Convenient but very noisy, dusty and not very comfortable. If price is low worth it but best in mind very dusty noisy and food for breakfast very minimal

This property to be honest how it receives it’s ok to run as a guest house!
It’s incredibly outdated, expensive, with a hideous bathroom, broken window, tv that doesn’t start, wifi that is limited, kitchen that is worse than a restaurant kitchen, what era is this place stuck in ?
Poor, definitely wouldn’t not book again.
The only positive thing were the reception staff which were welcoming and accommodating

One of the worst hotels I have stayed in. Tiny little room on the third floor which was not very nice. No Aircon on the hottest day of the year so had to keep the window open which then meant very little sleep from the noise on the main road outside. With the state of the room we didn't even chance getting in the bed and slept on top. No tea or coffee facilities. All we were left with was some used milk pots and opened tea bags. Didn't even bother with breakfast as we were pretty much told to get in early or it would be too busy. Not worth it for what we were also told was tea, toast and serial. Not what I would call a continental breakfast. Passed three guys in the morning who had clearly had an awful night too and we're not happy. Certainly not worth the money even as a place to get ure head down, and that's from someone who often finds a floor to doss on anywhere when I'm at work. Definitely would not recommend or go back.

Small room. uncomfortable bed. Tiny bathroom similar to an RV and not very clean.. weird smell when you shower.. WiFi is not free and you not only have to pay for each device but it also doesn’t work very well and even if you pay for a day it will shut off before 24 hours is up. The breakfast is literally just toast. The stairway up is unsafe with luggage’s. The key cards randomly stop working. Not worth the money.

Staff, very pleasant and helpful.
Room very clean, great mattress.
Bathroom clean, shower perhaps a bit low on water pressure, but decent and hot water.
All in all, great value for money.
