There was not much available for vegan/vegetarians at breakfast. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever seen at a hotel. If you sat on the toilet you had to make sure the window ( a porthole ! ) was shut, otherwise you would hit the window whilst standing up. The bathroom was that small you had to come out and dry off in the bedroom. There is no air-conditioning in the room, and as it was warm we had to have the window ajar. BUT, the noise from the local estate was really bad until the early hours of the morning. And two or three times during the early hours we were woken up by motorbikes. The car park is fenced off, but you always had a bad feeling that when you went to the car the next day something might of happened to it. Luckily it didn't. Staff were friendly enough. Hotel clean throughout. But one big bugbear for us is that there is never anywhere to hang coats, especially if wet.

Lunch & dinner - poor food offering. Everything frozen. Not much knowledge from staff about allergies. No real atmosphere in the common areas. Breakfast a bit better but only scrambled eggs offered and everything was cleared away at 10am! My TV didn’t work for entire visit.

The room was tiny, which was ok, however, the bathroom was so cramped that it was actually difficult to use! For 2 people it was tolerable for one night, any longer would have been a real struggle. In addition, bathroom door banged all night, we initially thought that this was because the bathroom window was open, but it was the same with the window closed.

It is an ideal location to gunwharf quays and city centre but the rooms are incredibly small. The town centre being nearby can also be very noisy due to clubs/music. Loud music went on outside until 1-2am so be wary of that. 🙂
