestly I would love to stay again just for the experience again!"

Balfour Arms

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend staying here. Everything was excellent, and we had a lovely breakfast, too. Very good value."

The Belmont Hotel - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Great location, right on the seafront. Staff are absolutely lovely. Hotel is very clean and seems to be freshly decorated, although in a rather dated style that perhaps caters more to the average age of the clientele. Breakfast is served at the table, rather than a buffet. The hotel suggests a jacket and tie in the restaurant for dinner, so it’s quite formal. Room was super clean and the bathroom bright, clean and clinical. Bed was very soft and bouncy. It was a very pleasant stay but, despite being in my 50s, I couldn’t help feeling that we were lowering the average age by about 20 years."
