The cleaning staff that I bumped into in the hall were so lovely. I wouldn’t recommend this place for someone that is a light-sleeper - as the building is very old, the sound proofing on the windows is non-existent so you can hear everything from the road below. ##### Elise Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trish 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Customer service was excellent - ensuite room clean and warm - close to train and BlueBridge ferry.
