A old building so quiet quirky. Lots of plug sockets and a fan provided as there is no aircon. The shower was really powerful. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Barry

Disliked: Staff & service
Whilst the actual stay was generally acceptable, we had SERIOUS issue concerning our return booking 11/12 June (Ref. 73064796017052). Upon booking this return we pre-contacted the manager who confirmed that our late ferry arrival circa 11:30pm could accomodate late access, given prior notice. However the manager 3/4th June would/ could not re-confirm late access availability, nor communicate this for/to the later manager even with prior notice. A company administration/ communication customer failure. We then cancelled our return booking to a welcoming alternative hotel who had no such isssue !!! Won't visit Shah of Persia again.

Good place to stay but needs a clean

The check-in was great on arrival with plenty of info from Courtney. The food in the pub was also good with no complaints. The room I stayed in needs a good deep clean both in the bedroom and bathroom. You could also hear every noise from people walking past your room with the floors creaking and doors shutting which made for a terrible nights sleep.
