Hotel du Bassin

Location is good, breakfast nice with nice selection of fresh breads, homemade jams and fresh fruits. Room 12 is possibly smallest room we have ever been allocated for a hotel! The room was clean with a decent size shower and clean towels, but this was the only positive I can give on the room I’m afraid!

Room (12) this room is very small and very hot with no air con! Looks out into harbour but it is extremely noisy and having been allocated probably the smallest and hottest room in the hotel we had to sleep with the windows open hence every noise could be heard including the extremely noisy alarm system going off every time the bridge is raised at the harbour!!! We were given a fan to help with the heat however this did not help much and it was also very noisy!! On our last morning we woke up to a really bad sewerage smell in the room, obviously they were having a problem with their waste system! This was not pleasant in an extremely hot room!! Also our room is allocated across from the laundry which would not have helped with the heat in the room! When checking out we asked do they have air con in any of their rooms and we have yet to hear yes or no! The gentleman at reception told us they have newer rooms and extending the hotel but he did not give us the answer to our question which believe should have been No!! Staff were pleasant, however not over friendly. The waiter at breakfast on first day was very nice however the waiter the next two days was not so friendly and at some occasions looked like he didn’t want us there... it would have been nice if he could have wished us ‘Good Morning’ and ‘have a nice day’ but we have yet to hear either!!! Overall it was an ok hotel but would not be one of my recommendations I’m afraid!
