Think twice before stopping here.

Dont believe everything that they offer. Really disappointed, offered bar and seating area with a pool table but didnt mention its only for a couple of hours per day 5 till 9. Looked like a hostel for the homelesss from the outside and the photos must be old because the rooms and areas definitely dont look that good. Breakfast was ok . Thankfully it was only for one night but they did over charge me to what hotel.com quoted me. Will be looking into getting a refund as i feel i didnt get the accommodation i expected.

This is a budget hotel, so don't expect the Ritz. But the room was clean, the bed comfortable, and it has secure parking. We easily walked into the city centre for dinner. Next to the bus and train station.

Poor

Quick and easy check in. Friendly reception. Very tired, old, and dirty room. Smelled of stale cigarette smoke. Too small for 3 adults. Cigarette burn on bed cover and curtains. Dirty stains on underside of the top bunk. Pillows were extremely poor quality, lumpy and hardly worth having. Booked and paid for in advance on a non-refundable price. We only stayed because there were no crossings available to get back to UK that night otherwise I would have rather paid for another crossing (we were booked for the following morning) and forfeit the cost of the hotel room not to have stayed there! Breakfast was very basic. Self service, which was fine, but poor selection of bread, mini croissants, pains au chocolate, yogurt and corn flakes, but no milk for them. It was definitely cheap for a reason. Next time we'll pay a bit more and hopefully get something resembling a hotel room!

I know it was cheap as we needed a stopover before catching the ferry. The place looks like its about to fall down. Another guest was walking in as we arrived and said it was worse still on the inside. We walked into the reception and walked back out before even checking in. It looks like a hotel used by the govenment for the homeless.

Paid for triple room and only got a double as I was with my 13 yr old boy he was not amused and slept on floor. The receptionist didn't seem to care just said you have enough beds for 2 people I did explain i paid for a triple, he didn't care. Shower was awfull just span on the wall as fitting loose shower curtain useless and flooded the room. Sheets had stains on them and what looked like cigarette burn on the duvet cover. Bins overflowing outside the front doors

not what you pay for

We had book this as a stop over and as they say you get what you pay for but i have the feeling that i did not get that on the photo's the beds were all on the floor , We book for 3 people, once in the room we had 2 single beds and on top a bunk bed ( of which the ladder was not that safe the room smelled of smoke very badly. when i asked if they had a new room i was told no they were full and they handed me a spray. (this shows me they know about the smell in the room or rooms as that had this at hand.( did not have to look for it) The shower work which was a good thing but if you had it on too long the floor in the bathroom started to also become wet. The room was like an oven and we tried to open the window to try and sleep but the noise outside made it so you could not see and if you shut the window the temp just when up. We had planned to have a early start to get to the ferrry, rond 5 am away but we packed up and hit the road at 3 am just because of the room. I would give this hotel a miss.
