Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Magnum Hotel offers comfortable beds and spacious, clean rooms, making it a serviceable choice for the price. Its location provides convenient access to nearby shops behind the hotel and is within a reasonable walking distance to the football stadium and river walks leading to the beach. Some guests have mentioned that the key card machine wasn't working and that the hotel can be noisy at times, but overall, guests appreciate the hotel's updated appearance, especially the view of the Spire Bridge at night, alongside a good English breakfast.

a good stay

great staff comfortable bed
The staff was great and always ready to assist. my room had fluffy towels and a comfortable bed. i also noticed extra food and drink items available at reception. This works well when you forget something.
the room thermostat did not function properly so this caused some discomfort. i also found the car park looked a little derelict with missing signage.
