Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Cumberland Hotel's convenient location, especially its gentle incline from the Valley Bridge, making it easy to access nearby attractions. The rooms are often described as spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and well-equipped shower rooms featuring great water pressure. A good breakfast with a wide choice is a common highlight; however, some guests in lower-floor rooms have occasionally noticed noise from the function room. The hotel's art deco architecture is also appreciated by guests.

varied breakfast helpful staff free parking

i enjoyed the varied breakfast options. staff was very helpful at reception. the room had a good-sized shower with strong water pressure and plenty of hot water. also, free parking was a big plus for me .

i found the room a bit noisy, likely due to its proximity to outside disturbances. the noise impacted my sleep quality. i wish there was a quieter spot available or better sound insulation.

Fantastic Stay with Great Staff and Food!

helpful staff great entertainment

The staff was excellent, always helpful and cute! The food was AMAZING!!! I particularly enjoyed the evening entertainment. It added a lot to my stay. The location was good, with convenient access to both the town and the beach. I could easily walk to either.

The music from the function room below was audible, as my room was on a lower floor. I could hear it at night, slightly disruptive.

Rooms

The room included comfortable beds ensuring good rest, and the bathroom was fine. The room also regulated the temperature quite well, and the windows opened a little. This allowed to adjust the room's conditions.

Really good Stay

helpful staff free parking

The staff provided excellent service and were always helpful. I appreciated the provision of a free parking disc by reception for street parking. The entertainment in the evening was enjoyable and included a singer and a comedian. The restaurant and entertainment lounge bar were spacious and comfortable with modern decor.

I found the mattress to be too firm and requested a mattress topper, but I did not receive one. This affected my sleep quality .
