Several reviews describe the building as old or tired, and bathrooms—especially the showers—are often very small.

Lovely staff, centrally located. It's rather tired and facilities limited (no kettle for example, thin walls) but value for money. I would stay again.

È stato un soggiorno piacevole, struttura un po’ datata, però pulita e in un’ottima posizione oltre che ad un prezzo molto competitivo. Vicino alla struttura si trova facilmente parcheggio, l’ho trovata solo un pochino rumorosa in quanto si sentono un po’ di rumori provenienti dalle altre stanze soprattutto alle prime ore del mattino. Colazione sufficiente, non offre molta scelta però tutto sommato passabile. Personale abbastanza gentile e cordiale.

Staff friendly and helpful. Only 10 minute walk to harbour. Bed and bathroom clean and comfortable, but room smelt a bit fusty and floor was gritty/dusty. No lift, so had to carry case up two floors. Suited us for a cheap one night stay before catching ferry and night before flight. Overall, hotel was in need of updating.

A very clean town hotel, overlooking other hotel rooms as we had a room at the back (20) A good shower and comfy bed. The staff were very friendly, at reception and at breakfast. The breakfast was plentiful. Definitely recommend. We only stayed 1 night, if were were there longer a room on the front would have been better.

Hotel is clean but a bit outdated in its decor. Our bathroom was very small & felt a bot claustrophobic. However the staff were brilliant, very friendly & helpful. They allowed us to check in early on arrival & offered us the use of a shower at the end of the day before we had to take the ferry back

Ottima soluzione per chi usa l'hotel solo per riposare.
