For the price, it was decent... but if you ignore the unkept outside, ripped curtains on the right of the entry, ripped carpet on the stairs...the room was really clean! The shower was on another level old and dirty. There was, we assumed, full time residents staying there. On the corner of a main road, it was noisy and with no air conditioning, we had to have windows open.One 'share' kitchen was old and dirty with a bar fridge full of others things. It should be advertised as a 'back packers' accommodation. Cheap but not real cheerful!

We had a great overnight stay. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft and clean. The pillows were just right! The building and the street outside were quiet. The windows opened to let in fresh air. The building is very old and you can sense that with the attention now, it will regain its glory and again be a great place to stay. Overall a good stay - not high end but the staff and good sleep made it great.

Our biggest issue was not having hot water throughout our stay. We tried to have a shower soon after check in but discovered no hot water. This was not mentioned at check in or as soon as it was known - when we rang and asked they said it may be fixed tomorrow after our stay finished. Apart from that the property was a bit tired but had the essential amenities and was very clean.

Our one night was good although the bed was to hard and the night life bar fights noisy in all not a bad place to stay could do with a fridge in the room as there was no where for cold drinks and the guests fridge was full of food

This property is full with Ministry of social delinquents clients that sleep all day and are very noisy all night. The room was reasonably clean but the hall and entrance was dirty and unkept. To top it off the shower was Luke warm at night but stone cold in the morning.

This place was nice enough. Room was quiet and clean and a good place to stop off for the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a communal kitchen area that had seen better days but was clear the staff were trying to make the place better through renovations. Parking across the street was fantastic. Good place to stay on a budget.

It was a lovely hotel which was once built for the queen's potential visit.

4/10

Filthy old building with some very lazy renovation work. Had the joy of listening to a permanent resident beat his wife for most of the first night. Do not stay here unless you have zero other choice.
