"Located close to ferries. Friendly welcome. Staff very helpful but rooms need updating."

5.0

Staff we met were great. Welcoming, friendly, helpful. Restaurant was very nice and had clearly been updated. Menu was simple and food was tasty. Service was very good. Breakfast had to be preordered the evening before. Service was friendly.

Room was very small indeed for a double room. On the first floor and didn’t expect people to be using fire escapes to pass our windows to walk across flat roof outside as a regular access point. No privacy blinds. Couldn’t walk around bottom of bed without a sideways shuffle and had to lean forward whilst doing that in order to avoid the tv on the wall. No space for suitcases. It is what it is. Rooms are not modern.
