Arniston Hotel
We received a warm welcome and we found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The room we had was clean and well equipped. The restaurant had a very varied menu and was good value for money.
Such a treat - plunger coffee in the room, rusks, sherry, beds turned down and cholocates on the pillow - old style treats and hospitality. Excellent breakfast!
The service all round was great from cleaning, to turn down, to a wonderful included breakfast and the fastest laundry service ever! Added bonus using the spa on a rainy, windy day.
Fabulous Hotel & even more Fabulous Staff & Service … A truly excellent hotel & tremendous value for money & in a stunning location with views to die for … one of best hotels I’ve ever stayed in because of all of the above & I have experienced many many others that do not come anywhere near this & I have done trips all over the world for the past 50 years or more … 5 STAR imo ❤️
The people are so friendly. The hotel is quaint and clean. Amazing breakfast. Restaurant is also great for evening meals. Such beautiful ocean views from our room. We will definitely be back!
Their parking lot isn't the best, BUT there are the most majestic views, super helpful and accommodating staff, delicious restaurant, & fantastic spa (the full body scrub was AH-MAZING). We had a great time. It was a nice break from a lot of traveling. Our stay was short, but the relaxation was lasting!

Excellent staff. Good food. Good location. Comfy bed. Good room with excellent sea facing balcony.
My only concern was the old fashioned Internet WiFi system which uses a system that regularly failed in our room.

Hotel lovely Amazing sea view
Staff friendly
Good cocktails
However food not the best fish cake extremely dry
This is our go to hotel when we want a quick breakaway and arniston hotel never disappoints. For years now the hotel staff and service are consistent. The breakfast buffet everything you can wish for, the turndown service and the friendly smiles.
I will return again and again.

Our bedroom was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. One more chair would have made even nicer to be able for both to look out to the sea! The bistro needs a little revamping as it lacks atmosphere .
Oilcloth table cloths are a nono
The food is very bad. Only frozen fish, no fresh oysters, the sea and Harbour 50 meters away.
Old supermarket bread and harsh butter in plastic for dinner.
It used to be good, now it was the only bad experience we had on our three weeks round trip.
