Property was convenient for ferry. Rooms were clean and linen fresh. Facilities were dated and could do with a refresh. Relatively quiet at back of hotel despite its prominent position between two roads.
Very friendly, helpful staff. Excellent location for ferry port.

Hotel was close to the port.
WiFi didn’t work in one of our rooms. Facilities very basic. Very noisy room overlooking the bar area, with people talking until the early hours.
Restaurant food was excellent.

Hotel good ,parking only free for one hour (with hotel permit )which rq updating every hour till 7 pm then free till 9am, then updating every hour, restaurant staff rq training (booked table at 3pm to eat at 8 pm told full ,many French people came in after me and got table.
Best hotel in area - close to ferry terminal, easy parking, good food and service, comfortable rooms, reasonable price. Have stayed in other much more expensive hotels in area and found that their service and food was poor.
Always a good experience and spend several overnight stays here each year. Conveniently located for the ferry terminal.

Disliked: Amenities
A dangerous shower. Controls broken. Clearly damp with plaster peeling off the walls. A window that is broken and cannot be closed so you have to endure the noise of the HGVs heading to the Port. Horrible.
Dreadful service
I chose the hotel for its convenience and the fact that twenty years ago I enjoyed a good meal there. How times have changed. The owner was surly and unpleasant. We were not made to feel welcome. The service at the bars was awful and we chose not to use ut after the first twenty-minute wait for someone to ask us what we wanted. The room was big enough but the facilities were primitive. A paper cup in the bathroom and just a bar of soap and a sachet of shampoo allied to the kind of toilet paper we used in the 1960s was not good. There were no coffee-making facilities. The rooms were up a steep and narrow staircase and as the doors all slammed it made for a noisy awakening at 6 am. Not what you want on a holiday.The room was not made up for 36 hours after we arrived. This was my worst hotel experience in the last twenty-five years. There are other hotels which are just as convenient in Outistreham. I would read the reviews for them and then decide.
We arrived late but the staff were waiting to welcome us. Breakfast was excellent. The Bar was reasonably priced. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was excellent ideally placed for the ferry port.

1970s not so chic…
Great staff. Hotel rooms tired and desperately in need of updating. Food poor ☹️
Keep a close eye on your car if parking outside.
