The Roundabout Hotel

Overall a pleasant stay with...

Liked: Room was sufficiently spacious for our needs. Good 'in bath' shower. Breakfast was good value and plentiful. All of the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. During our nearly 48 hour visit, the (often) sole member of customer facing staff was constantly rushed off her feet.
Disliked: Hotel has a feeling of being a little tired. Stair rails are sticky to the touch and the bathroom in our room was grubby below sink area and round bath. Not enough towels although that was rectified on request. We felt that whilst satisfactory and good food the evening dinner menu was limited. We chose the hottest days of the year to stay and having windows open meant you allowed in extremely loud traffic noise.

Pleasant

Liked: The staff are lovely, always welcoming, nice pub, great breakfast.
Disliked: The bed was awful, the spung mattress was well past it's best. The lights in the bathroom failed after 3 mins, overheated transformer, came back on after being switched off for a while, then failed totally on the second day. After my shower, I tried the hair dryer, which went bang in my hands, glowed inside and started smoking. Our room overlooked the beer garden and it was a bit noisy. The road noise was quite bad too. The secondary double glazing had been removed and the old wooden sash window stopped no noise. We were offered a refund if we wanted to find alternative accomodation, but, at 7pm on a Saturday night, the hottest weekend of the year, with a dog, we couldn't find anything nearby. So we had to stay. This is such a shame as we stayed here last week (different room) and we were very happy.

Would definitely recommend and stay...

Served its purpose for an...

Liked: Convenient for onward travel after a late ferry arrival, just 10 minutes from the port, friendly staff, included breakfast was OK, decent value, car park OK for putting a motorcycle out of sight, bed linen, towels etc fresh and clean.
Disliked: Location is not good if you’re not used to traffic noise - there’s no let up all night long, both from the adjacent island and the nearby dual carriageway - the hotel itself is a little tired but OK for an overnight.
