Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Miramar is often praised for its elegant building and grounds, situated conveniently close to the sea and pier. Guests commonly enjoy the spacious and comfortable rooms, some offering lovely sea views from comfy armchairs, along with modern bathrooms featuring Rituals soaps. Breakfast is a highlight for many, with window seats overlooking the garden, though some guests have found certain rooms to be a bit dated. On-site parking is a definite plus, and the hotel is within walking distance of attractions like the Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.

Charming Stay with Excellent Service

lovely receptionist upgraded room hotel cleanliness festive touch
I was greeted by a lovely receptionist, a great start to my stay. I was very charmed to be told that I had been upgraded to a better room. The cleanliness throughout the hotel was amazing and nice. The hotel's Christmas decorations added a special festive touch (it really seemed like Christmas).
The breakfast service was a little slow one morning, but the staff were quick to address it.

The hotel benefits from a great location with sea views and is centrally situated. The hotel offers a beautiful terraced garden overlooking the sea. The position is slightly set back from the road, nice for unrestricted views.

spacious room cute reception magnificent view
the room was spacious and well-furnished. the lady at reception was cute. the hotel's location is a real plus, and the sea view was magnificent from the garden where i enjoyed my coffee!
the room i had was a bit dated, not matching the lovely interior of the rest of the hotel it felt bland and not as warm as other areas.

a stay with some drawbacks

great location easy walk expensive drinks boiler noise
the location was pretty good. it mixes being near the coast with being an easy walk to the town centre. there were lot of parking spaces, more than just a few, i found.
my room had to be next to a boiler, i couldn't sleep all night both nights and the room was very very hot. it was difficult to get drinks and those were very expensive. i don't feel it was worth the price.

uneven experience at this hotel

the location was acceptable, with a good mix of proximity to the coast and reasonable walking distance to the town center.
The room i had did not match the rest of the hotel's interior. It felt very bland. it was also very plain. i wish the room matched the hotel's cozy common areas.
