Location was fine, short walk from haymarket, facilities werent great, but all functioning, hallway stunk (saw a binbag with waste in there, left overnight, more than likely the cause). Reception staff were really friendly and helpful. Was only an overnight stay so served a purpose, anything longer and i wouldnt have been impressed.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and they had a locked baggage room. The carpet in our room wasnt the cleanest and there were coffee granules on the chair. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. It did the job as a very short cheap stay but wouldn't stay for longer than a few days.

Some kind of alarm was going on half night, couldn’t sleep at all! Then water disappeared, hence toilet and shower didn’t work. We had an early flight and couldn’t use any basic necessities. We didn’t rest before the flight at all. I’m requesting a full refund. If it’s granted, I’ll update my review

The worst hotel we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many over the years! It was dirty, shabby and outdated and the customer service of staff is non existent. Never ever again and I pity anyone staying in this hell hole. Moving onto another hotel to get a shower as we wouldn’t take our shoes off in the disgusting bathroom! AVOID at all costs!
