I have to say the hotel is very dirty. Black mould in the bathrooms. Water stains on the ceilings. Curtains torn and falling off the windows. Toilet seat broken. Shower and taps a very dirty. Walls have marks all over the place. Wall paper is coming off. None of the photos on the website is accurate at all.

Room was nice and big but the bathroom was malfunctioning - warm water wasn't available all the time and some construction glitches in the shower cubicle. The hotel staff were very helpful though - changed a room without additional charges.

The hotel was average but the staff were very helpful and nice. It was clean and accommodated our dog which was a cockapoo. It is conveniently located and I would return.

I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately, I had a rather disappointing experience. Here are some of the issues I encountered: 1. Insufficient number of towels: The number of towels provided in the room was not adequate. 2. Shampoo bottles not replenished: The shampoo bottles were not refilled, which was quite inconvenient. 3. Shower room quality: The shower water did not get hot enough, making it uncomfortable to shower. 4. Room cleanliness: The cups provided in the room were clearly not cleaned properly. 5. Breakfast quality: While the full breakfast was decent, the overall service and other aspects were quite disappointing. other customers looked unhappy eigher. 6. Television issues: The television remote control was missing, and I couldn’t turn on the TV manually, so we were unable to watch television. 7. Lack of room phone: Since there was no phone in the room, we had to go to the front desk whenever we needed anything, which led us to give up on several requests. 8. Review discrepancy: The reviews posted here indicated a rating above 8.0, but after staying, I doubt the accuracy of those reviews given my experience. My family and I were all dissatisfied with our stay, however, the location is very good, and the parking fees are reasonable.

This is more a YMCA than a Hotel, full of Students. Half eaten Pizza in stairwell. Empty bottles left on landings. Receipts tucked into Fire hydrants. Under the bed was full of rubbish. Hotel has a lift, which you go down a flight of stairs too, also only two rooms per floor accessible from lift on each floor, you had to climb a steep flight of steps to get to all other rooms. They had chair lifts, which were not working. Bathroom looked like it had recently been decorated to the ceiling, but paint all over the floor. Window sills needed painting. Windows dirty. Brick dust under TV. You can park in road if you pay for a £2.20 permit per day. Parking is otherwise restricted to 4 hours, no return within 4 hours. We stayed 2 nights, first night kids running up and down stairs, noisy until after midnight, then an argument broke out at 12:30 and continued until just after 2:30. We complained. Was told it was a family!!!! Next night the same so both myself and another lady told them to keep quiet ( it was the students). Hotel needs lots of TLC, very run down Only good thing we can say, is the breakfast was good staff were friendly. Would I stay there again NO! Expedia should withdraw from advertising this place in our opinion.

This hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. Parking nearby was an issue on a Saturday evening probably because of visitors to the nearby theatre. The hotel is dog friendly which is why we chose it. The decor was ok but dated and the breakfast was basic. No complaints though and the place was very reasonably priced.

Well situated hotel that has undergone a lot of work recently. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely breakfast cooked fresh to order. There are lifts but there are also mezzanine floors which result in some short flights of stairs. Comfortable bed.
