Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the Wilton International's location, which serves as an ideal base for exploring the area and is conveniently situated one street off the sea front. The hotel offers clean and ample rooms equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, with some guests mentioning the en-suite shower cubicle as being small. Breakfast is a highlight, cooked to request with crispy bacon, and the hotel's proximity to a tram stop-just a short stroll away-makes it easy to reach North Pier and other attractions.

a pleasant stay

clean room tidy room comfortable bed excellent breakfast

The room was very clean and tidy. i had a private bathroom. the bed was very comfortable, and there was a tv in the room. breakfast was excellent too. i had a great time , thanks to the upgrade to a double room. I did book a single.

the shower cubicle felt a little small. i had to be careful when i turned so i did not knock the tap. the power was good though.

small shower musty smell

The breakfast was decent, but the single slice of toast felt a bit stingy. The shower was also quite small.. I kept bumping into the walls. The room had a slight musty smell, and the TV was mounted way too high. It all felt a little underwhelming for the price I paid.

The breakfast was good. Crispy bacon is always a plus.

The shower was tiny. A larger person would have a terrible time using it. I almost got stuck. I didn't.
