Great location but pricey for what it is
Pros:

Location ideal. Parking was perfect too. Good breakfast! Reception staff on arrival. Very friendly and helpful. Quiet.

Cons:

Dated rooms. Smelt damp. Partners white socks black from walking around the bathroom Bunk bed. We turned the pillows around to sleep to avoid cracking our heads getting up. Price too. Realised we could have paid far less in better and newer hotels. We should have shopped around

Pros:

I have booked it for family members visiting us so close location to our home and other facilities (train station, coach station, city centre) was essential. This hotel was perfect in that aspect.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about but I have found price bit too high for an ibis budget but otherwise it was fine.

Pros:

Location and budget friendly with equivalent comfort. Very friendly staff, easy to approach.

Cons:

It's not the hotel, it's me as a human. Would like luxury with less money.

Solo per una notte ma attenti al prezzo.
Pros:

Posizione ottima per il porto e i sui servizi. Centrocommerciale nelle immediate vicinanze.

Cons:

I servizi sono nulli. Le bibite finiscono subito nelle macchinette Automatiche e non vengono rifornire. I prezzi sono troppo alti per la qualità dei servizi e della struttura. La camera calda con A/C, non funzionante. Poco pulita e con il bagno che puzza di fumo.

Basic but not clean
Pros:

Very basic room however it had not been cleaned well (if at all) prior to my arrival. Bed was comfortable enough.

Cons:

Cleaning needed to be better. The bin was still full from previous guests and there was dirt on the floor.

Fair for its cost
Pros:

It is near to the train station and to the city centre.

Cons:

The smell at the corrido, the "poor" (comparing to the photos) breakfast and the spiders net outside the window.

More like a hostel
Pros:

Not a lot.

Cons:

Very basic and grim.
Not worth £50.(maybe £30)
I would recommend anybody pays the extra £10/15 for the ibis
