Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
1. Absolutely atrocious checkin and checkout. If my friend (in another city in the Uk) didn’t have a local sim, I wouldn’t be able to checkin at all. Checkout was just as bad. I sent 5 emails to Expedia, multiple to the property and none form the property were answered. Checkin and checkout instructions were not provided. The reception was in another building but that was never communicated. 2. No toiletries were provided. 3. No coffee or tea was provided. 4. Booked the room for 2 people and only got 1 towel. 5. Would avoid this property altogether. It caused me so much headache.

A lovely family-run guest house. Everything about the property is fantastic. They are helpful and kind. You can walk downtown or cross the street and take the bus, which passes every 10 minutes. There are shops, restaurants, and supermarkets close by. The room was clean and cosy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I normally don’t leave reviews but for something like this I was extremely disappointed. The room I was in was not clean and when I asked the property owners to change the sheets they said that I put something on it, mind you I’d just gotten there two minutes ago and they were showing me my room. The outlet was undone and felt dangerous. The bathroom was so small you couldn’t open the door all the way as it would hit the sink half way through. This wasn’t a very cheap rate either, the easy hotel down the street was charging 5£ less than they did but I decided to go with this because I wanted a more authentic experience and the pictures online looked cozy. Overall was it the worst place you could have? No. Would I recommend it to someone else? Also no. Would I come back? Definitely not. I’ll stick to proper hotels from now on after this experience.
This speaks for itself

I was disappointed with the condition, comfort and cleanliness of my room. I complained so got moved to a slightly nicer room with a much better bed. I was grateful the owner accommodated me. However I won’t stay there

When I arrived at the property, it was unstaffed. There was a list of eight telephone numbers to call. I called one and was directed to open several key safes before the right key was found. When I reached my room, I found that instead of being the “standard” room I’d booked, it was a cheaper “compact room” - much more cramped and much less pleasant. I felt that cleanliness and maintenance left something to be desired - there was cracked and flaking paint, the electrics felt to me pretty amateur with an upside-down light switch, inaccessible desk sockets and a hard-wired extension in flex; there was a squashed moth in one of the walls and grime around. the shower caddy. The towels looked clean but smelt as if they had been stored in a busy kitchen. At night, the property was noisy and I could smell cigarette smoke, presumably from a nearby room. While the property promised a continental breakfast for about £10, there was nowhere to get breakfast. The in-room instructions made it clear that we should ask staff if we encountered any problems. Except there were no staff. I have tried to get help from the property via Expedia’s check-in feedback and messaging systems, but so far I have had no luck.

Comfortable Stay in a Great Location

We had a pleasant stay overall. The room was clean and the bed was really comfy, which made for a good night’s sleep. The location was ideal—close to the city, restaurants, and with parking available nearby. Late check-in was easy thanks to the key code system. The room had some nice touches like tea bags and biscuits, although there wasn’t quite enough milk provided. The only downside was the kettle, which was covered in a white powdery residue—hopefully just limescale, but it wasn’t very appealing. Aside from that, it was a convenient and comfortable place to stay, and I’d consider returning.

Very disappointing experience. I specifically booked a room with a private bathroom, as clearly stated in the listing, but I was given a room with a shared bathroom instead. Despite raising the issue, the hotel refused to provide a room matching the original description, even though availability appeared to exist. The room also had an unpleasant smell throughout my stay. More concerning, the fire door on my floor was wedged open, which raises serious safety concerns. In addition, the hotel is quite far from the city centre, which makes getting around less convenient. Overall, the service and standards did not match what was advertised.
