6/10 Good

We booked an overnight stay in order to catch an early ferry. Refurbishment has been done in reception and the bar area. The rooms look tired and stuffy, unable to open the window more than three inches. The bathroom door kept swinging open as there was no latch or lock on the door. For what it was,the price was ok.
Andy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel in

The hotel is in a very sorry state. We had no hot water in the bathroom room and also we had a leak in the sink. We we mentioned this to the receptionist they said they had only turned on the hot water an hour ago (at 7 pm???) and it would take another 20 mi s to get into temperature. It never did. We had to had a cold shower. The mattress was bad too. When we arrived a family was complaining about something else, which is always a bad sign.

8/10 Very good

Just needed for the tunnel early the next morning with parking. Ticked the box.

4/10 Fair

Avoid if possible

Not very clean at all. Dead bugs on the window sill. Shower was not warm and unusable given the temperature and poor water flow. The toilet seat wasn't even attached. Unfortunately we checked in at 9pm, climbed the three flights of stairs with the luggage and just accepted this is their ‘standard’ or care for the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend staying here.
Nikita, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lift did not work. Rooms not sound proofed as advertised. Mouldy net curtains, cob webs in room, under the bed hadn’t been hoovered so previous guests rubbish was there. Hall way smelt. Dirty windows. No hand towel. Shower poor

Never again this property. No hot water, the carpet was wet next to the window, you can see the wall is wet too. Dirty rooms. No breakfast option. Very old muld smell.

Paint work in a shocking state toilet didn’t flush properly only one bedside cabinet no walls light to turn off when in bed curtain on one side hanging off
Paul, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Stayed In one of the sea view twin rooms, Upon arrival I found the hotel entrance to be very dark but clean. Our room appeared clean but definitely needs a revamp. The bed mattresses don’t fit into the bed frame so was lop sided and had springs sticking up. Only one pillow was provided so I asked for another which was quickly suppled. The shower was either freezing cold or very hot so couldn’t shower. Overall one night stay ok but I couldn’t stay any longer than this. the hotel rooms need an update
