The Aqua

Guests appreciate the diverse and satisfying breakfast, cleanliness, and friendly staff. Convenient location near ferry terminal and water activities. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-decorated with lovely views.

The location of the Hotel is ok if you are taking part in any of the local activities like Diving , water sports and hiking but if just on a break then it’s a bit isolated with very little to do unless you take part in the above , we took the bus to Weymouth a couple of times only £2 each one way . The hotel dining room and bar are clean and well decorated, the in the price breakfast was ok with a choice of a cooked ( buffet) or cereal no issues it was ok , the bar and kitchen staff were friendly and willing to chat and give advice on the local area , our room was adequate for a short stay , it was clean with fresh towels and bedding with the house keeping being done daily , my only niggle was the 3 areas of damp in our room , one above the head of the bed , another above the window and the third below the windowsill, after opening the curtains each morning there was flaked paint on the floor which was cleaned up by the housekeeper this should be addressed as soon as , overall this hotel in my opinion is ok for 2-3 days .

Having stayed here throughout the past 7-8 years is now an absolute state to experience for the following reasons: no clean bedding, the mattress was uncomfortable and was completely covered with stains and had blood stains on the duvet cover, didn’t get my bed changed once when I stayed. Didn’t have a good nights sleep as the dog kept barking (sounded like it was on the balcony) didn’t get to sleep till around 1-2am, needs to control the dog more should not be keeping the dog outside late at night to bark the whole street down, the curtains were wrong size for the windows and had light coming in early hours so got very little rest. Bathroom was not very hygienic had no soap or shower gel/shampoo. There was a dirty scum mark round the bathtub. Breakfast wasn’t as warm as it should be and it’s not up to the high standards it was renowned for under the previous owner and staff. And it’s a real shame the cafe and the bar are no longer open to the residents and locals, that are staying there and the locals who used to use the cafe and the bar. Also the amount of free parking spaces during the day has dramatically decreased as another business has acquired these spaces so we have no spaces to park outside where we booked our accommodation, very limited free parking spaces for residents.
