Room layout. Poor breakfast service kept running out of the basics like cutlery and plates then the food too. no access to hot drinks.

The hotel offers excellent value for money, but is just a soul less dormitory with little to commend
Pros:

That I was able to store my bicycle in my room.

Cons:

What a horrible soul less place this hotel is, stuck in the middle of a car park in the middle of nowhere.

The room was a good size and actually had bed space for 3 people, so good value, but it really was too utilitarian for my likings.

Never again!
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Everything! Very old, tired looking. Small room with only one double socket, the other side from the bed. Woodchip wallpaper. Don't think the place has seen a paint brush in 20 years! Unfortunately, swarmed by police on my night there for someone kicking off in reception. I guess it was cheap for the night and handy for the ferry, but wish I'd paid the extra £30 and stayed in the actual Ibis next door! The bar in the Novotel across the road was great though!! 👍🏻
