Was very impressed at the friendliness of the staff, they took great care of us and let us park our car before check-in and even after checking out. Very charming old school hotel.

Spent one night here as a stopover on our way home in Scotland, we’ve stayed here before so knew what it was like. For the price we paid for bed and breakfast we can’t really complain about anything, it’s an old building, very tired in areas but our room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was fine. If I had to complain about anything it would be the lack of hot water, it was barely lukewarm but it’s summer so bearable.

Worst room we have ever stayed in at this hotel. Bathroom was a bit smelly as was outside the room, creaky floor, very dated. Had slanted ceiling so spent most of the time bent over. Definitely not worth the price of the room

Eventually......
We checked in at about 21.00 & given room 110, unpacked our bits & popped out for food, only to notice the door lock was broken and the door wouldnt lock. Down to reception and moved next door to room 109, not for long as the windows wouldnt open (Hot Room). Back to reception to try get another room. 317 was given and this was acceptable even though we had to use a can of deodorant to jam the window open! A ver comfortable sleep and as we had bother getting a room that worked the lovely reception lad (Dale) chuck a free breakfast in for the 3 of us - which was 110% - very nice. Plenty to choose from Buffet. Stay again - Yes!

Lovely staff. Shabby hotel
Staff were lovely - very friendly and helpful. Car parking is free if car is registered in hotel. And car park has 24hr surveillance. Room and bathroom were huge. But - this hotel desperately needs some TLC. Flooring (including the VERY loud floorboards making it sound like there's a herd of elephants having a dance-off on the next floor up!); the windows which wouldnt close; the mildew on the wall near the fire exit - I could go on. I was glad I was only there for one night as I didn't like the look of the shower. Also the nightclub opposite was EXTREMELY loud (not helped by permanently open window) and went on till about 2am. Not usual for a Monday but obviously if you were to stay at the weekend this would have to be your expectation.

Central location is convenient for the railway station. VERY noisy with loud music from next door, WiFi was not available although advertised as having it. This was very inconvenient for me as I had planned to do some on line lessons while away.

Reasonably priced hotel in the middle of the city. Rooms were large and clean but decor was a bit tired. Because of the location, the room was very noisy!

Intel is too hot
Hotel does need to brought up-to-date, the room was literally like a trying to sleep in a furnace. The little fan just moved very hot air around the room. The decor looks quite grubby but the bathroom had been cleaned with a stinky mop and although clean looking it smelled. That being said the bed was actually quite comfortable albeit due to the heat I couldn’t sleep.
