Good value guest house, with great staff and good location
Room was spotless, nothing was to much trouble for the staff, breakfasts were very good with traditional and vegan options available, staff were kind and attentive. Excellent restaurant called Racks next door.

The reception staff and breakfast staff were excellent. Courteous and helpful and really friendly. Location of the hotel is good for walking down to the harbour and the city centre. Plenty of good restaurants nearby.
Hotel was quiet and we had a good night’s sleep.
Staff was super friendly, nice secure car park with a decent breakfast….
However!!
The rooms are very old and dirty stained carpets dirty bathrooms wallpaper falling off the walls
Very convenient and good value for location. I only needed a small room for myself for one night so happy to be able to book a single for less money than having to book a double.

Very nice staff. Very basic room with single glazing onto a busy road and poorly sealed too, but the room was warm despite it being 0 degrees outside and it was clean. The bed was soft and unstructured - probably old.
Breakfast was pretty so-so.
