    It could do with redecorating but I can't complain because everything worked.

    Cheap and cheerful but good value for money with a good resturant and close to the Portsmouth ferry. Breakfast was quite cheap at 9 Euros but was very good.

    Very Fawlty Towers. Serving staff nice but slow. Have to pay for parking. A group of young men come round and try handles on cars so be careful. No tea or coffee facilities in rooms.

    Restaurant was nice, room a little pokey, but comfortable. Breakfast OK... though a very strict one croissant rule is in force. Next to Brittany Ferries terminal.

    Much as we love the Faro the rooms are in need of a re fresh. I suppose prices would then increase so don’t know really.

    The staff are great- so friendly. The proximity to the ferry port, the improved breakfast is excellent.

    Our bedroom smelt of wet dog, we are dog lovers but they'd obviously been dogs in there previously and the carpets were smelly so we had window open all night and were disturbed by Lorry's going to ferry, people were also banging doors late and NO WI-FI access, very dated

    The staff were all lovely, dinner in the restaurant was good, location for ferry was excellent.

    I think some people might say the decor is a bit dated. Had dinner in the restaurant which was lovely but a member of staff was rude to me.

    Location is very good, only a few minutes from the ferry. Parking outside the hotel. Have stayed here before, nice room with bath and a view. Will stay here again.

    The bathroom needed a refurb! It seems rooted in the early 80s and has been through several, obvious repairs.

    Basic and slightly outdated rooms, in need of a refurb. Staff are amazing - very friendly and helpful. Excellent location for the early morning ferry, but also close to the lovely beach and cafes/bars. We ate in the hotel in the evening. There is a reasonable, if slightly basic menu but the food was well cooked and the price comparable with other local establishments.

    No dislikes

    A comfortable nights stay after a late crossing and before a drive south to our French home. We requested adjacent rooms, late arrival and breakfast for the party of 3 and all requests were accommodated with good communication. The staff were welcoming and efficient both on arrival and next day at breakfast. The rooms were of a good size and the beds comfortable. The hotel is obviously redecorating some rooms as one room newly decorated and one in need of redecoration but this did not detract from the stay. Everything worked as it should including the showerr which was easy to use. Breakfast was as expected with fresh bread and croissants with cereal, meats and cheeses. Check in and out was easy. Although on the main road to the port we were not disturbed by traffic noise although the occupants of the next room were noisy but not the hotels fault. We had stayed at the hotel some years ago and the experience this time was much improved and we would stay again.

    Some of the facilities listed on my confirmation did not exist. eg. Socket near bed, Dressing Room, Alarm Clock, Executive Lounge Access, Telephone. Whilst these items are not crucial to my holiday there may be some guests arrive who are expecting them. The area where the buffet breakfast is situated is far too small causing a bottleneck when there are more than two people trying to access it.

    Location, Friendliness of most of the staff, particularly the two ladies working in the restaurant at dinner.
