This is an very old (antique) kind of property where you will find moving luggages between floors and stairs is somewhat a challenging experience. The lift is the old type require manual door opening and accommodate only one person plus a bag. Some rooms were far reached through a long narrow hallway so they are not convenient for those who have large luggages hence we asked for a change to a more accessible room since we had two large luggages. No air conditioning but a floor fan was available (which was broken and had to be swapped with another one). Water pressure of the shower was horrible (basically dripping) and we had to skip taking a shower after hotel staff failed to fix it the first night.

While the location is convenient, the property itself is very old - one-person lift with manual door opening, no air conditioning, lots of long narrow hallways. It is definitely one of a kind if you are looking for an antique hotel. Our room was spacious and clean though, albeit with a broken fan and a dripping faucet that has water pressure problem.

Great location!

Great location!

looks like two (or more) separate buildings, so trying to align the lifts and stairways was a bit confusing. It's old and tired and could definitely use a thorough cleaning, but the service was pretty good. (It's possible that it is coming up against the end of the season, so hopefully, there will be some refreshing of the public areas and rooms during the off season) I noted that mom needed a room near the elevator, so they kindly upgraded her room to accommodate her. The next morning, the cruise ship boarding had been delayed, so the staff stored luggage for everyone as well as provided a lounge to wait. Decent walk to the Princess cruise ship terminal and a somewhat reasonable price made it an overall decent choice.

We appeared to be placed in the old part of the hotel with very tired decor and nothing like the website. Although the bedroom was adequate with a very small TV, it was quite noisy with guests in the hallway and stereo music outside before 7am. The bathroom was completely inadequate with skylight with no blind that the car park opposite can see straight into. Water pressure non existent in shower (hard to rinse shampoo out). Took a while for hot water to come through and have to repeatedly flush the toilet to get rid of waste Didn't have breakfast but it looked fresh and value for money. Only needed a room for a night, but it needs a lot of investment and modernization. Focus on rooms not keyless entry.

Very tierd rooms, heavyly stained carpet, tv in first room not working, shower head in second room (15) broken. overall smell in corridors and room. High street outside downmarket and lots of homeless. Good parking though and friendly staff
