Bad news first: shower didn’t work first day, staff said it was undergoing annual maintenance, surely you do this off peak? After that it was fine. Breakfast room can get filled up very quickly so some people had to wait in hallway for others to finish. Young receptionist said city Centre was 10/15 minutes walk, more like 35/40 but excellent bus service almost outside door and flat rate of £2 for any trip is good value. Staff very friendly, room basic but good value as was car parking charge so all in all a pleasant experience

My observations are that property has inexperienced hospitality staff who are struggling with low level investment from owners. With targeted upskilling and training of staff ,improved building maintenance procedures the property could easily be returned to the levels required to charge the rates they do.

The room smelled of mildew, the carpet was dirty, the toilet didn’t always flush well, and twice we had no hot water for our showers. I’m shocked that Expedia recommended this place, and I’m pondering leaving Expedia I was so upset.

I checked into this hotel and after seeing some reviews decided to give it a thorough inspection. Under the bed was full of dust, garbage (food wrappers) and a pair of sunglasses which means they do not clean the rooms thoroughly. The duvet poking out through the duvet cover was yellow and stained. The actual pillow was stained, and then I noticed a blood stain on the second pillow! After complaining to the hotel attendant Ravi he promised me a refund but the hotel has negged on this and refused. They're instead trying to put the blame on me for refusing to see another room (after blood on a pillow why would I?) and saying Ravi is unauthorized to promise anything (how is that my fault). Horrible hotel. Horrible customer service. Do not stay here.

The hotel offers just the basic conveniences. Room was small, overpriced and a bit musty. It needed some paint!! Far too much street noise. This entire hotel needs to be refurbished. Staff is super friendly, service-oriented, excellent quality. Breakfast tasty with efficient service (fine job). Your people are doing a fine job given what they have to work with. Raise their wages and give this old hotel a face lift.

It’s an older building but nothing is wrong honestly. Just the shower had an odd folding door that made it a bit awkward to enter or exit.

Great location, walkable to Old town. Parking scarce, paid parking in the back was available. Room was quiet and clean. Could use some tlc in bathroom painting. One bedroom lamp was broken and no hallway light to our farthest corner room. Otherwise a great home base stay and pretty decent pricing for what we got :) Would stay again.

The hotel was fine on face value, had an 8/10 score, central and not too pricey - so we booked it. We had a big room on the ground floor - the ceiling to which might as well have been paper. An ant walking in the room above would sound like an elephant. We put up with this for 3 nights for the odd trip to the toilet from those above. On night 4 the tribe of travellers in the room above decided to pack at 1:30am until 2:30am. Then, got up at 7am. I made two complaints, was told the general manager would call me, that’s now been three days without a peep. On the last day the staff were struggling. The front of house was forced to cook, didn’t wash her hands. Then in the open door to the kitchen the pot wash was drying plates with a bathroom towel whilst one of the staff “cleaned” the tables down with a dirty rag of a tea towel. Very poor management, poor commitment and lack of responsibility in following up on reported issues. Really tainted what was otherwise a great break.
