Decided to spend the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. What a great choice in selecting the Camelia. From the moment of entering the property you were made to feel welcome and an ease of check in and shown to room. We were in room 19 which is on the ground floor at the back of the property overlooking a lovely little courtyard. Spacious double room, spotlessly clean and a great overhead shower. Great breakfast and agin the staff were immaculate in presentation and service. Would highly recommend

Great Hotel closer to Thorpe Bay

Booked for two nights as we were attending a wedding. Lovely, good sized clean hotel room in the anex. Quite location on the sea front. Very good breakfast. Would have liked to have stayed for lunch as it looked very nice and had a good reputation. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would stay again and consider their dinner, bed and breakfast package.

Clean room with seaview and lots of cushions.

Nice clean quite spacious room with double bed and sea view, free local council parking well situated to the rear of the hotel, but very bumpy (four by four recommended). The reception was friendly.

The room was adequate but would like to see, bottle water in room and more choice of tea bags,no choice of decaffeinated tea/coffee. And shower cap offered in bathroom. Breakfast quite expensive and staff kept forgetting to accommodate us on the knowledge of the breakfast. Good points ,staff very pleasant and hotel always clean.

Great hotel, awful parking and will stop me staying there in the future as the car park dents cracked my front splitter, causing a few £s worth of damage.

Very pleasant.

Highly recommend the restaurant. Very nice food, I had a fantastic ribeye steak, although the full English breakfast was sparse. The room was basic with budget fixtures and fittings in the bathroom ( I’m a plumber) and the basin plus was broken making it difficult to wet shave. When I reported the basin issue I got the impression they already knew about it. The whole place is spotlessly clean and tidy. The staff are a credit to the business.
