10/10 Exceptional

Quaint wonderful restored in wonderful condition. Fantastic proprietor who attends to your every needs. Bountiful English breakfast. Dinner was superb. Enjoyable stay. 👍

10/10 Exceptional

A quiet and clean hotel where guests are made very welcome. Locstion is nice and close to the city center. I understand that the hotel is taken over by another owner not too long ago, so there is some work to do to make it even nicer. I hope to return here in the future.
Petra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Used the hotel as a night stop before an early ferry. It served thus purpose well was clean fidy with an easy check in helpful manager / owner. The hotel is a little dated but tidy and great for our 1 night stay only 15 minutes from either the ferry or eurotunnel.

Good service, but sadly let down by the accommodat

The room was super hot even with all the wondows open. The hotel needs a lot of tlc. The plumbing was really noisy, the decor was old and worn, and thd bed was so hard and uncomfortable.

Needs attention

The hotel is easy to find and has a decent sized car park at the rear of the building. The outside looks tatty and the adverts/awards in the windows are all dated. We checked in with no problems and the guy was very helpful although he wasn't based on site and closed reception as soon as we had our keys. This was unfortunate as once we got to the room we realised we didn't have the wifi code. The hotel number was permanently engaged and there was no sign of anyone on the ground floor. The room was clean, reasonably modern, spacious and had a desk for working. There was no internal lock or bolt on the door which was frustrating and there was also no pole to adjust the venetian blinds to close them, which meant we had daylight in the room at 4AM. On the plus side, we were on the second floor so could leave the windows open to get some cool night air in. Overall, a mixed stay at a reasonable price.

4/10 Fair

We haven't been in here for over 10 years when Wards we a lovely building and interior, unfortunately it is now very tired and in need of some updating, especially the bathrooms.
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Awful

Rooms very small, overpriced, scrapes on walls with paper missing, water marks on walls in bathroom decoration in poor repair, dirty marks on quilt cover and what appeared to be a mustard-coloured throw in quilt cover not a proper quilt.
rd, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Deceiving website and overpriced

The hotel website is deceiving! On arrival it looks very shabby and the gentleman on reception advised that the restaurant was closed due to chef illness. The room had a camp bed for our teenage daughter. The blinds were plastic and were broken and the windows single glazed and rotten. One of the pillows had stains on and the bedding felt cheap. The whole hotel needs a full overhaul and in its current condition/services is VERY overpriced!
Emma, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed

Comfort good enough, friendliness good enough but service at mealtimes leaves a lot to be desired. Had a dinner with our family which, despite us being the only ones there, took a long time ! Waiting 45-60 mins for meal to arrive is not acceptable. Breakfast next day was the same (and we never did get our cereal) Staffing levels need to be looked at.
