The Burlington Hotel

The Burlington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at The Burlington several times and always had a good experience. Friendly helpful staff, great location opposite the Pier and clean rooms. The hotel is obviously quite old and as such some parts can appear a bit worn but this is understandable. It overs good value in a great location would definitely stay again."
