Disliked: Staff & service
Accommodation most certainly isn’t a hotel, at most it could be classed as student room in someone’s house and in a very unappealing area. Ridiculous check in having to wait for self check in key pad to work (and being told by host to wait outside in a very seedy area for 3 minutes whilst the lock resets itself) I most certainly will not return and will not recommend to anyone in fact would go as far as letting people know how bad it is and definitely well over priced. Can’t understand how you get away with selling it as you do the pictures you advertise certainly do not show the deprived area it is situated in.

Good but some issues

2 things. 1- it’s not value for money. For the same price -You could get holiday inn/ even delta Marriott if booked a few weeks in advance and they are much Much superior. 2- the location/ getting to it is very difficult. Narrow streets, you get lost half the time…parking is charged separately- you are told to fill forms… all not straight forward. It’s a converted house basically, allot of taste and effort has gone into converting it. It’s nice and clean. They check you are uk via WhatsApp, but all is remote. Maybe I am used to staying in chains such as delta, holiday inn, premiere inn etc - but comparing them as their price is less than this place .

Nice house, rooms are clean, parking is easy, suitable for business travelers with a limited budget. The only problem is the front door lock is not working as it should, and since there's no reception, if you make three incorrect entries, you have to wait outside for 5 minutes before you can try again. If the weather is cold and you've come from a long journey, it tests your patience at the door. Apart from that, it's a comfortable house, I would recommend it if they fix the entrance lock."

The room was beautiful and very clean with the expected amenities provided. The online city guide was particularly appreciated and helped us choose a spot for dinner. I had a little difficulty getting in and out with the pram but that’s to be expected given the type of property. We had trouble arranging parking which wasn’t resolved until after we had arrived, meaning we ended up paying for parking quite a distance away from the hotel due to its location, but this was largely to do with the hotels.com app blocking personal information. Overall, I would recommend to others and stay again.

Keypad to get in the property is finicky when raining. They need to have it more protected from the rain somehow. As when it gets wet it doesn’t work. The pillows were hard, flat and lumpy. But the bed was comfortable. The rooms were simple but clean. Bathroom was nice. It looked newly renovated. Price was good. Distance to town was walkable. So would give it a 4/5
