Best Western Hotel La Mare O Poissons

Warm and friendly welcome. Very pleasant and very clean room with view over pool. All the amenities necessary for a comfortable night's stay. Very convenient for the ferry port and a 2 minute drive to town centre to find restaurants [if you don't want to eat in the hotel] less

We stayed here one night before catching the morning ferry. It is only 3 or 4 minutes from the terminal but is very quiet. Staff are very helpful and the room had everything we needed. A very good buffet breakfast is served from 6.30am so there is time to eat before setting off. The restaurant is very good but is run independently and booking for dinner is strongly advised as we saw people without reservations turned away. less

We spend a very pleasant night here and although we arrived late we were given a warm welcome and, after getting settled decided to have a nightcap in the bar. The environment is very tastefully decorated with big white squishy couches and armchairs and a modern fake fire and other modern decoration in black and white. The room was clean and comfortable as was the bathroom. As we were only there for a brief overnight we didn't have a chance to use the restaurant or the pool - which looked quite small. Breakfast was served in a dining area just off the bar and, although there was plenty of choice it was not to my taste. There was a cold buffet of meats and cheeses, fruit and yoghurts and cereals. There was also a selection of hot food of scrambled egg, bacon and sausage. Unfortunately, the hot plate was cold as was the food and the sausages were chopped up hotdog style. I sent my meal back in order to get a fresh plate and explained and the waitress turned up the hotplate. I returned a few minutes later and it was a bit warmer though not hot and the eggs had set solid. I hope they can sort this out. On reflection I could have cooked myself a freshly boiled egg with toast. Despite this we found it comfortable and convenient for the ferry port and have already booked for our next trip to the UK. less

Checked in for 2 night stay and all seemed pleasant, room was small but ok with very small shower room . But was adequate for what was needed and the bed was pretty comfy . We had busy schedule so didn’t have the breakfast. But on our return we asked for a table in restaurant but was told fully booked despite being resident. The hotel was far from fully booked infact I say less than half so I found this odd . I enquired if any takeaways nearby as the town is half hour walk away an rather abruptly got told no but carrefours nearby I could walk to . We had no choice but to do that or taxi to town so we braved the walk through a group of resident immigrants that live on roundabout outside hotel that where very intimidating nd was not a pleasant experience. When we got back at 8.30 pm only 5 tables in restaurant sat at so about 25% full very annoying . Firstly if only got staff to cover 5 tables then this should be spelled out at time of check in so alternative plans can be made. Secondly to be told to walk to supermarket to get supplies through a potentially dangerous area unacceptable. I am a diabetic and being left in a situation like that could potentially have been dangerous. And thirdly the staffing levels where very low only ever one person often nowhere to be found if you wanted to purchase a drink or ask a question. We found this hotels facilities to be a let down and would not return less

We’re staying for four nights on a Band of Brothers tour. I couldn’t be more happy about this hotel. The management is great. The breakfast is the best we’ve had, including Paris at an Ibis. This wis SA great place to stay. less
