The bar staff were great. Beyond that, Fair to poor.
Pros:

The bar and dining area staff were excellent. Breakfast was good. We had mid views on the evening meal. My wife enjoyed hers but I was disappointed with mine.

Cons:

The first night we stayed was very cold. There were radiators in the room but they were not working. We reported this to reception but nothing happened. They did provide a portable heater the following day. The radiators were still not working after 4 days. One of the days when we returned to our room, we found the door wedged open. We reported this to reception. Apparently the wedge is used by the cleaning staff. On check out day, reception said they would speak to the manager before finalising the invoice and email it to me. One week on and I have heard nothing or received my invoice.

Pros:

Lit confortable et personnel très bien

Cons:

Chambre très bien sauf il n'y avait pas d'eau froide. Le robinet était bien marqué mais le plus froid étant tiède.
Peu de places de parking à l'hôtel même.

Mooie ligging, goed eten in de bar/ grill maar echt schoon was het niet
Pros:

De ligging

Cons:

Bij binnenkomst in de kamer was de badkamer niet schoon. Remsporen in het toilet om maar eens iets te noemen. Ben ik niet gewend van een 4 sterrenhotel.

An impressive overnight stay!
Pros:

Had an excellent one- night stay at the Burlington with a spacious bedroom. The staff throughout the hotel were unfailingly charming and polite. The breakfast was first-rate with a plentiful choice and we had a very tasty bar snack prior to a concert visit. Although parking at the hotel is limited, we managed to find a free parking space just close by in The Leas.

very disappointing
Pros:

breakfast not good had2 fried eggs you could have bounced off the floor
couldn't get parked anywhere in the town or the beach by the harbour through arches.
spent a lot of our young years there but would not visit again.

Cons:

waited an hour to get into room !
booked the restaurant for dinner , dressed appropriately but then it was closed and had to eat in the bar/pub, my wife's chips were overcooked some too hard to eat, the fish dry and not value for money. fire alarm sounded at 3am ! parking in street an exorbitant price !
