Berkeley Hotel

I stayed at the Berkeley hotel three years ago,so remembered the great location and friendly staff. I had seaview room 307,near the lift,third floor,great views. I had no complaints about the food. Good choices made the night before and beautifully cooked. Excellent cooked breakfast,although one morning after my porridge,I had double egg on toast. Plenty of toast,tea/ coffee. We had to prebook the evening meals,but the choices were excellent,especially the roast. The kitchen/ waiting staff were all lovely and polite. A really helpful young barman who sorted out my taxi number to Abbotsbury Swannery. My room was seen to every morning by the lovely Maria. I didn’t take part in the evening entertainment as so much to look at round town. On the Thursday night was the vintage car and motorbike rally on the seafront. My only problem was the shower took a long time to get hot water. All in all,the hotel is fine,great position,lovely hardworking staff and nice food. Really enjoyed my visit.

Basic and dated. Terrible uninspired menu. Very stingy with potions. Great place to come if you want to loose weight. Set meals time - no flexibility. No shower soap. Very few sockets in the room. Staff ok if you humour them………………………………………….
