Simple hotel. Clean, comfortable bed, strong shower and the food in the evening was great. Will definitely use again for ferry as you are there in less than 5 minutes.

Yes the room was very clean and the staff were very nice and breakfast was lovely we will stay there again.
This is a good value for money hotel and couldn't be more convenient for the ferry terminal and catching the morning ferry. The room was fairly basic but clean and worked perfectly well for an overnight stop. Reception was friendly and helpful.
Good hotel in great position for the ferry terminal. Stayed many times and always found the staff in both the reception and restaurant to be friendly and helpful. Great choice of food always well prepared.
Great location for the ferry port, basic room facilities but clean and comfortable beds

A budget hotel close to the ferry. Very dated; small rooms and strange sewage smell in bathroom. Excellent location for the ferry to Portsmouth. Breakfast very good.
OK for a one night stay when you get off the ferry, as it's very close. However, the bar closes at 10pm, which isn't good timing, as that's when the ferry arrives! Rooms are small, clean and basic. Good breakfast buffet with local products.
