Awful start to our holiday
Cons:

The hotel claimed they did not know we had a booking. This was despite email confirmation from Booking.com and me ringing the hotel twice the week before we arrived to verbally onfirm the booking which they did confirm. There was no other accommodation available locally so we slept in our car..

Good for a short stay
Pros:

Location is great, staff are lovely, views from our window looking out over the harbour and the bed was comfy. It was nothing fancy, but it had all we needed and we really enjoyed our stay

Cons:

The bathroom looked a bit tired, but it was clean enough and honestly it was grand for us.

Didn't stay because room wasn't habitable. Absolutely disgusting.
Pros:

The bar server was pleasant as was the manager, however she was unable to resolve my issues with the room as it was booked through booking.com. The room was uninhabitable and I had to seek other accommodation for the night with my 1o year old daughter.

Cons:

The room smelt like damp and stale beer and there was black mould on the walls and skirting. The bed was stained yellow around box frame and had black marks on bedframe and mattress,which also looked like mould. I couldn't stay there and had to seek other accommodation late at night as it was so disgusting. Very stressful and expensive (as still haven't received a refund) with a tired child after a long day travelling.
The manager looked at photos and agreed it wasn't fit for purpose and said she would be closing it off for a deep clean. She said she could not issue a refund however, so I am still waiting for booking.com to sort this. Absolutely terrible service and extremely disappointing. Won't book through them again!

Karig
Pros:

Dat we weer vertrokken na een nacht.

Cons:

Vloer was flexibel.
Uitzicht door kabels verspert.
Badkamer klein.
Laminaat vloer was zwaar beschadigd en bewoog met lopen.
Trap naar boven erg steil en deur vanaf trap naar gang kreeg je in je gezicht omdat je op de trap hem open moest doen terwijl de klink hoog zat.
Personeel deed weinig moeite en was niet gemotiveerd.

El hotel aunque no es nuevo, esta muy bien decorado, y hay mucho ambiente social
Pros:

La ubicacion es perfecta, lo pasamos muy bien, te avisan que igual oyes ruido porque el hotel tiene un pub, pero estavamos en el segundo piso y no oimos nada, ademas cenamos en el hotel i estaca buenissimo, vimos la final del mundial y todos iban con españa,. La habitacion esta muy bien decorada i la cama comoda

Cons:

Por la mañana no hay nadie en recepcion, sunque la chica que limpia es muy amable

Way below expectation
Pros:

Free parking
Cheap breakfast offered - only £4.99
Nice view from the rooms
People working there were kind

Cons:

- rooms need radical renovation -
All is very old
- pictures of the rooms do not present how small they are and old
- very loud with rooms over the pub with night life until very very late
- ear plugs were not provided despite message received before the arrival that they were offered
- room was not done the second day
- bed were very very uncomfortable - I could feel each one of the springs in the mattress
- pillow were each one different and hard as a rock
- let’s not talk about the bathroom

This hotels looked more like a hostel , not an hotel

Two feet from the harbour
Pros:

Close to the harbour, nice kitchen for dinner. Breakfast is served at Ferryboat Inn, 2 min walk from the hotel. Large parking in the back pretty good for motorbikes. The host is friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing really
