The Emsworth Hotel

Larger bathroom with bigger shower would have been good. Beds were quite soft.

Our room was very hot on arrival due to the exceptionally hot weather but the windows could be opened fully to get a draught through. It would have been useful to have a fan provided in the room but it was cool enough to sleep.

No fridge/mini bar.

Slight issue with the heat and no air con but a fan was provided

Nothing

Everywhere was extremely hot. The beds had winter weight duvets on which made sleeping impossible.

I’ve stayed at The Emsworth before and it’s usually the first place I look for whenever I need to stay in the area. Unfortunately, this stay wasn’t a great experience and, for the price point, I really don’t think the experience matches what you’re paying. 4/10.

I was staying in “The Lodge”, which is two doors down from the main hotel. This was my first gripe as breakfast is served in the main building. It meant leaving The Lodge and walking down the road in my comfies with leave-in conditioner in my hair, which isn’t exactly how I want to present myself to the general public first thing in the morning! The restaurant is now also open to the public, which I completely understand is great for the business, but it was very busy at breakfast and I felt quite self-conscious walking through like that.

Breakfast looked really well presented, but unfortunately the sausages were horrible. They had a strange, grainy texture and I ended up leaving the breakfast altogether, which was disappointing.

The room itself felt tired and generally uncomfortable. The carpets could do with a thorough vacuum and clean, and the hallway also looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed for a while.

With the unusually hot weather we’ve been having, I think the rooms would really benefit from fixed air conditioning/heating. I had to sleep with the window open because of the heat, but being on a main road meant dealing with traffic noise throughout the night.

Unfortunately, the sleep itself was probably a 2/10. I found both the mattress and pillows extremely uncomfortable. In fairness to the staff, I’m sure they may have been able to do something about the pillows had I asked.

The bathroom is very basic and the shower drainage was extremely slow. By the end of my shower I was standing in a pool of my own shower water, which wasn’t particularly pleasant.

I would have liked the option of a sheet and blanket or a very light weight duvet. A heavy diver was no use in the heatwave! I was fine in a quiet room but would not have liked a room at the front on the quite busy road.

shower did nt drain well

All excellent.
The hotel is on a quiet attractive main road, 18 minutes walk from Emsworth High Street and restaurants so that might not suit some but out of town is alright with me. A short drive.
The hotel does an evening meal as well as breakfast.
