Cheap, cheerful and very ideal!

I'll cut to the chase with this one. If you're expecting all the frills, you won't get them. HOWEVER... Its an absolute bargain and certainly ideal for a short break. The hotel itself may be in need of some work (and it looks like some of that work has started), but ultimately, its clean, comfortable, ideally located given its very close proximity to the railway station etc, and even the noise issues that people had raised in other reviews wasnt an issue. You might get a bit of background noise but its not offputting and what do you expect? Its in the town centre next to a railway station and a ferry port. I still managed a good nights sleep. Check in was also very straightforward and easy too. Definitely recommended for anyone who needs a place to get a good nights kip for the next days adventures. 👍

Good budget accommodation. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms tidy but definitely require some TLC. Pub down stairs so can get quite noisy on a busy night.

Location was convenient for the ferry. But the bed was very saggy and uncomfortable and there was a lot of noise throughout the night (shouting, arguing).

Only staff contact was at bar when booking in. No dining facilities. Shower would not hold in place. Electric switch outside of shower situated under the water pipe. Absolutely noisy. Guests smoking at fire escape door. Rolls of underlay blocking hallway. I had to leave a night early due to noise from Bar Area. Won't be going back.

Tired building

Although there was no smoking signs everywhere. The room stank of smoking. Although it was very quite and booked because it was a lot cheaper than anywhere else.

New name on the outside - “The Clary”. Stayed here for one night. Very affordable price and you get what you pay for. Check in was easy and smooth, just speak with the bar tender. Very happening bar/lounge and “Home of Claroke”. Separate entrance for hotel guests after checking in.

Basic, but a bargain for the price

This room was very cheap and for the price I was happy with what I got. Rooms are above a pub. First floor are common rooms with dart boards. Second floor rooms 1-6. Third floor 7-12. I was in room 8. This room was pretty quiet. On Saturday night I could hear some noise from the street outside the pub but nothing too bad. There was a darts competition or something in the common rooms which was very loud but couldn't hear from third floor. I'm sure on first floor it would have been a problem though. Internet is available in the rooms, not only in public places like some of the info suggests. However the connection did drop out at times. It's clear the place has been redecorated recently. Bathroom still a bit grubby though. My only real complaint is there was no shade on the skylight so I was awake by 7am because of the light.
