I stayed at the Sea Hotel for two nights whilst visiting family in South Shields. Having read the other reviews on here I can assure you it really isn’t that bad! Yes, some parts of the place are a little dated and could maybe do with some love but we paid £80 per night on a weekend which is outstanding value for money (most places in the area were over £100 a night). The place was clean and the staff were friendly. The food was good value for money. We had breakfast both days which included cereal, orange and apple juice, yoghurts and pastries for free, we had a delicious steak for dinner on the Saturday night and the family joined us for a roast on the Sunday which was very tasty, especially considering it’s £14.95 for three courses!! The best part of this hotel is the location - beautiful view of the park, sea front literally over the road. Also a 10-15 minute walk to the town centre and the metro. I would definitely recommend this hotel to people coming to visit South Shields. It’s no frills but you aren’t paying for frills so it’s fine!!

Just returned home from a 3 night stay. Welcomed by a nice lady who showed us how to use the keyless system then we were left to it. Our room was a superior on the 1st floor, easy to get to up a few steps. The room was average sized with a fairly comfortable bed and a nice sized shower. Unfortunately 2 mornings the water was cold. I don't mind a cool shower but many won't. A few *******. The back of the wall on the toilet unit had a golf ball size hole in it which was sharp, and there were the odd cobweb. Only 2 portions of milk and one ginger biscuit (at least leave 2) Nothing to write home about. The bed was comfortable and there were nice big windows that could be opened to let the world in. A fan, hairdryer kettle etc and there was Netflix & a Google smart speaker which was very handy. Excellent location and yes, it can be a bit noisy but it's on a main street. The smells were amazing coming from all the restaurants. There was a little bar which the owners state could be utilised for a drink if you ask but I think they may be missing a trick by not using it as a selling point? Parking is plentiful around the place, the most you have to walk is a few yards ( and I have a blue badge). Thanks for having us Overall a lovely stay. Thank you

Joined family who were visiting for dinner, absolutely abysmal! My partner ordered black pudding to start and sea bass as a main, neither available so had to reorder, pate, came with half a slice of toast! Must be a shortage. Bowl of pasta came piled high but ruled as completely tasteless despite adding salt and pepper, not eaten. Tuna steak was way overdone chef has a heavy hand for such a delicate fish. Curry also ruled as tasteless. No one in a mood for dessert but my friend ordered a cheesecake as it looked nice. Advised it was inedible tasted like curdled cottage cheese. All in all a complete disaster and waste of money! Would I return? Resounding no!
