Home from home…….
I’ve stayed at the Camelia many times and always have a wonderful stay. The team there are beyond friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A real home from home.
I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

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.

A small single ensuite room and comfortable bed. Limited parking in front of property but parking available on rough ground behind property. Friendly staff and lovely restaurant. I got the room at a discount price which seemed fair price for the room.

Fabulous calm atmosphere, lovely restaurant, no quibble fitting me in at 8.15pm on a Friday evening (they serve guests up to 8.45), would definitely stay again. Every member of staff is friendly and welcoming. It is clearly a nice place to work for them and they are a great team.

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.

I had a room on the front which was very small and i found it very hot with no way of controlling the temperature, i opened the window which made it very noisy...i did not sleep at all as there were people talking and arguing outside the property at 2.30am and people walking up and down stairs ....
Although it was clean and bed was comfortable i would not stay again

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.

This was my second visit and the service was even better than last time when it was exemplary. From the moment we arrived the staff could not do enough to help us. They even helped me with the bags because my husband is less abled. They were very attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our stay was memorable. The icing on the cake was having the cases taken to the car when we departed. We will definitely be back there when we next book a show at Cliffs Pavilion as it is so convenient. Many thanks to the Management and staff
