Lovely location, right in the centre of castle rock, great view of the castle! Staff welcoming and friendly, great advice on nearby car parks, I would say our room, number 5, the beds were very springy and hard and pillows very hard too, in my opinion, other than that, good spot if needing somewhere to stay for a night.

The room did not look like the pictures, was old and tired. Tiny TV which had limited reception and the Wifi in the bedroom was patchy to say the least. Noise from other guests and during the night the phone would light up, lighting up the room.

The room was dirty and water was leaking from the toilet because the pipe connected from toilet to sink was hanging down. No one cleaned the carpet the carpet was soaking wet. The room started to smell badley with the wet carpet and no cleaning. No windows to open. Would not recommend

Good local location, close to Castle, sea front & harbour Wasn’t expecting the free parking to actually be on road parking but only after certain times Room nice however room 15 was at front of hotel being above pub section (of hotel) which was noisey & then also with having pub opposite, when leaving in early hours of morning, keep us awake Breakfast was very nice & accommodating especially with the cooked food
