    7GianlucaPosted on: 2-14-2026

    Near the city centre, close to bars and places to eat. Easy and simple check in. For a night or 2, it's good

    5GPosted on: 2-13-2026

    Passable

    Window broken TV remote missing back lathe amount of space with nothing in the bathroom very rough experience

    6LindzPosted on: 1-11-2026

    The room was warm and 11 o clock check out is amazing .

    No wine glasses was available , wasn't enough coffee and milk no bottles fresh water.

    6EstherPosted on: 1-7-2026

    You get what you pay for, cheap as chips for a mediocre room, that is reflected in the quality of the room. Very outdated and rough looking furniture, and the shower head didn't sit correctly in the holder. A bit on the cold side for my liking, even with radiator turned on full.However, it was quiet, and the location is handy as it's right near the station. The staff were really friendly too. This place just needs a good update and a bit of love and that would make it great!

    Fix the shower head.Get some rugs/carpet, the wood floor was really cold.Turn up the heating. Fluffier pillows.

    Bad

    Rude service complete scam payed by booking.com and asked us for £200 when we got there as a deposit and because I didnt want to pay it they cancelled the room DO NOT BOOK WITH THUS SCAM HOTEL!!!!RUINED OUR NEW YEARS EVE

    The door in the room worked

    Bed . Shocking , a solid 18 mm mdf sheet with a solid thin mattress on top , bed creaked ever time you moved slightly . I got no sleep that night , but I was only there for the one night . So I thought my nightmare was over only for the hotel to ring me the following night at midnight ,waking me up even when I was home . Shocking

    Central location, close to shops and restaurants. Ideal for travellers and workers as next to Wetherspoons, for breakfast and dinner.

    The staff were great very responsive and resolved my issue immediately, as my room was over a rock bar. I could hear the music, however not only did they asked the bar to turn the music down in the evening but they moved me to a quieter room the next day too. The hotel itself is quite outdated, and I would not say it’s worth £150 for 2 nights. Absolutely cannot for the life of me justify that shocking price. It has the facilities but there is not an ounce of luxury. I was there for a work conference so I can imagine the prices were really amped up, but nothing within the hotel justifies that, even the kind friendly staff.

    Overall VERY outdated. Old bedside tables. Rusty metal handles in the bathroom. Old paint job, cracks and marks all over the woordwork, on the bathroom door. Mattress wasn’t the most comfortable either. No toiletries, only handsoap in the bathroom. Toilet flushing system was so poor I was battling with flushing 6-7 times at least. Stained duvet, although the sheets and pillow cases were clean. Ultimately, again, NOT worth £150 for 2 nights.

    The noise and the bed was not comfy

    Last minute booking accepted

    The staff were rude and really unhelpful. As it was a last minute booking none of us had ID, but all the booking details were on phone along with proof of payment, pin confirmation etc but the receptionist refused to give our paid for room and then another person got involved and was rude and to sum it all up, the receptionist said I was lucky to be with my black partner and he want saying the things he would like to say to me!! I was disgusted and so were the couple who were waiting to book in behind us too.
