The hotel is definetely a bit shabby and down-at-heel, but it is clean and the staff friendly. Although it was a shared bathroom this was not a problem. The shower was surprisingly strong and as hot as i needed. The room was small but the matress on the bed was very comfortable. If you're happy with cheap but clean then I'd recommend it. I'd stay again

This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.

Well all you need to know is we passed the police raiding with Tasers drawn in the corridor as we were leaving... Unclean, unwelcoming locked front door, very tired fittings, mouldy, musty smelling, broken tap, could go on. Recommended if you want to be on Police camera action.

Clean Bed Sheets.......and thats it

The bed was nice with fresh sheets and the bathroom was nice and clean apart from broken tap. We were lucky to have the double with en-suite, other rooms had a shared bathroom. Manky carpets, dirty walls, mouldy ceiling. Noisy. I know its a cheap hotel but wasnt dirt cheap.
