8.0/10

The Comfort Hotel has its ups and downs. It's conveniently located on the doorstep of the Golden Mile, offering easy access to the town center and plenty of eating places nearby. However, the state of the rooms leaves much to be desired, with broken switches and non-functional wall lights. Additionally, the service is lacking, as requests take ages to be fulfilled and the clueless staff needs significant improvement.

Rooms

The rooms had an electric fan heater but encountered issues with broken switches and non-working wall lights. Cash payment was required due to a broken cash machine, causing inconvenience.

The location was excellent, right on the doorstep of the Golden Mile for easy access to the town center, despite some nearby flooding.

Dining

The breakfast options were disappointing, consisting only of cornflakes and toast on a DIY basis. Making tea was also left to the guests, without much variety.

7.0/10

The Comfort Hotel's location is excellent, right on the doorstep of the Golden Mile and with not many other hotels around. The spacious room with 2 double beds was huge and warm, perfect for getting ready for a wedding. However, the service, with unprofessional behavior and cleanliness issues like urine and pubic hair, was a major letdown.

I arrived at the hotel to find a room that was up to standard on cleanliness, but then received a very different room. The service was helpful at times, but there were delays in responding to requests. The location was flooded with water but excellent for accessing the Golden Mile. The dining experience left much to be desired with minimal breakfast options. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
