Quite satisfied

Friendly staff in a city centre hotel. It was clean, good breakfast. I was happy with the room. The car park was right behind the hotel and took me a while to find it amongst other private car parks. The wifi was a touch tempermental at times.

It was a bad start as I couldn't find the car park or a sign for it and I ended up paying £16 for parking. The hotel was good and comfortable and the breakfast was very good.

Dirty, uncomfortable, cold (no choice to put heating on) tv didn’t work. Shower didn’t work properly. Wouldn’t stay here again. Cheap enough but you literally pay for a dirty mattress and a tea towel for a pillow.

Overnight Stay

Great location, central to the lively city centre and on the doorstep of the railway station. Although there's a busy night-time economy all around the hotel, we didn't experience and noise disturbance.

I regret staying at this hotel. The stairs are carpeted and in need of a wash and vacuum.Floors are uneven so wearing heels is a hazard here. The double room had wall paper peeling off, the carpet was dirty, windows rusty and the bathrooms ceiling was flaking off in chunks and mouldy wood.

Acceptable for the price.

Bearing ion mind that is a 2 star hotel and exceptionally well priced, I would say my stay was closer to 3 stars than 2. The lift was not working on arrival and I had to climb to the 3rd floor with my suitcase and backpack. I have a major health issue and this was tough. The hotel is generally run down and shabby, but the staff are pleasant and the breakfast was excellent. Housekeeping was quite poor and only the bare minimum was done. The room was comfortable and there was plenty of tea, coffe milk, etc.
