The Midland

I love the Midland it is an iconic bit of history in a beautiful location. I would so like it to be a success and guests to rate it highly. On the plus side it was good to have a large glass bottle of water in the room. Plenty of nice toiletries in the bathroom though they didn't smell of very much. Bed was very comfy. Blackout curtains worked really well. I was on the roadside of the hotel but still had a good view of the sea to the side looking down the prom. The room was very quiet and didn't hear any road noise from the prom overnight.

This is an expensive hotel but does not sing of exceptional service or provide the level of comfort you would want for the price. Staff could be more attentive. Once you got their attention they were very friendly and helpful but I must have waited a minute before reception noticed I was there on arrival. The reception is now the end of the bar and not really the welcoming area you would expect in a class hotel and very noisy from the bar area. The downstairs area, where a lot of people meet is not cosy, the chairs are not plush and welcoming and in fact very drafty when the main doors open. I didn't like the overhead shower, no option of a moveable shower head, no good if you don't want to get your hair wet. The lighting at the dressing table could be brighter.

Absolutely loved the ‘ship style layout’ / nautical style of the steps! Size of the rooms and bathroom and lovely smelling body wash and other toiletries. The bed was super comfortable and we slept really well. Great restaurant food and service

Absolutely nothing

A great 1930s hotel with a great location and views of the bay. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Trivial but the plunger on the soap needed replacing.

Location and style

Lack of restaurant staff to clear used tables promptly
