Artex peeling of roof, mould round taps in shower etc. Food was good and service great. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B819E0444F4F0C438CF775A8AFE647F5F70092111674745150497.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AC1C41D59214241C49119984EF80E14A350711321674745167395.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine 7 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities convenient location, staff lovely, decor rather dated, wifi only ever connected for a few seconds. facilities ok ##### Catherine Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 22 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness The hotel was a bit worn. The room was very small, but we expected that. Shower was TINY and had mold in it. The food in the hotel restaurant was AWESOME. Based on the moldy shower I would not stay here again. ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Veronique 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Amenities I do agree with some of the comments that the property has a few minors issues or quick fixes to do like a bath sealer to redo. However, the room was spacious, the restaurant / bar very decent and staff was polite. It had thin walls so be prepared to hear a bit of the neighbors or the dinner area in the morning / evenings. ##### Veronique Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Only drawback was that the car park was at the back of the hotel with a precarious set of steps which took you to the front of the hotel. Not very easy in the dark. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison 20 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities A friendly welcome and there was fruit at breakfast which was nice. No warning upfront that our bedroom would be reached by 2 flights of stairs - no lift - so my painful tendon certainly got a workout. Stayed for 3 nights and the menu was the same every night - even the specials. ##### Alison Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruce 29 Jun 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities We originally booked as the hotel was advertised as 'pet friendly' with a private garden area. Thankfully, we had a change of plan and didn't take our dog. When we arrived and someone finally appeared to check us in, after about 10 minutes, we were allocated a small room on the 3rd floor which the wi-fi didn't seem to reach. While the room was just about adequate for a couple, it would not have worked for us with our dog. Also, none of the staff knew how to access the garden as although there was a door from the dining room, we were told this 'wasn't allowed' to be used - we heard other guests asking too. I'd suggest anyone with any specific requirements check with the hotel in advance. ##### Bruce ### 10/10 Excellent #### zbigniew 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fajne miejsce w centrum miasta blisko do portu.sniadanie ok ##### zbigniew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christoph 8 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stornierung Habe die Buchung vor vierzehn Tagen infolge eines Spitalaufenthalt meiner Frau storniert.
