It was clean but condition of room wasnt great. It served the purpose of a last minute cheap option. Was a bit difficult to find as entrance is between shops and the rooms are above the shops.

All rooms above a barbershop on a parade of shops. Good size room, generally clean, a little grubby around the shower area. Overall, we would recommend it.

It was fine for one person, especially for the price, and if you don't need to stay in the room during the day. The loo, shower and sink were all just in one small tiled room with no shower curtain and with minimal ventilation.

Simple and did the job for one night.

Was contacted for checkin and warmly greeted. Accommodation consisted of en-suite room. Room was clean and simple. Wifi included which was good for work. Ensuite was dated and could do with a revamp or silicon reapplied. When shower is in use the whole bathroom got wet - a shower screen would be valuable. I would stay again if visiting one night.
