Room was small and too hot for comfortable sleep. Bar food OK but nothing special. However, staff are brilliant, pub excellent and breakfast (and the lady who served it) very excellent! Location seems a nice and safe area too.

Great staff, tired venue

A good welcome from a busy team on a very busy Friday evening. All our interactions with the staff were excellent. Portion sizes were good and the food was presented well, with a smile and at a very fair price. What lets the place down is the decor including the bedrooms which are clean but tired and run down. Everything is functional but the venue is overdue an upgrade.

Bedroom was right near a busy road, windows had to be closed thus making the room hot and stuffy even with a fan. Bathroom was a little tired and the toilet didnt flush well plus shower base didnt flow away so flooded floor. Bed was missing a foot so we felt like our legs were higher than ourheads

Stayed in quite a few Marstons Pubs over the years

This was my second Marstons pub stay in a week. I've always stayed in them over the years, on par with Premier Inn and sometimes even better. However, the rooms seem to be extremely tired these days, looks like minimal investment since Covid and found them very tired looking and such a shame. Stayed for 2 x nights but room was not cleaned inbetween, not an issue for us, apart from the fact that we didn't get our coffee replenished (good coffee, Nescafe Gold Blend, but 2 x stick packs and 2 x decaff), they were gone first morning with two of us staying. Room was uncomfortably hot, no air conditioning.... had a fan but, it didn't blow any air around, we should've complained but was too hot to be bothered and didn't think they'd have a spare anyway. Lovely staff though!

A old building so quiet quirky. Lots of plug sockets and a fan provided as there is no aircon. The shower was really powerful. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great value for money

Check in was quick and easy. Room was nice and clean. Bathroom was clean with a good shower. Location was just right for us. The pub downstairs had a good range of beers and the food was good.

Disliked: Staff & service
Whilst the actual stay was generally acceptable, we had SERIOUS issue concerning our return booking 11/12 June (Ref. 73064796017052). Upon booking this return we pre-contacted the manager who confirmed that our late ferry arrival circa 11:30pm could accomodate late access, given prior notice. However the manager 3/4th June would/ could not re-confirm late access availability, nor communicate this for/to the later manager even with prior notice. A company administration/ communication customer failure. We then cancelled our return booking to a welcoming alternative hotel who had no such isssue !!! Won't visit Shah of Persia again.

Nice hotel, unfortunately by a busy main road. Food and staff are lovely however the windows in the rooms could do with being double glazed, it is quite loud when traffic is going past, especially on a hot day and the windows are open.
