Guest Reviews
Close to port
The location was close to office, I was travelling for work purposes
Cleanliness. Staff or lack of. One member of staff covering bar, waiting tables and doing check ins. This meant long waits when my room key stopped working multiple times, and at initial check in.
Room carpet was practically moving around by itself it was so dirty.
Uncomfortable bed plus empty shampoo bottle. Only one little fan despite being 32 degrees.
It was good location
Decent rooms and beds .
Breakfast was OK
No food served in the evening
Pleasant welcome
Excellent breakfast
Beautiful views around
Good clean hotel
A little out of town but fine for our purposes
Quietness
No aircon and breakfast limited
Ideaal adres om te overnachten als je van de veerboot in Harwich komt. De kamers zijn basic en wat outdated, maar schoon. Het ontbijt is eenvoudig, maar prima. Verder is het heel handig dat je je auto kunt opladen.
Alles was prima.
Easy access to main roads
There didn't seem to be any form of management on the ground. We arrived at 1700hrs for check in and there was no one at reception. We rang the bell for 10 minutes and then rang the hphone line and no one was answering. We went to the bar to get assistance and there was on one to assist. Eventually, after 30min wait staff from the Kitchen assisted. On Sunday, continental breakfast was clearly indicated to be served until 1000hrs and hot breakfast until 0900hrs, however, when we went for breakfast at 0930hrs the restaurant was already closed and food cleared. This hotel really needs to review their processes and how its managed
Bien placé, chambres confortables, bar et restaurant disponibles, staff très agréable
Manque de personnel, la personne à la réception doit aussi gérer le bar et le service à table… dommage pour les clients et pour le staff aussi…
The breakfast was an improvement on our previous visit. Staff were very friendly and helpful
The room was extremely hot (no air conditioning) but it was a time when the weather was exceptionally hot.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Good location for our visit, like the overall layout and buildings.
Good menu and food/drink fairly priced.
There was a smell from the pipes/drains in our bathroom
The staff are overworked and need more support
The food wasn't as good as my last stay, probably due to it being busy and being understaffed.
The location was ideal as we were at a wedding locally, the room was spacious and had a comfy sleep
The breakfast could have been better, did not like the english breakfast and finished at 9am
The location suited us.
We were not happy with the service when we arrived was not greeted in a happy atmosphere. You had one member of staff running the whole of the hotel e.g reception desk. Bar, ordering your food and also dealing with queries. We also had to change the room we had cob webs in the bath and all over the shower. We had no glasses for us to drink water in. We had no aircom no fridge in the room looked like it had not even been cleaned.
Good value
No sockets next to the bed so had to charge phones on the back wall
The pillows were flat and hard
No a/c
Not enough staff - felt very sorry for the one person on reception AND the bar!
