The Bay Hotel

I seriously question the scoring and reviews across the web for this pit of a place. This was marketed as "luxury " and for £127 for a night, that's what I expected. You won't be made aware that the entire back of the place is a caravan site. Those folks and anyone else, can use the pool. It's a tiny pool. So it's heaving. It's also dirty and run down like the rest of the property. No separate space for kids/adults to swim. I could have made my peace with that, BUT everything else was dirty, dated and with a distinct institutional feel, think ... Old folks home. It's shabby and depressing, and our "executive luxury suite" was like a hostel. Filthy, not updated since the 80s. Dangerous wiring in lamps and TV. See pics. Tv didn't even work. Layers of dirt so heavy must be DECADES old. Needs a serious deep clean. Bed so old you can feel every lump and spring. Lumps gouged out the pleather (yes, pleather!?! ) headboard. Stains on old, brown institutional carpet. Bathroom so dirty we didn't even wash. Ancient, dirty sofa. Beware! This thing is used as extra bed if family are staying!! Breakfast inedible. Sausage pink inside. Staff try, but are tired and stressed. Which brings me to the "manager" Wow. Openly hostile to paying guests. Apparently has no responsibility to the guests because "the directors can do what they want. If you don't like it go elsewhere " don't worry...we will! Complained on check out. Was told they get vast volumes of complaints, and it will be ignored. I get the impression the owners think the view is enough to excuse poor hygiene and Ancient decor. It's not. I don't know how they can take money under this misleading advertising. Be aware, the beach is not accessible by crossing the road. There is a very long concrete block and railway in between. Arcade depressing and machines broken. Joyless, archaic, not even budget quality, Council feel, dump of a place. Please don't get taken for a mug like we did.

Beautiful hotel stunning views visited here touring on our motorbikes we had the executive suite with sea view had a meal at the hotel reasonable priced breakfast good choice

We stayed in Edinburgh for a day and then moved north to Fife region. As the city hotels are too expensive during our stay, we stayed here with a 40 minute drive from Edinburgh city center. View from the hotel is superb overlooking the sea and waves. In the night, lights from Edinburgh at the other end of the sea was nice. Rail tracks and Road were again visible between the room balcony and the sea. Overall loved our visit. Room itself has two floors and plenty of space. Smart TV is good. Morning hot english breakfast is included in the price of the room and tasty and with quality. There are many facilities in the hotel like fitness center, kids play area -and we used Swimming pool and Sauna, that is good. Definitely would recommend this hotel.
