Basic affordable accomodation. A bit tired but everything worked - great shower, TV, tea & coffee, hairdryer. There's a table tennis room for guests too, but we were too tired to give it a go sadly. A 15 minute walk from town centre.

When I booked it was supposed to have a bath and shower but it only had a shower which was still okay, when I checked out in the morning the girl on reception said it might have been some sort of mix up but other than that the room was okay...

Would Stay again

Amazing hotel comfy beds just let down by noisy guests in room next door at stupid o clock which stopped me sleeping. Reception dealt with issue when asked however guests didn’t care. Cannot fault the staff as they were limited with options but dealt with issue best they could every time.

Very poor for the price. Rooms had a dusty smell. Stained carpets. Breakfast was dreadful. For £15 more I stayed in Dundee in an IHG hotel that was miles ahead of this.
