Reviews for The Osborne Hotel
Review 1：very run down areas of hotel. musty smells in stairwells and ballroom. room extremely basic but clean. toilet didnt flush properly and got worse into the stay. very complicated journey to room.
Review 2：lovely breakfast.friendly staff.
Review 3：We struggled to find the car park/ garage. Perhaps a map handed out to guests would be useful as it really was just round the corner, yet we missed it and ended up driving quite a way! Although as soon as I rang the hotel, they did come and show us where it was.
Review 4：The staff were so friendly, particularly Stewart, and did everything they could to help us out - especially as my husband has trouble walking at the moment.
Review 5：Decor was quite tired in the bedrooms and lounge and bar area.

Review 8：Lovely staff couldn't do enough for you. Location was fantastic, right by the beaches and shops. Lots of Victorian charm!
Review 9：Our room was part of the emergency exit. The view out of the emergency door showed rusty stairs. The hotel was filled with very old people. The owners dog was lying on the reception desk. Breakfast window was half an hour.
