Good value for money. The main opportunity for improvement is their service. When we arrived, no one was available to give us our key. There was a phone number to call on the front door. We called for about half an hour repeatedly with no answer and were considering going to another accommodation. We thought we had been scammed. We were tired, cold and unhappy. Finally we met another guest who said the same thing happened to them. We finally got through to someone who gave us the code to our room.

There was no heat in the bathroom. Portable heater in bedroom area barely gave warmth to sleep comfortably. Ceiling needs repair from upstairs water leak. Worst issue was the noise - slamming doors, stomping up & down the stairs & knocking noisily on our room door after midnight. Other guests we believe were students. We should have been made aware of that before reserving. Noisy until 2:45 am.

Check in was not smooth. It was "self-check-in". We had to ring numbers but nk answer at first. Then when we finally got someone it was an extremely slow process. Really lacked the personal touch. The room was nice, comfy. Quite noisy with passing traffic. The bathroom was not good at all. Shower - a trickle of water, but thankfully have family/ friends nearby to use theirs. Mirror - filthy with blood(??) Or paint on. Service, not great. So impersonal. Will not be staying again. Fine for 1 night. Needs a huge amount of decor change and would be nice if check-in was with a person... in-person.

The exterior doors to the room did not lock and the springs were coming through the mattresses. Very uncomfortable. Intermittent issues with hot water and water pressure when using the shower. Spacious room though even if tv was small and tilted and cable was fuzzy. We spent most of our time out of the room.

Terrible
Thought we were staying in a halfway house Dont stay in the ground floor room ny the front door as the door will be getting slammed all night and you'll have people smoking and chatting outside your window to all hours. There was an elephant stomping around above, shouting with the tv blasting out. We left in the end.

Booking in was fine. Room clean but glass found on top of wardrobe. Bins not emptied daily. No extra toilet rolls. Other guests left front door not shut properly sometimes with the snib on so would not lock. Door bell needs to be prominent hard to see.

Can't be bothered
Room fine. Service appalling. You need to call a number to get a code for the front door and another code for the room. You'd think that would be easy but evidently not. 10 minutes during which time they presumably didn't know they had to talk into the phone or I wouldn't hear what they were saying. [The property is next to a busy main road]. And then it turned out they were giving me the wrong code which is why it wasn't working.
