The Savoy Hotel
Simple rooms near the old Birnbeck Pier
About this hotel
The Savoy Hotel keeps its offer stripped back to the essentials: free Wi-Fi, tagged beach access, and a smoke-free property, without a restaurant or bar on site to push the rate up. It sits a seven-minute walk from Birnbeck Pier, Weston-super-Mare's older, disused pier rather than the working Grand Pier further along the front, an interesting spot for a family curious about the town's history beyond the main arcade. Paragon Road is a minute away for local shops, and a nearby restaurant sits a short walk out for evenings when cooking or a hotel dining room is not on the agenda. This is one of the lowest-rate options in this stretch of hotels, and the trade-off is simplicity rather than extras.

Our take
This suits a family who wants the lowest possible rate near the seafront and does not need an on-site restaurant or bar to be part of the deal. It will not suit anyone who wants dining sorted without leaving the building. For beach access at a genuinely low price, it is one of the better budget picks in this group.
- ✓Plan meals out in advance, since there is no restaurant or bar on site here.
- ✓Walk to Birnbeck Pier for a quieter, more historic alternative to The Grand Pier's crowds.
- ✓Book this option specifically if rate matters more than extras like dining or air conditioning.

Why guests love itWe booked The Savoy mainly on price, and it delivered exactly what it promised: a simple room, no fuss, and beach access close enough to make the rate feel worth it. There is no restaurant on site, so we planned dinners out each night, which was fine given how many chip shops sit along the front. The walk to Birnbeck Pier was a nice change from the busier Grand Pier crowds, and the kids liked seeing the older, quieter pier up close.
