Wouldn't stay here again. The only positive was location. The room we were given had no TV and apparently the whole building was the same, not. I went down to see if I could get a refund and were told that we wouldn't be able to but I could have a look at 2 other rooms. Had a look at them and chose another room and guess what there was TV. The room was filthy, the shower was dirty, the whole building needs a complete review. There were broken power outlets everywhere, if you got stuck in the lift to bad the phone was wrecked.

Very good central location which was convenient but bathroom was mouldy and had small flying insects. The bed and pillow seemed clean and comfortable but the rest of the room was questionable on whether it had been cleaned thoroughly. The towel looked stained which was a bit off-putting. You can hear city noises at night but it subsides after around 11pm. This could be a suitable last-minute or budget option if you won't be spending much time in the room, but it might be worth spending more on a nicer place, especially because of the state of the bathroom.

Room was average, dust & dirt around window ledgers, beside the fridge, shower wasn't clean. No toilet roll holder. Lift smelt like urine, only one working out of 3. The whole place needs a decent clean. all around the edges of the walls where the carpet is bad. There was a homeless person asleep in the entrance hall near the lifts on Thursday mornong around 7.30am. No one a t reception then. Toilet in 421 was running all the time.

It's in a great location and that's pretty much where the positives end. The elevator was covered in graffiti that hasn't been cleaned off (foreshadowing of what was to come). The walls of the room were covered in marks, and the floor around the edges and behind the bed were covered in very visible thick dust about an inch and a half wide. The air-conditioner was very noisy but it was effective. The sheets on the bed were clean but there wasn't enough to keep warm so I had to keep the air-conditioner on overnight, which would've been fine if it wasn't so noisy. The sink is too close to the toilet. The shower was stained and looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a while and the towels stunk of bleach.

Didn't interact with any staff due to a late check-in and very early check-out, but I didn't mind that. Instructions for after hours check-in were straightforward, and easy to follow, much appreciated! Room was clean and organised, and I liked the toiletries provided, very useful as I'd forgotten mine for that trip. Overall, I had no issues, and will very much book here again when staying in the city.

The rooms were nothing like what is pictured when booking. The whole place was dirty, poorly maintained - no lights in fixtures and the ones that were working kept pulsing, cracked walls broken windows, cups filthy and no tea or sugar in room, graffiti in the lifts, carpets’s trashed, plaster dust on the floor. Owners need to spend the money and fix it up or get out of owning hotels. Would NOT EVER recommend anyone to stay here.

The room was filthy. The window had jagged remains of broken glass and glass was in the room. It could not be closed.There was old take-away in the fridge, graffiti in the elevator, Mould in the bathroom and a lost pill behind the door which is clearly never vacuumed. We left. I have photos! The price was higher than for a Travelodge, so we expected clean and functional.

The hotel is in a great location for everything you might need and is cheap. My stay was fine but the cleaning needs to be done thoroughly to bring it up to a reasonable standard. The bathroom and toilet needed a good scrub. Dishes had to be washed in the bathroom basin but no cleaning equipment provided. I bought my own detergent and cloths as well as a coffee mug, bowl, and utensils as there were only 2 cups and one teaspoon provided. It was quiet in my room, which was great for sleeping at night, and the bed was comfy with clean bedding. No mattress protector though. I appreciated being able to access Netflix on the TV, and it was good to have tea, coffee and milk provided.
