The Brudenell Hotel

The property is well situated, although parking is limited. Our room had a lovely view of the sea, and was very well appointed. The staff are friendly and very helpful for the most part. The Maitre D, Rudy, really is very friendly but the service team were pushed on Saturday night and this resulted in longer waits than is ideal. That said, when the food did arrive it was excellent and I would absolutely eat here again.

Unfortunately our shower was cold, and our sink didn’t drain properly. The latter was a mild inconvenience whereas the former was far more uncomfortable. I did point this out to the receptionist on checking out when asked if everything was OK. Her response was that the shower had only just been repaired, not very well it would seem. The receptionist, while friendly, did not even offer to speak to someone about reducing our bill which was a little irritating given I had paid a premium for a deluxe sea view room. All in all a lovely break in a nice location that was just what my wife and I wanted - it just could have been better.

location and breakfast was very good, restaurant was very good, views brilliant

No mini bar/fridge in room so no fresh milk, wifi pretty hopeless. When you have a room with a bay window facing the sea especially in the winter it would be nice to spend some time in there with home comforts, add these items plus improve the wifi would be the icing on the cake. I would have expected these as standard for the price of the room.

Great place to visit. Very quaint hotel that is right on the Aldeburgh beach. It was close to the high street and local shops and pubs. The breakfast was great with a brilliant view of the North Sea.

The bedroom was a little small, but the sheer size of the bathroom made up for it. Would have been great to have a couch or large chair to sit on and place to put your suitcase. But not a big issue, as the view and location more than made up for it.

Good location and friendly staff. Rooms very clean and with plenty of character. Food in the restaurant was excellent.

Breakfast on the Sunday was a little confused. Our order was taken quickly and after 20 minutes I had to ask for our tea and coffee and 30 mins later remind the staff we had not had our breakfast order yet. They were very apologetic but it was a long wait when tables around us didn’t seem to have a problem.
