Much better room than you would expect for a 2 star property; everything is a good size, the bed is decent (firm mattress). Lift broke down which wasn't ideal as I'm disabled.

Over priced and located next to a cluster of noisy night clubs and bars. Although ear plugs were provided free of charge. Bed very uncomfortable. Building was filthy and stank. The staff however were pleasant and polite and helpfull. Concern is more the management and over seeing. Company clearly doesnt care much about customer comfort and satisfaction. Breakfast was charged at double rate on here! £21 Expedia clearly extorting!

They think it's all over

A very easy to use budget hotel in a usefully central position. Car-parking was very useful, if difficult to find at first. What spoiled it for us was the noise outside our first floor window, with late-night rowdiness and vomiting followed by a cacophany of morning deliveries summed up by the voice of a driver after what sounded like the collapse of a building saying 'well if they weren't awake before, they are now, haha!'

Despite a commotion with police involvement disturbing our sleep in the early hours of Saturday morning it did not affect the rest of the stay. Staff were polite and helpful.
