Small very smelly old rooms with one sink for toilet & tea & coffee. Horrible old soft flat pillows. Banging doors. No fly screens. Parking difficult & space. Staff friendly & helpful.

Hotel ideally situated for stopping overnight when arriving late on the ferry, rooms all upstairs but comfortable, a fair bit of noise especially from other guests talking loudly when heading to their rooms and when congregating in the common room. Reasonably priced, excellent food in the restaurant.

Confusing check-in process. The Formby itself looks lovely and I got great service from them, but at the Alexandra (where I actually stayed) staff were gruffly blunt, bordering on uncaring. A suggestion may be to advertise the Alexandra as specifically a boarding-house, and the Formby as a short-stay hotel.

Friendly staff who assisted me to check in without hassles. Location is great with shopping district nearby. Communal areas are reasonably clean. Good value for money.
