The Marine Hotel

If i was basing this review on the staff, it would be a lot higher, however, the room i stayed in was incredibly noisy, smelly and had an uncomfortable bed. You also have to walk up a lot of stairs to reach your room and when carrying heavy bags, this is difficult. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms need decorating and new paint. Shower was cold, zero hot water in the night or morning.

The service was great and the hotel staff were only too glad to help with anything we wanted

On the beach ! Looking good and nice staff. Wonderful location, right by the sea. Nice walks around the hotel along the beach or on the beach.

Perfect for a business trip Perfect for a business trip. Nice room, nice food, good wifi

This is the second time we have stayed at the marine hotel and yet again we couldn’t complain. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are very nice and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is also very nice and there is plenty to choice from, also the hotel is just across the road from the beach and all the bars and restaurants are all close by. It is safe to say we will be staying yet again and a bonus is that the car parking is free and there’s plenty of spaces.

Going Above and Beyond Ive had some fun of late finding hotels to stop at that are off the beaten track so to speak. As much as a Travelodge is useful they are generally quite soulless. And once every now and then you come across a complete gem. The Marine Hotel is one of those. The place itself is absolutely lovely, situated nicely on the beachfront in Hartlepool, its old school but full of character. The ceilings in the bar area are super high and the food is hearty and potions large. But it’s the staff that make this place. They have a tough time having to run between the bar and the reception check in but they are fun, attentive and in some cases downright brilliant. I personally witnessed the night watchman take it upon himself to aid a man from Germany whos company had screwed him putting him in a hotel whose check in closed at 9pm and who didn’t have a room for the night. Despite the Marine being full, the lad rand dozens of hotels in the area to find the guy somewhere to stay eventually succeeding. Most others would have washed their hands, this guy restored faith in humans (just sorry with my stupid brain I forgot his name! I THINK it was Andy?!?! lol! If you are reading this sorry mate!) Oh and to top it off they have Caffereys on tap. I hadn’t had a pint of that since 2005. Amazing place and if I head back to the ‘pool I will be returning.
