Staff were very helpful - we arrived late and the person on reception kept the entrance unlocked until we arrived, answered all our queries and was very friendly and helpful. Room was sparce but very spacious.
Clean room and hotel, friendly staff. A bit echoey as all hard surfaces in rooms. Lift worked but didnt call from 1st floor, so had to walk down then come up lift to pick up luggage.
The Staff was kind and helpfull. I would have liked WiFi in the room

Good value for money!

Glad only stayed 1night
Good location but no one around to help at times rooms very old and basic and had people upstairs having a party at 1am when we needed to get up early to catch the ferri.. very awful experience especially with no one around to help.
Extremely basic especially for the money we paid. Car parking is 24 spaces for approximately 80 rooms not even a drop off point for luggage disabled sp

Personnel is really good and willing to deliver a great service.
The problem is the hotel itself. It was and old hospital. It’s kind of creepy when you walk through the aisles and see the floor with the yellow lines, the doors, floors, walls and toilettes of a hospital or nursing home
