Past its glory days

This hotel is a bit tired and in need of an upgrade. The carpet in the bedroom was dusty, the bed was a bit hard and the service was terrible. While the parking is free, you have to get your parking ticket validated at Reception - I had to go back a few times as this was not done correctly. The hotel does not justify it's 4 star rating

Good view but terrible service

The room was amazing. Spacious, with beautiful views and a huge bathroom. Absolutely loved the room. The service however was awful. The rude staff at the front desk, are just not helpful at all. The waiters at the breakfast area dont pay attention to when they needed. The host is even worse to approach. The breakfast also had no meat options for the omelet. If pork is not an option,atleast offer chicken

Beaware the fine print

Got what we paid for. Negatives were not being aware of an additional tray charge which is added on to bill for in room service or the fact that our booking did not include the cost of parkimg which was pretty excessive. For these reasons alone will not be going back.

Horrendous with no safety or covid protocol.

Hotel had no mask wearing mandate People entering the lifts with No masks. Smokers are allowed to smoke without any implications whatsoever. We had to have our room changed. No security with entry. You could enter through the basement and go to any floor. What an absolute joke. At best, a 2 star experience. Charged for parking, but entrance to the Hotel parking was open from Friday to Sunday. My 6th trip here and my last. This made me not want to go out again.

Was dissapointed in the housekeeping as underneath the bed was dirt from previous guest. Breakfast was not good but understandably COVID19 restrictions applied. Dinner ordered grilled prawns via room service. Prawns where NOT fresh, No veg in savoury rice as described. Overall a 5 outa 10 stay.

I felt like I was in a five star hotel, the friendliest staff ever, everything else was as amazing. They did not make their dining area feel awkward. They made sure that i don't miss the buffet. Everything felt like there was no pandemic, even though they adhering to the covid rules but they still made me feel safe and comfortable.

Went to coastlands for my honeymoon and had so many problems with the room. The room telephone wasnt even working for me to call reception and complain.

lie after lie from the management terrible

Booked 2 rooms requested inter connecting rooms 9 months prior. Was given an upgrade with an inter connecting room which was taken away in ten minutes to be told after seeing 2 other rooms which were not suitable that the booking did not show the request for an inter connecting room as they advised our initial room had been booked in the time they showed us the other rooms. Basically it was lie after lie form the general manager as the lady at reception gave us originally the inter con ting room and he advised this was not shown on the booking. My wife and I eventually had to sleep with 1 child each as they were only 6 and 8 after changing from different rooms for 2 hours .

We stayed for 9 night so it was important that we had all the comforts of home. Coastlands provides that and even more. The bed was comfortable. Staff was always pleasant.
