Small rooms and bed was comfy, the carpets could do with a deep clean or even removing completely; given that it is a pet-friendly hotel, I’d suggest the latter. Besides that, the hotel is comfortable and well located. Cheap and cheerful and dog-friendly.

Excellent location and value for money, but the soft furnishings are looking a bit shabby. Replacing the carpets throughout the building would be the obvious place to start. I’d stay at the hotel again.

For the price the hotel was amazing! Our room was lovely and clean and had everything we needed! It was a short walk from the city centre too so an excellent location! Unfortunately we had a fire evacuation at 2:30am which was the only thing that made our trip less enjoyable but apart from that we had a lovely stay!
