Terrible - room so hot that sleeping was impossible
Cons:

The room we were allocated was unbelieveably hot to the point we could not sleep and had no choice but to leave at 4am and go home. The noisy ceiling fan in room did nothing to provide relief. Contacted establishment after stay to request a refund but received no reply.

Awful experience
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Had 2 rooms and both were terrible. Beds very uncomfortable, musty smell in one room and the smell of sick in the other. Basic bed linen covered mattresses and pillows with blood stains. Tiles and sockets hanging off the wall and lights not working. Screaming and shouting outside with single glazed windows until 2.30am.

Overall, the location, café and staff were definite positives, but the condition of the room and the
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, close to the ferry and ideal for catching the festival bus. There’s also a lovely café nearby, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the room itself was quite tired and had a few maintenance issues. One window wouldn’t open at all, while the other was broken and wouldn’t stay open. The fan was also not working, which made the room uncomfortable. Noise was another issue, as the pub below could be heard clearly due to the lack of effective double glazing.

Would go back. Good place to stay!!
Pros:

I have to say I enjoyed the stay from start to finish. Room clean. Easy access. Good facilities with hotel bar available, and tea, coffee available. Stayed at properly with a mate. He was happy with room he had aswell. Would reccomend

Cons:

I can't think of anything. The rooms are above a pub which had dj playing music into the midnight hours. Fine for me, but maybe elder person who wants to go to sleep early may not enjoy the noise, but fine with me and mate etc.
