Mele T.
Reception staff were cold and unhelpful, and nobody even showed me to my room. The room was absolutely disgusting. A drawer was full of very dirty socks that weren’t mine. The floorboards were rotten, the carpet didn’t fit and wasn’t attached, and the walls were mucky. There were marks on the walls and TV screen that looked like fist impressions from a violent previous resident. The bathroom was unclean, with unknown brown lumps on the floor by the toilet. The toilet seat wasn’t attached, and the toilet didn’t flush properly. When it did flush, the room smelled like poo, so presumably there’s a sewage leak under the floor. The shower had no hot water, the radiator didn’t work, and the windows wouldn’t open. The door was broken and barely locked. There was a large spider living in the bath. All the electrical outlets were smashed, leaving exposed live wires throughout the room. The fire rules on the door had been smashed too, with shards of broken glass within easy reach. The hotel says reception is open 24 hours, but it was always closed and the hotel was unstaffed. Breakfast was just little boxes of cereal with fruit, which I didn’t eat given how disgusting the place was. The bar was more like a club for locals, so there was a lot of noise. Worst hotel I’ve ever seen.

The Royal Marine Horel has great potential. It’s a beautiful location with wonderful views, and the hotel’s history goes back more than 100 years. The US Navel were present in 1965. It seems the whole town was badly affected after covid, but they’re working to improve it and its tourist attractions. The hotel is also in the process of improving. I’d strongly recommend having a phone in every accommodation, especially for older couples, in case there’s a security issue or they need a wake-up call. A bellman to help carry luggage up to the third floor could reduce accidents. More attention to the bar, more help on the floor, better employee security and hospitality, and a focus on making sure every guest’s needs are met could all help. Just a thought. Good luck, and I hope to see you again. Keep up the great work 👍

It’s a big, clean and warm old hotel with character, right opposite the ferry terminal. The staff were friendly and helpful. Some areas are still being renovated.

For a cheap hotel, it does what you’d expect, so you won’t be disappointed if you go in with that in mind. The staff gave us stunning service, though, and helped make for a wonderful night at the bar. Fiona especially worked hard to give us a fantastic experience. 10/10, would recommend.

We got a room at the last minute, and the staff were very helpful. It was clean and spacious, with a good shower and all the usual tea-making essentials. Breakfast was included and set us up for the day. I’d definitely stay with them again.
