The Racquet Club

Rooms an Absolute Disgrace. Clean but Very, Very, Dated, Warn Out and Tired the 1st room Room 1, was like a Prison Cell so we asked to move the only other room available was Room 6 stained carpets, a bed with a mattress that was out of the Ark on top of a Plywood Base. It's probably the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept and also the worst room I ever stayed in....

Been here twice now and it is a really lovely venue. I haven't stayed at the hotel so I can't comment on that, but if you want to host a party here then this is a great venue. Really spacious and the staff are lovely. Lovely original features too..

Big rooms, but not clean Stayed for 1 night. Pros: The double room was big, with a ensuite bathroom that was also very spacious. The receptionist was friendly and check in was straightforward. The location is pretty central and convenient. Cons: the room was quite tired - mattress was creaky and very uncomfortable, and cleanliness was not good. The bedside lamp was held together by used chewing gum- very grim. Every time you leave the building you have to leave your room key with reception which is inconvenient. There is no car parking. Overall very much not worth the £160 I had to pay, would not recommend.

I stayed at the Racquet Club for 1 night before catching ferry, at a very reasonable price booked direct with the hotel. The building is slightly shabby in places and very grand in others, with some of the highest ceilings I've ever seen. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom, good sized towels. I asked for a quiet room and got one, remarkably so for its location. The location is fantastic and very convenient for the ferry terminals. As so many other reviewers have said, the care and attention from staff was superb. The receptionist on duty went well above and beyond to get the TV in my room functioning, successfully and cheerfully. Much appreciated, and I would definitely stay there again.

Nice hotel Nice friendly staff very helpful nice and clean hotel furniture is a bit tired but bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay again

This facility does not run as a real hotel but rather as a family rental. I could not leave my baggage for a few hours after checking out because I was told no one would be there for the rest of Sunday! Seriously?!! It is also so inconvenient that you have to leave your keys every time you leave the hotel and then get them back when returning. Usually, there is no one at the front desk, and you have to look around or call a number to get help. Moreover, the furniture is pretty outdated from 50 years ago, and the water in the sink are either cold or too hot (two separate faucets); you cannot mix!!
