Nice kind of quaint older style hotel with a large guest relaxing lounge on the first floor BUT lots of steps up and down depending on your room location. Older potential guests should discuss this with the hotel before booking. Initially booked in a room with a couple of foul-mouthed noisy lads next door and door open. Made an early decision to ask for relocation which was arranged and ended up with a quiet room as we had lots of ground to cover the next day. Breakfast was good and all staff friendly and helpful. Parking more than adequate. Ended up an excellent stay.

We have stayed here before and it is convenient for the area. Sadly they lack the amenities- no microwave, fridge, or safe. All the beds are twins and not overly comfortable. They were cleaning the gutters while we were there and the machine was loud and started early in morning making it impossible to sleep. The staff was wonderful and the rooms were clean. They also held our bags for two days while we were somewhere else until we came back.

No charge for parking was a plus. Would've benefited from having bottles of water to make tea in the room. Cups were a decent size. Staff were amenable. Beds were comfortable. Appreciate that extra pillows were available in the room.

Definitely in need of some TLC. Could hardly see through bedroom window as so dirty, the view was of a flat roof, no attention paid to keep it nice, whole area needed repainting & a plant pot or two would have been a nicer view. Behind my bathroom sink was thick with dust, burn holes in the carpet & communal areas look very tired with dusty silk or plastic plants! Cheap room, good place for workmans rest but not somewhere to stay to enjoy ambience. I’m guessing it was once a grand old hotel now it’s just an old hotel.

Just a one night stop over after getting off the ferry at 10.00pm. Friendly welcome, lots of parking and a big comfortable room with a bath was just what I needed. Bar was open and again the staff were great. Good choice at breakfast and good, attentive staff. Easy, comfortable and great value stay.
