Some visitors were disappointed with the hotel's outdated and run-down appearance, mentioning issues like rusty and dirty bathrooms, stained carpets, and broken furniture. They also complained about the lack of room service, unhelpful staff, and the presence of gaming machines attracting crowds of people. However, there were positive comments as well. Some guests found the staff friendly and helpful, and appreciated the spacious rooms with recent paintwork. The hotel's location next to the harbour was also mentioned as a positive aspect.

Reviews
- 4.6Much bette than expected!!! Very nice !!Fenna - Jun 18, 2023
The reviews are horrible but its not true. Staff is very friendly and the hotel is very big. They have everything you need. I was handicapped with crutches and got an upgrade for free with a wonderful sea view. They have a Swimmingpool sauna and gym which you can use for only 4 pounds!!!! Its not a super 5 star but for this price its fantastic what you yet!!! Its directly at the sea and harbour. I love the place. Coffee tea for free in the room. And as said people working there are super nice, really good service and friendly. They know their job. Not as arrogant untrained students or I dont know what you meet often in London even in posh fancy hotels!!!!!! I will come back here.
