The hotel has worn carpet throughout. My wife was too embarrassed to invite friends in. Our unit was compact. The bedside lights didn't work. The air con did work. We wont be back.

Good stay overall. The rooms are compact and simple, but exactly what you’d expect from the budget range—functional, clean, and perfectly adequate for a short stay. The location is a real plus. Everything I needed was within around a 20-minute walk, making it easy to get around without relying on transport. Staff were friendly throughout, often wishing guests good morning when passing in the corridors, which added a nice, welcoming touch. The only real negative for me was breakfast on the first morning. The area was clearly overrun and had run out of several essentials—cups, plates, bread for toast, milk and butter—and the coffee machine wasn’t working as the drip tray was full. Staff did eventually get on top of this, but it took around 20 minutes for things to settle. On the following two mornings, the breakfast area was much quieter and everything ran far more smoothly, which showed the setup works well when it isn’t under pressure. Overall, a solid budget stay with friendly staff, a great central location, and clean, functional rooms.

The shower had no door, just a curtain which leaked water into the room including the carpet. The room smelled damp and gross. It worked for a quick 2 night stay in a great location but would rather spend a bit more money for something better in the future. Also, I forgot a small pocket size mirror and after confirming they found it, they refused to hold on to it for 2 weeks until I came back.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the hotel location was great and our room was quiet, maintenance was neglected. With no tea towel to wash cups for a second drink, sugar was lacking and not filled (had to get more twice), no rubbish bin in the room or bathroom, no power point in the bathroom, which had the only mirror, making it hard to get ready. The walls leading to the room from the lifts and inside our room were damaged by the lack of care from what I assume were laundry trollies; however, it was odd that these laundry trollies were filled and left in the hallways, making it hard to walk down with luggage.

Only one pillow on each bed, normally there is two bed so I did have to ask for an extra one but that was okay just a bit surprised. The bed lights attached to the bed were broken and did not work. The little window in the room that’s a lot of light in so this was quite frustrating. And lastly the small countertop was dirty when I first arrived into the room. (Sticky marks from juice?) The whole building could do with a refurb, it’s kind of dirty and the flooring is quite stained. Overall a little bit pricey for what you get.
