The Gallivant

De mauvaises surprises sur l’addition finale et quelques erreurs malvenues…
On a aussi eu beaucoup de mal à trouver. L’hôtel est très mal signalé !

Nothing

The overall cost was quite high for 1 night- £429 via Booking.com + an extra £99 on check out. We only had a beer (£7 + service for 3/4 of a pint) and a glass of Rose (£14 + service) with the meal plus a couple of coffees. The meal was OK but not of a Michelin star quality. We thought we had paid for 3 courses in advance but were told on checkout that it was only 2. The bill was shown to us on a computer screen and so no printed copy to properly review. I asked that the detail was sent to me by email but not seen that yet. The breakfast was continental on a tray (diy boiled eggs only) but missed some quality touches like a fruit salad (you could make your own with grapefruit, a banana and bunch of grapes). Car park was very busy. The room was quite small and so any noise in the bathroom could be heard in the bedroom.

Coffee needs improving, needs some nice coffee beans and a proper coffee

At this price, I feel that there should be a cooked breakfast. Many people there brought their dogs and so after a morning walk/ swim, it would be great to have a cooked breakfast. Another thing I would recommend is having a coffee/ tea station that is set up in the morning, for guests to help themselves, without having to order it with a staff member at the early hours. Other hotels I have stayed at, offered this and it was a great value add. Oh, and a place to wash down your pets and feet outside the venue, maybe in the car park so that sand isn’t brought in.

I cant think of anything. Its a little expensive for the area, however the quality and facilities would unlikely be possible without considerable cuts to staffing and details.

Gar nichts.

The TV didn’t work well

Restaurant - they forgot a call I had made to order a birthday desert . Service was very very slow .

Veel te duur voor wat het is. Onze kamer (3) was echt krap. Geen frigo, geen airco, geen kast om je kleren in te hangen (geen plaats voor), en zelfs geen water op de kamer. Bij de check-in werd ons niets gezegd, enkel werd ons onze kamer aangewezen. Mooi hotel maar totaal de prijs niet waard. Voor een hotel zonder spa, gym etc.. aan die prijs verwacht je minstens excellente hospitality. Mensen waren vriendelijk zonder meer en je werd wat aan je lot overgelaten.
Hetzelfde geldt voor het restaurant: lekker maar veel te duur voor wat het maar is.
Dit hotel heeft duidelijk een zeer goed marketing team. Het gevolg daarvan is dat de werkelijkheid teleurstelt.

It was small, and did not have a reception or anywhere secure to store luggage.
The hotel nor the rooms were very nice but did not justify such an enormous price.
The breakfast was okay. Not worth £10 and took 20 mins just to bring filter coffee. If you wanted a croissant it came as a part of a massive tray with smoked salmon and meats. You couldn't just have a simple coffee and croissant.
Dinner was good, but expensive. London prices. Good selection of local wines.
The beach, which is notably a few hundred meters from the hotel is beautiful but is totally overrun with presumably people from a nearby holiday park. It was not an ambient experience.
We won't be back to Camber Sands.
Rooms+ food £1250 for one night stay, which is madness.
