Was pleasantly surprised with the service. While the overall hotel condition was a little dated, the bed was comfortable, the room looked clean and breakfast options were good. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. I would use it again if I was in town and would recommend - great for the price.

We got put in a adjoining room, the sound insulation was none existent, we got woke up by noisy neighbours at 6am., also a big bugbear, I have a CPAP sleep apnea machine which needs a 13amp supply so no socket near the bed, had to buy a extension socket to reach across the room which is a trip hazard ie health and safety issue

Very little sleep to be had due to the tiredness of the hotel loud terrible creaking floors, banging doors and noise from the family’s that are clearly being housed throughout the hotel. Room was disgusting, covered in stains, and smelly. Remnants where someone had deficated in the corner of a stairwell Breakfast terrible no fresh fruit apart from some old apples in a fish and some tinned compot

Centrally located. Staff are absolutely helpful and very friendly. No fault there. Be warned it is next to a busy road so if you are given a room facing the road, come very tired, or very intoxicated so you can sleep. Otherwise, if you stay longer the sound becomes white noise and helps you relax. Again, I compliment the staff - professional, friendly and make you feel very welcome.
