The Edinburgh Castle

1. Bit noisy with people outside the room late at night and the train sat running REALLY early but it is direct on the ferry port. Loved the room it was nicely decorated and comfortable. Plenty of tea,coffee,milk,sugars etc.Quality bedding and towels. Lovely lady served us and made our breakfast which was the best we’ve had at anywhere we’ve stayed

2. Close to the station. Makeshift place. But it did the job for one night. We couldn’t eat the sausages at breakfast. They were off. Nice staff. And they have a dog who drinks at the bar. Which was novel.

3. Stayed for one night after arriving on late ferry at Holyhead. Reception agreed to stay open until we got there after midnight for check-in which was great. The lady who showed us to our room was very friendly and welcoming. The room was spot on for the one night quick stay. Tidy room. Kettle. Great shower. TV.
   Breakfast the next day was great – full English and some cereal options too.
   The hotel definitely is ‘rough and ready’. On our late arrival there was some drunk locals sat at the bar – which is also the reception for check-in. There is a musty cigarette smell when you first walk in and the decor is quite out of date. Not so much parking next to the hotel is also a slight downfall. Aesthetics aside the hotel is great and fit for purpose!

4. These are rooms attached next to a local bar. To paraphrase the manager, they do not pretend to be something they are not. That being said, it was a pleasant one night while we catch a ferry or train. Easy walk, (once you know which direction from the station).
   Room was tiny (especially with luggage) including bathroom, but was clean with comfortable beds and good towels. Surprisingly quiet, even with the window open a bit. Wifi was good. Full english breakfast was filling and one of the better ones we’ve had. The staff, Kelly and manager Sandra were hospitable, friendly and super nice (in a colorful barkeep way…they don’t take much gruff, but give a lot of laughter).

5. Good local pub right on entrance to ferry port, basic but clean and comfortable rooms, with kettle and hairdryer,good powerful shower. Staff very friendly and helpful, good cooked breakfast. Lidl next door. Can’t hear the bar from the room. Some traffic noise when ferry offloads but the 2am one I didn’t hear so couldn’t have been too loud as I am a light sleeper. For 70 quid a night it’s great. Well done 👍
