The hotel has the best possible location. The staff in the hotel are nice but the rooms are dated. Make sure you get a room with sea view. The restaurant has good food but the staff are terrible. Unfriendly, bad attitude and lack of customer appreciation.

This hotel has all the potential to be amazing, but it needs some serious money thrown at it to bring it up to modern standards. We had a sea view room (room 201) overlooking the port and the view was the only positive aspect of the room. The room and hotel itself was like staying at your Grandmother's house. The decor, furniture and general smell was horrendous. Uncomfortable bed, very tired and dated wallpaper, bathroom suite, and bed linen. The hotel is situated next door to Tim's bar which is the liveliest bar around. It closes at 1am every night, but allows the punters to stay seated until 3/3:30am. As the hotel is so old, it doesn't have double glazing or any sound proofing, and so for two nights in a row we had zero sleep due to the intense noise coming from Tim's. The hotel provides ear plugs but it is far from sufficient. The staff also don't seem to know what they're doing. We were given mixed information on availability of wifi on the hotel verranda and across the road at their sea side seating. The check in ladies were slightly strange as one wanted to keep hold of our passports for 24 hours with no explanation, and the other was rude and abrupt. The in-room facilities were poor. One complementary bottle of water, 1 set of ear plugs, no fridge, and air con that wouldn't allow you to set the temperature than 24c. We checked out early, forfeiting any refund purely because we couldn't stand the lack of sleep. Don't make the same mistake, book elsewhere!

Firstly the location was great, fantastic views from the room balcony. Plenty of options for dining within easy walking. The late night music from next door went on too long. No bar facility in hotel available. Hotel needs refurbishment but aware this is due next year.

A basic but very comfortable hotel in a great location. A little noisy at times.

Great value and location, a clean and nice hotel - close to restaurants and the sea.

Authentically spanish with happy and helpful staff who made our stay, whether it was the loan of a hairdryer or a croissant at breakfast the service was 5 star. Rooms whilst basic were comfortable, had aircon and were spotless. The View of the Port was glorious from our balcony at the front of the building and breakfast veranda. Food in the pontoon was first class and thoroughly recommend

Lovely hotel full of charm

Room very basic - no frills, breakfast mediocre, outdoor dining space could be improved, whole place desperately needs updating - expected more

Fantastic location right on the sea front. Most rooms have balconies and its worth getting a sea front view. The rear faces onto the car park and neighbouring buildings, so probably noisy. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The Brismar is in the hub of Port Andraxt with its bustling bars & restaurants, it’s a classic style Spanish hotel the breakfast on the front balcony with amazing views has a variety of fruits cheeses meats & breads The bedroom are basic & very clean but the position & views make the holiday Can’t wait to return

Great location and sea view room vistas. The rooms need an update.

Fantastic staff, very clean hotel, right on the harbour, a wee bit dated but well worth the money

amazing view, nice people

Had a fantastic stay at Hotel Brismar. The balcony in our room was absolutely the highlight which such an amazing view. Can also highly recommend to eat at their restaurant - although the service was a bit slow - the food was well worth the wait and to sit on their patio in the sea was just a delight. The room is nothing special and they do need to sort out their bathroom locks but again balcony made up for everything. Breakfast was also really nice and was served at their terrace. Parking is just behind the hotel and was free and very easy.
