We stayed here as a convenient first stop after a long haul flight. Friendly service and a nice clean hotel. Rooms a re a bit tired, but we loved staying here nonetheless!
This is a solid tradesmens' hotel, clean basic service and a friendly, personable staff. If you want slick and modern, this is not the place for you; but if you want reliable services and a decent breakfast, this could be your home-from-home.
It is as bad as all the bad reviews say. It is a dirty, smelly, run down hotel. Its cheap (£48) but I still feel I paid too much. Luckily I only had to stay one night. If you are desperate for the cheapest hotel then it is OK for a night. I slept OK and shower was hot but left as early as I could.
The room property was stuffy and dusty. The bathroom and the beddings were dirty.
The staff were very friendly though and tried to make my stay as comfortable.
On site parking great.
The building is in disrepair- holes in the walls and doors, graffiti on the doors, very old and unclean. It smelt like cannabis on the top floor. Did not feel safe or comfortable here. I was travelling for business and will not be going back. I ended up sleeping on the towels on the bed and not using a duvet as it didn’t feel clean. I woke up with a cough the next day- haven’t coughed since leaving there or before going. Smelt like urine on the stairs- there was a communal toilet by the stairs. Windows were dirty and old curtains that I didn’t want to touch. Should have read the reviews. It either needs knocking down or a complete renovation. I checked out early and went to work early to not be there. Check in was old fashioned- written invoice and the exact same amount of the room cost was withdrawn from my account from the card I used to book 2 days before arriving. I was then told this was not the hotel and I had to pay again on the day. This resulted in a fraud case being opened by the bank to recall that money and my card being cancelled.
