Location is good and hotel was fine for a one night stay, but is in need of some upgrades.
Pros:

Friendly staff
Great location
Reception and communal area gives a more welcoming experience than the outside of the hotel and our room did
Easy, quick check out
Comfortable bed and pillows

Cons:

Hotel does look a bit run down from the outside.
The doors in the corridors are all really heavy and one is a half door, not ideal when carrying heavy bags, luggage.
Our first impression of pur room was a pitch black, very cold room, as the heating was not on and the curtains were fully closed. Luckily the radiator quickly heated up the room.
The room needs a lot of tlc - the carpet and the furniture are all well worn and feel a bit unclean. The walls need a paint and a deep clean into all the corners is also needed. We also felt one of the plug sockets could be unsafe.
The bathroom heated towel rail was not working, so the bathroom was cold.
The towels need replaced, they are well worn and very washed out.
The walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbours talking and moving around.

On aurait préféré s’en passer…
Pros:

Restaurant - repas agréable et relativement abordable.
Localisation - proche du ferry.

Cons:

L’hôtel est très vieillot, il est sale, peu entretenu et presque lugubre dans les couloirs.

Les chambres sont pires… Elles sont sales (moquettes tachées, murs tachés, draps tachés…). La literie est médiocre. Et la porte laisse passer la lumière du couloir.

Le prix est hallucinant compte tenu des prestations. On voit qu’ils sont bien au courant que leur position près du ferry leur permet de ne faire aucun effort pour attirer des clients. C’est honteux
