Ok so this hotel is good but not as good as the one I stayed in in Liverpool's Albert dock. The room was good and very airy which does allow for a good nights sleep. The hotel lacks atmosphere though and I wouldn't say I could enjoy a drink at the bar before or after dinner. Probably wouldn't return as... More

Good points - Price compared to the surrounding area. Basic, standard and clean in most areas ( bathroom grouting needs re-doing). Free parking. Comfortable sleep. Good location for local transport links. Pancake maker at breakfast! Staff friendly if not very busy. Bad points - the cheapest quality sausage they could find. Synthetic, watery 'scrambled eggs'. This place still charges for... More

I stayed in a HI express a few weeks back in Belfast which was a great experience. Although good this hotel did not come up to the same standard. Staff are good. Polite and efficient, rooms are clean and comfortable but it fell short in a few areas. I would have assumed that a global brand would offer a consistent... More

My friend and I wanted a short trip to Dorset and decided to stay in Poole for the night whilst down. We picked this hotel for the good price and twin room on offer with breakfast included. We found it really clean and comfortable and would definitely come back again. Fairly local to the Harbour where we went out of... More

I had stayed at this Hotel previously enjoyed my visit. However, times change. My friend and I had travelled from Jersey & were travelling on to Fishguard the following morning.

Stayed here on a Sunday night - hotel quiet and fairly empty. Room overlooked the smoking shelter next to the bar, which would be a problem in warm weather as you can hear quite a lot of noise even with the window shut.
