Cheap but dated

Staff were friendly/helpful etc, bar prices were reasonable..interior is very dated and well worn/past its sell by date..heating was on so it was warm enough..I was there late and leaving early so it was just a bed for the night etc, worst bit for me was the hopeless shower, water was nice and hot but there was no water pressure at all and it barely trickled out..(even an electric shower would have been better and they are useless).....

The room was ancient and very tired… there was damage to the bathroom door as if someone had punched a hole in it… bathroom window wouldn’t close… hot water was non existent, beds were uncomfortable and well used, duvet cover hardly covered the mattress, room was cold…. If it wasn’t so late in the day I wouldn’t have stayed there… the lady on reception was the only saving grace, she was friendly and helpful.

When needs must

The room wasn't ensuite as advertised. It was shabby to the exent of being south east asia. Broken wall plaster, zero advertised wifi and grubby. The shared bathroom was in a horrid state broken tiles poor water pressure etc. Only saving factor was 70% of the staff 70% of that were more interested in the bar 1 short haired women was the ridest person ive ever met. It was cheap and met my needs people pay the extra 20 per night

This place lets down the OYO brand, big time. The approach is down a narrow unlit street, which had groups of lads loitering in the dark. The carpark isn't labelled as such, and looks like it belongs to a different building. The room I was given had no heating, the radiator having broken. I insisted on a change - it was -1 overnight - and was given a room with an electric radiator that hadn't been plugged in, and took an age to warm the room. The room carpet had burn marks from and iron and stains from I don't know what. The ensuite sink was badly broken and glued back together. The mattress had seen better days... many, many better days. Even the rubbish bin was broken. There was no desk - I'd intended working. There was no bedside lamp - had to get out of bed to turn the light off. The communal areas were unclean. The staff were non-existent, with one notable exception of the lady who moved me to a different room, and really did her best to accommodate against difficult circumstances, which included the fact that she was also working alone behind the bar in the pub area. Even simple things - like, having room numbers so there is some kind of logical progression as to where each guest might find their room - seems to have passed them by. Each room has a woman's name. Great... so, does Victoria come before or after Jennifer? Honestly, this was a mistake. OYO, either bring it up to your usual higher standards, or get out before it damages your whole reputation.

I found what I could only assume was a bag that had had white powder in it in my bedside draw, so much for cleaning. Hole in bathroom door, bathroom window was broken. In all the state of the hotel and the location was awful.
