Good location, easy check in, nice clean room. Breakfast average. Stayed Oct 2-5, outside temp 48-61. Heating in room was not on, told that management does not turn it on until it gets really cold. Given a space heater which heated the bedroom but not the bathroom. The heated towel rail never came on. We managed to get reasonably comfortable but the bathroom was cool. WiFi was weak on my side of the bed but able to get decent signal standing in the open doorway out to the hallway. Staff said WiFi was ok from their perspective.

Full of history really nice and relaxing hotel. Parking is a bit tight and limited. Other meter parking is available. 5 min walk up dock yard 10 min walk to town Friendly staff really comfortable bed. I can not think of a down side to staying in this hotel. I would recommend staying here and will revisit.

Looked very grand when entering. Lobby was fine, Bar was fine, Reception was ok. We was told we had a room upgrade so was quite happy. We took the lift to the 3rd floor and when the doors opened we were in shock. We had entered a 70s nightmare. The corridor was painted white over the old wallpaper, the walls had lines of conduit running everywhere, the room doors had seen better days. It was awful. We checked out each floor and they were all the same. Our room was newly painted but not finished nicely. The bathroom had been forgotten though with a lovely strip of hazard tape for a threshold and the room was cold. Can't fault the cleanliness though!! The food in the restaurant was good too and staff were friendly. A disappointing stay. I don't think we'll be back.

Uncomfortable bed and the sheets kept coming off mattress. Our room was at the back of the building in a dark corridor accessed only via a number of twists and turns down other corridors. The ceiling was peeling, the carpet stained and the room overall very tired.

Budget usually means no frills and basic .. NOT .. wallpaper peeling off walls, filthy marks all over walls, taps that were worn through chrome to be more brassy looking, paintwork chipped very extensively, no blinds or curtains in bathroom window with buildings directly opposite!! Really very disappointed. Very very scruffy room!!

Good one night stay.
Very happy with choice. Friendly staff, good wifi and good location. Only had light dinner but was excellent. Yes the carpets in the corridor need replacing , and the tv in the rooms are small but I found the hotel has an incredibly relaxing ambience that I cant explain, it made wish I was staying for another night !
