Found this review of the silvermine hotel on tripadvisor. I would be surprised if this person has ever enjoyed staying in any hotel.
“Really NOT impressed. Never again!”

I stayed for 3 nights and that was more that enough.
The service was just OK. I booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child. Age 5 (listed on booking) I was frustrated on arrival to have no bed in the room for my child. But they did sort in reasonble time. Breakfast was included, but not for the child. This was not listed when I booked so I was not happy at all. It cost £7 for child breakfast. Madness as all she ate was a slice of toast.
The hotel is located just minuites walk from the ferry pier and bus station. But when we arrived by taxi we had to walk down a dark alley at night as its not possible to drive up to the front or side of the hotel. Its not that great to go to disney from. its either a bus and MTR ( at least 1 hour) or a cab (£25-30) There is a mac donalds near by and all the other places to eat are not at all inviting. So the hotel have you trapped a little. But the evening buffet is reasonabley tasty.
The rooms and cleaniness are horid. We booked a room in the new wing...maybe new in 1960. The carpet was stained the wall paper was peeling. There was mould around the bath. The floor was dirty in the corners. Lighting was terrible. Fortunatly the bed sheets were very clean. The only saving grace. It is so dated and the aircon was noisey and the fridge kept making stange tick noises that woke us up each night. ( at least I hope it was the fridge)
Returning at the end of a day was no pleasure. But checking out felt good.
