Wards Hotel

Rooms spacious and clean. No Air Conditioning but outside night temp 70 degrees. Had windows to open. Good value for price. 15 minute drive to port to catch cruise ship. Would definitely book again if in area.

Der Zustand des Hotels ist gelinde gesagt katastrophal. Schmutzige Decken auf den Tischen, Spinnweben in den Ecken, die Jalousien mehr defekt als in Ordnung und die Zimmerdecke im Bad hat Risse, die gefährlich aussehen. Die junge Dame am Check in war zwar freundlich, wirkte aber hilflos. Deswegen und weil wir auf die Schnelle keine Alternative hatten, haben wir die Nacht trotzdem über uns ergehen lassen. Immerhin, das Bett war groß, sauber und bequem. Allerdings fehlte das gebuchte dritte Bett. Das wurde zwar durch eine Liege ersetzt, die aber so quitschte, dass wir die Matratze auf den Boden gelegt haben. Die Fenster waren undicht, so dass man jedes Geräusch wahrgenommen hat. Außerdem gab's in ständiges Brummen im Haus, was die Nachtruhe ebenfalls extrem gestört hat. Alles in allem eine Katastrophe. Eine Beschwerde (mit Bildern) über den Expedia-Kundenservice wird folgen mit der dringenden Empfehlung, das Hotel nicht mehr zu vermitteln.

The hotel is easy to find and has a decent sized car park at the rear of the building. The outside looks tatty and the adverts/awards in the windows are all dated. We checked in with no problems and the guy was very helpful although he wasn't based on site and closed reception as soon as we had our keys. This was unfortunate as once we got to the room we realised we didn't have the wifi code. The hotel number was permanently engaged and there was no sign of anyone on the ground floor. The room was clean, reasonably modern, spacious and had a desk for working. There was no internal lock or bolt on the door which was frustrating and there was also no pole to adjust the venetian blinds to close them, which meant we had daylight in the room at 4AM. On the plus side, we were on the second floor so could leave the windows open to get some cool night air in. Overall, a mixed stay at a reasonable price.

Used the hotel as a night stop before an early ferry. It served thus purpose well was clean fidy with an easy check in helpful manager / owner. The hotel is a little dated but tidy and great for our 1 night stay only 15 minutes from either the ferry or eurotunnel.

Quaint wonderful restored in wonderful condition. Fantastic proprietor who attends to your every needs. Bountiful English breakfast. Dinner was superb. Enjoyable stay. 👍
