The property is just 3 mins walk from the main Train station which is extremely convenient. There is only one cafe and a big tesco with rest of the non edible shops around. The room we had was dusty although toilet was clean, it was tiny. Durable for one or two nights. The wooden cupboard doors magnetic hinge was broken and just too many pieces of wooden furniture in there that could provide a modern look rather than dull and really dusty look and feel as the glass was not wiped clean. The window was locked so we could not open the window for air and including our friends room which they were suffocating in there boiling hot. The worst is that its really noisy till 12.30 am and then you have street people shouting and screaming almost till 4-5 am if unlucky. If you have the room below, the people above walking and talking can be heard and creaky which if you are a light sleeper, forget about getting any sleep. This is good for you to party and sleep drunk to not hear any noise. Food in the pub was average but the desserts were great. Service is really friendly and good. Location is a bonus

Very nice clean room, mine was a single and perfectly enough room for me. The pub and food were good, 10 min walk into the City is great. Would have been nice if the coffee/milk had been serviced for the 2nd night. Would I stay there again? …. definitely yes, if the price is right.

Very clean and lovely room, but the window couldn’t stay open. When is over 20 degrees outside (during the day we’re 30 degrees) and the room small it gets very hot and stuffy inside. I could open the window but it didn’t stay open. Also, there were lots of decaf coffee sachets but not even one normal coffee. One pod only for the minging coffee machine. The only cup in the room was still dirty from the previous occupant.

Never stay here
The ship was very disappointing. The bathroom almost flooded when using the shower because of clogged up hair in the drain that had not been cleaned. The bedsheets were stained. A fire alarm then went off at 4am and no staff on site to support us. We were due to leave for London at 6am so no point trying to get back to sleep. When we asked for a refund, hotels.com told us the ship had refused to pay it. Steer clear of this property. The worst service I’ve had.

One Night Stay.
Perfectly adequate for a one night stay. But, unless one knows the area, getting to it via Sat Nav is challenging, and the local parking is a nightmare!:.

Very noisy road, double glazing needed
Nice lively place the staff in the bar are outstanding. The big issue is the outside noise. Bin men waking you up at 05:45 is not my idea of fun. Very noisy area
