2nd year staying for visiting tennis. Already booked again for next year.

Great, comfortable and luxurious stay in a perfect location
Pros:

Superb breakfast with excellent service and delicious food. The non-buffet style breakfast was a wonderful surprise and resulted in a more relaxed and tasty meal. The evening dinner was superb fine dining and should not be missed.
Our room was spacious and extremely comfortable

Cons:

Due to the heat, the lack of air-conditioning, resulted in an extremely hot room especially at night. The hotel should consider the installation of a central air condition for the rooms

Would be lovely in the winter but not recommended in summer with no air con.
Pros:

Very clean, traditional English hotel with very attentive and willing staff. Beautiful sea view room with wet room was large and well decorated.

Restaurant food was excellent.

Cons:

No air conditioning and staying during the heatwave and the single supplied fan in room wholly inadequate with room temps dangerously high throughout stay.

Pillows were very hard although very comfy bed.

Room service for breakfast - was only ‘allowed’ continental in room - disappointing when paying £230 a night.

Sea view room lovely but on busy road with boy racers sharing who’s got the loudest exhaust!

27th wedding anniversary stay * see above*
Pros:

Love love love this hotel. It’s a regular for us. Fantastic Resturant great quality. Great choice at breakfast. Robe, slippers, bottled water ( a mini fridge would be nice in the superior rooms)

Cons:

Think that there should be a more luxury soap in the superior rooms, and plug sockets near to the bed… it does say there are sockets near the bed but in the superior double they were across the room near the coffee, which isn’t ideal at all. fortunately we had very long charger leads, however Sadly the room was the worst we’ve had at this hotel purely for location. It was above the entrance of the hotel and as it was a super hot wkend we had to have the windows open as the fan was noisy… BIG MISTAKE The local drunks congregated under the window and apart from cursing and singing loudly they then went on to smoke weed which drifted into the room, even when we closed the windows we could still hear them. This was the worse wkend ever, then there were some Allergy issues ( which were eventually dealt with by the manager) but then we had a terrible issue with the bills…. Which again were eventually dealt with by Simon, but sad to say this was the final nail in the coffin for us😢😢. We will come again as this hotel holds sentimental memories for us so we are convinced that our next stay will be completely different as long as we don’t have room 116 again and allergy requirements are taken care of.

This is the third year we have stayed at the Langham and would recommend it.
Pros:

At breakfast and dinner the food was excellent. The service was good. Lovely location on the seafront.

Cons:

It is a long - but pleasant walk to the tennis at Devonshire Park. Our room was quite small

A home from home which bettered all our expectations
Pros:

The staff at this hotel were all excellent despite working in such hot onerous conditions. They were clearly very well trained and enjoyed working in a very professional team. Breakfast was good and promptly served. The room was clean and comfortable, whilst a fan provided at least helped against the heat. For an additional charge our car was locked inside a secure compound for the duration of our stay. We will return.

Cons:

Nothing else required

Receptionist very helpful
Pros:

Breakfast was good staff very friendly and welcoming

Cons:

Size of room was so small and very hot and uncomfortable. They did provide us with a fan.
We had to pay 13.00 for parking and it was not on the premises too. This was very expensive.

A lovely stay!
Pros:

Excellent location. Super-friendly and efficient staff. Very good breakfasts. Had a nice, family-run feel to the place.

Cons:

Aircon would have been nice given the heatwave - but this would involve some very major internal and external work. The fan proved just about adequate. A very minor quibble, but I’d much prefer my toast to be served with my cooked breakfast rather than with my fruit juice; that way ther’ll still be a vestige of warmth left!!

A lovely, quiet, traditional hotel
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel had a traditional look and in good condition. The location was great, on the seafront but away from the busy and noisy area by the pier. Only a short walk along the seafront though.
It was one mile away from the tennis at Devonshire Park which was our reason for staying, it only took 20 minutes to walk there.
Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the toiletries were very nice.

Cons:

Unfortunately we went in a heatwave and our room was very hot.
There was no air conditioning but was provided with an electric fan which helped a bit.
It didn’t spoil our stay though.

klassisches ordentliches Hotel in Seebad
Pros:

Es war mein zweiter Aufenthalt in dem Hotel, da man dort Einzelzimmer mit herrlichem Meerblick und sogar kleinem Balkon bekommen kann, was wirklich schön ist. Das Zimmer ist schmal, aber ausreichend groß, das Bad ist sogar ziemlich groß, innenliegend mit Badewanne.
Frühstück wird serviert und bietet viel, sehr viel Personal sorgt dafür, dass man schnell bedient wird.
Zum Parken nutze ich immer die Straße mit Permit (2,50 am Tag, für jeden Tag neu) und habe wieder problemlos einen Platz gefunden.

Cons:

Im Bad fehlt Abstellfläche, dabei ist es wirklich groß. Ich persönlich hätte lieber eine Dusche als die Wanne, aber die Duschmöglichkeit darin und der Wasserdruck sind gut, allerdings keine Handbrause, Wasser kommt immer von oben. Das WLan war etwas schwach, ich konnte nicht alle Dienste nutzen.

Clean and comfortable hotel opposite the beach.
Pros:

The staff were fabulous. Nice area to sit outside for drinks and lunch.

Cons:

While it was quick and efficient and the staff were helpful, the choice of food at breakfast was very limited.

Also, vegan options for lunch and dessert were very limited.

Definitely would recommend
Pros:

We were greeted by the night manager and the external door was opened for us within seconds of our arrival (the long ramp to the front door was very useful!). Allocated our room (sadly not with a few of the sea - but we did book very late) but nevertheless quite pleasant and was very clean with good quality furnishings. Useful number of sockets (no USBs though). Comfy bed and lots of extras which were much appreciated such as bottled water, hot chocolate, tea and coffee. Sadly our TV wouldn't work as it seemed the wifi wasn't working although the night manager did try and sort this out to no avail. Very friendly staff and lovely breakfast although I would have preferred to have the option of a real treat such as eggs benedict for example. The hotel offered a more traditional breakfast menu but were very accommodating. All round very good in a well maintained traditional sea front hotel. Would definitely stay there again.
