Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Bad condition. No soundproof at all. For two nights I was hearing some weird groaning from the person staying next door. I did not know that the Room I was going to stay at is not en-suite. Dusty and old carpets. Moulds on the wall. The doors were in bad condition. Had to change to TravelLodge for my 3rd night

Halfway house for the underworld!

Pretty sure the place was a halfway house for the underworld! Shower was broken. Toilet was broken. No staff to be seen. Stunk of cannabis. People running up and down the stairs into the early hours and banging doors and shouting. Moved a bed to retrieve a dropped item and the wall was covered in mould. Pretty sure behind there hadn’t seen a hoover in a decade. Beds were so uncomfortable the floor would have been more inviting if it hadn’t been covered in suspicious stains. I could go on and on!!! Disgusting excuse for a hotel

Clean Bed Sheets.......and thats it

The bed was nice with fresh sheets and the bathroom was nice and clean apart from broken tap. We were lucky to have the double with en-suite, other rooms had a shared bathroom. Manky carpets, dirty walls, mouldy ceiling. Noisy. I know its a cheap hotel but wasnt dirt cheap.

This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

I arrived in need of a hot shower and found the shower broken. No way of regulating the temperature and the water was scolding hot i had started to shower so my hair was wet. There was no way to shower due to the temperature so i then tried to dry my hair only to find the hairdryer did not work. No heating in the room so wrapped my wet hair in a towel and slept with cold wet hair all night. Noone on reception. Absolutely appaling. Want a refund and to warn others
