Top Oceanarium Hotel Reviews

Laguna Hotel

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Laguna is a bit of a Marmite Hotel - some love it, others hate it. Yes, it's a bit ramshackle and not always as well maintained as you would like, parking can be difficult, and the beds are a bit hit or miss as to comfort. But the bedding is clean, the price is often quite low, it's a short walk to the town centre through the upper pleasure gardens and the pool is lovely. Yes, that's the best reason for selecting it - the pool is not huge (I estimate 12m long) but swimmable. Sometimes it gets a bit busy, but as often as not I have been there on my own. Check the pool opening hours - sometimes they extend them slightly, so last Friday it was kept open to 8pm - useful for someone like me arriving a bit later. Be prepared to have to practice your parking skills, as much of the space is often taken by their own coach fleet. And once you have a space, walk! Westbourne with its independent shops and bars is just over 10 minutes, and the town centre a little more, with the pier and beach easily reached through the gardens."

"I imagine this hotel is wonderful in the Summer but it was absolutely freezing, the heating wasn't even turned on in the building, there was no extra blanket or duvet in the room provided. When I told reception the next day I got blamed for not saying beforehand but wasn't told that customer service was 24/7 when I checked in? Other than that breakfast was average, room was clean bathroom tiny"
