Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests at the Glastonbury Hotel often appreciate the generously sized rooms, many boasting superb seafront views and private balconies ideal for enjoying the beach scenery. Being conveniently located near the pier makes it easy to explore the area. Some guests have mentioned thin curtains letting in early morning light and occasional whiffs of smoke on the balcony. However, the overall impression is one of good value, particularly considering the room sizes and stunning beach views.

seafront views comfortable bed private balcony

My room had superb seafront views. There was plenty of room and a big comfortable bed. I enjoyed the private outside balcony with unrestricted views of the beach and sea.

I noticed some hairs in the bathroom and on the carpet, which I didn't like.

Seafront stay

great view nice size good linen friendly staff

My room was fine, and it had great sea view from the first floor. It was a nice size for a solo traveler. The provided linen was of good quality. I especially liked the fluffiness of the towels.

I noticed slight smell of carpets in some areas.
