Reasonably priced for budget accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff during the day. Basic maintenance needed to fix broken fittings (power point, heat pump) which they tried to do while there with limited success. Central location is great. Our room had its own bathroom. Wouldn’t want to use the shared facilities as not very clean. Upstairs shared kitchen and laundry facilities were good but steep stairs and leaky roof were concerns. Generally okay for a night or so.

The guy at reception is super nice and welcoming. I'm a female lone traveller and felt safe there. Very well located. I stayed in the standard room with ensuite. Super happy. I should not on Friday night the noise was pretty loud from the surrounding bar areas in comparison to the Thursday night. I still managed to dose off just something to note. Will be staying there again without a doubt.

No lift very inconvenient for a stroller. Very dirty shared bathrooms, paper towels always empty toilets not cleaned properly, if at all, mould in various places water stains on ceilings and flaky paint throughout the building. Shabby appliances. Building In much need of maintenance throughout.
