Just turn and leave on realising that the carpet tape patching up thecarpet in the foyer is a sign of the very jaded nature of things throughout the hotel-public areas and bedrooms. The only smart areas are the pool and the restaurant, but the pool is rented out for swimming lessons,and on the day we had booked but didn't stay,... more

Stayed here for October half term. Overall very happy with the hotel. Food is pretty good. For accommodation go for a superior room (and preferably not in the annex/bit not served by the lift part as the walls are thinner if you are sensitive to slight noise at night) The kid’s entertainment at holiday time is full on allowing the... more

We were coming here for August bank holiday weekend. Upon arrival, we noticed the lack of space, furnishings, and most of all, cleanliness. You see, in most hotels even if the rooms are dirty then they make an effort with the reception area, but not here. The woman on the front desk was not very friendly. However, when we had... more

Do have a soft spot for the hotel and have stayed numerous times. It's streets ahead of the St Ives in terms of breakfast and pool area. Carvery breakfast and service is consistently excellent. Hotel has character with lots of corridors and nooks and crannies. Restaurant areas look better after being painted in last 12 months, although patio restaurant chairs... more

No forced entry into my room but someone went through my bags and stole all my jewelry and cash. No one at the hotel seemed to find this odd. I know someone was in the room for a long time as the bags were not in disarray but just not organized the way I left them. This hotel has a... more

i stayed at the Dalmeny Hotel on 24th July 2009. Having arrived at this hotel i was first struck by the overwelming cannopy at the front of the building, which looked like it was in need of tearing down and modernising away from its 1980's garish lime green colour. after having difficulty parking the car at the hotel in what... more

Overall I found this hotel to be distinctly average, though I did have the impression my room was not furnished, and that there may have been an improvement programme working along the corridor. The Atrium restaurant is to be highly recommended, however. more
