This "hotel" is disgusting. The room that myself and my 7 year old daughter were designated was unsafe, mouldy, dirty and falling apart. Drawers were broken, the curtains hanging off, wires coming out of the walls and mould in the "en suite". The hotel is unmanned so calling the number provided, i complained and was put into the hotel nextdoor 'The Cambria'. I was promised a deluxe double room with sea views. The light was not working, the yale lock was hanging off the door and there was blood stains in the carpet. My daughter was terrified as the "manager" was very intimidating, asking her multiple questions whilst she was clearly upset, crying and telling me she was scared. My daughter is now terrified of staying in hotels again and actually had a nightmare the following night whilst in her own bed at home. I have complained, with pictures and have requested a full refund.

Basic hotel at a cheap price. Just nicely out of the centre so it is quiet on a nightime. I have stopped before and I will be stopping again as it is handy when I am working in the area.

STAY WELL CLEAR
PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. The place is absolutely DIRE, I don't even want to leave one star! The rooms are NOTHING like the photos, I booked a family room and it was tiny, broken drawers and dirty carpet, there is nobody manning it, all the outside doors are open, anyone can walk in, the dirt and filth outside is disgusting, including a pair of boxer shorts covered in poo! I had to waste time calling customer service in London, who changed us to a twin room and there was already someone in it! My son, baby and I were left with no room to stay in and they refused a refund!

Avoid this hotel. You have been warned!
Hotel un-manned. Had to ring a London number to get code for main door & room door. We booked 3 rooms. Each room was similar. Bathroom ceiling covered in mould. Wall paper torn off walls. Dirty carpets. Toilet tissue left on bathroom floor from previous guest. Electrical front box missing from air conditioning socket on bedroom wall exposing wiring. What should have been a bar area, was crammed with mattresses & furniture. Whole hotel was grim & needs renovating. Feels like its a hotel used by Council for emergency accommodation. Hotel should carry a health warning. Avoid at all costs!

0/10 worst hotel I have ever stayed at. STAY AWAY.
0/10, worst hotel (if you can call it that) not cleaned at all (food on the floor, dirty dishes in the room, bin full of rubbish and more), horrible smell when walking in, no staff to be seen anywhere, other people we booking other hotels when we arrived. no toilet seat, no curtains on one of the windows. Just a mess and a place I will never stay again. I would recommend removing this hotel ASAP.

Horrendous experience. Room not ready by 4pm, in fact, the room was already occupied. No curtains hanging in the room, filthy throughout the entire hotel, no bar, no staff on hand, rude customer service until I got through to main office and they changed hotel for me. I booked a sea view with a balcony, ended up staying in a different town, in a box of a room a mile and half from the seafront. This hotel is nothing like advertised, more of a hostel, shut it down or sort it out!

There was nothing unique about this property, will never stay there again, absolute disgusting place to stay, nobody at the check in desk, had to ring a number left at the desk, no towels, no aircon working due to wires cut, had to move a dirty stained chair near the plug socket so i could plug in the kettle, dust everywhere, holes in the wall, no tv remote. balcony door left unlocked, no key for that door, bar downstairs not open, one person was told he had to stay there until the local council found him another place to stay, another couple had been waiting a hour to check in, i have checked other reviews. The Bonair Hotel is on my list of not to stay there again.

Some of the light fittings coming away from the wall, carpets completely stained, cups were dirty, air con not working and very hot at the top, window safety features were also broken and rubbish left under beds from possibly last occupants of the room, maybe before! if you needed a member of staff they were nowhere to be seen
