The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was helpful and really friendly. Unfortunately, there’s a club next-door that pounds music into your room until the wee hours. If I come back to the area during the week, I would stay again, but not on the weekend.

Room was a decent size but in need of updating.toilet was very difficult to flush, it took alot of flushing to flush, we ended up using the toilet downstairs.Some Furniture was dusty..carpet needed a hoover..big gap on the bottom of door, could see the light from hallway..room smelt nice and was good having a little hallway to the toilet and wardrobe. Heard lots of complaints from other guests and the person on reception didn't really have many answers or help much. Shame as was location

No room at the inn.

Upon booking the same day, with plenty of availability, arrived to the only room left in the hotel, upon checking into the room it was not serviced from the previous occupants. Was told I’ll get a refund sent on my way, not what I wanted to hear at 11 o’clock at night absolutely appalling service. From a short amount I saw of the hotel it appears they have made a little progress from the last time I stayed here. Don’t waste your money. Go stay at a proper hotel..

Lovely hotel , perfectly situated in the city centre. Clean and tidy but some features in the rooms need attention, such as bathroom grouting and blown bath panel . The staff were all pleasant and accommodating. Breakfast was fine on Saturday with table service, although the portions were a bit light . But the Sunday was somewhat shambolic with unlaid tables , people queuing and food running out, the girls serving tried but it needed better organisation. That said , we would stay here again, hoping that the minor issues would be resolved

Tired, dated and disgusting carpets

The rooms were very tired and the carpet was disgusting with stains everywhere. The room was boiling and the shower would only produce scalding hot water. I have stayed here previously but it has really gone down hill, I would not recommend staying here.
