Avoid this place

Nothing

The fact it's filthy just because the advert says not five star doesn't mean it can be dirty and unkept,the room I was in the window was barely attached to the building winter breeze coming in between the frame and the wall,

1.0 / 10.0

Disgusting.

Booked for operatives working away. The only good thing was that they only stayed 20 minutes as it was so bad. It was dirty and smelled of urine. 1 week later we have been offered a 20% refund. Disgraceful

Hadn't been cleaned, toilet had been used and not flushed, mould in shower and on walls, Carpets threadbare and dirty, strong smell of urine permeated the whole place. The picture on Booking.com bears no resemblance to the property

Cheap for a reason

Cheap

Very basic above a noisy pub. Slamming doors. Nothing was clean except the bedding. The duvet was stained where it was hanging out. Shower was dirty. Was there blood stains on the carpet, i didn't look too closely to find out, hopefully it was coffee.

Don't expect the Ritz, but it's somewhere to sleep at a good price

Excellent location, lady on reception was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable, decent size room

Very noisy from pub below until 1am, but it's made quite clear that's the case. Place really needs a refurb but it's a cheap as chips night in a city location No parking , advertised as free parking available..no longer the case

4.0 / 10.0

Unpleasant stay

I was looking for a cheaper place just to spend one night, but I regretted my decision as soon as I stepped in. The corridor, room, and bathroom all smelled unpleasant. The bathroom was extremely dirty, or at least had stains that made it look very unclean. I understand that we can’t expect many luxuries when choosing a budget option, but there should still be a minimum standard of cleanliness and hygiene.

Showers excellent, near to cafe, shops. Staff helpful.

the only complaint I have is the pillows on the bed could be doing with getting replaced there was nothing to them I would say they were over 10 years old very flat

1.0 / 10.0

Rubber, they stole your money with rooms like mine, which by the way was no. 28. Stay aware of that.

Nothing, the room was filthy, the bed-sheets were dirty, I had to stay on my towel. No wi-fi, very noisy and very unsafe, U couldn’t lock the door from inside.

The worst place I ever stayed in.

It’s very cheap. For a reason. Wouldn’t even reccomend this place to someone I did not like

Filthy, stinks, stains on carpet, bed terrible, noises, staff not helpful. I got bitten by bed bugs which then became infected, requested refund which never came. Don’t know what else to say. Health hazard.

I will await response until end of September 2025 before escalating further.

Breakfast not available to me as I was told the hotel could not offer a slightly earlier time (15 minutes before normal opening) to enable sufficient time to reach train station for pre-booked onward travel. (This response belongs in "Did not like") My reservation price was inclusive of breakfast. Also, and more importantly I did not like inflexible and unhelpful attitude of duty manager at checkin concerning a minor technical problem with card used for payment on arrival. Could have exercised discretion but chose to keep me waiting at reception nearly 90 minutes while attempting contact with senior colleague. It was late evening, I was extremely tired and am classified elderly and frail. Duty manager did not even offer me cup of tea while waiting. Eventually I had to ask waiter who in contrast was very pleasant and helpful. He was obviously quite embarrassed by attitude of duty manager. He was apparently only other member of staff on duty and hotel very quiet during all this time .

What I DID LIKE was cleanliness and comfort of the hotel, and on this occasion the helpful attitude of the waiter. I have stayed here many times in the past. I await a response to these matters. Please confirm referral to avoid escalation.

Brilliant localisation, Friendly staff, Room nice and clean

Localisation of the roadhouse is a massive factor

All was good again

Only if you're desperate

Staff friendly

There was no soap in the shower or to wash hands, the toilet barely flushed, the walls had suspicious stains on it. There was no light shade, the gutters leaked creating lots of noise. The room I initially stayed in had no functioning TV and horrific noise from the pub downstairs.

7.0 / 10.0

Great location and price reflects the room

Price and location was good beds were comfy plenty of tea and coffee hanger and drawers for clothes and a mirror in the room . Shared bathroom was fine

Was a little dirty and no tv in room as suggested but didn’t really bother me curtains would have been better than a blind but it was cheap and a place to rest my head

Appalling

There was no breakfast or any meal of any kind so I was told Toilet seat hanging off stains on the carpets no mattress covers needed a complete overhaul the music in the bar was far to loud takes me back to the eighties B B for cheap as chips accommodation for workers

Toilet seat hanging off no food music to loud in the bar waited for somebody to come and serve me but the music drove me out found a nice pub round the corner with decent food and background music

Was ok for a one night but wouldn’t reccomend.

Beds were comfy that was the only good thing. Noise was ridiculous went on until about 2am and was so loud! People screaming. Checked in given a key and that was it didn’t explain if they done food or bar or anything.

Noise. No real conversation from person checking us in.

5.0 / 10.0

Adequate, and in a good location.

The location is convenient, a walkable distance from the railway station without too many bags, the lady by the reception was lovely, helped me settle in... For the money I paid, I wasn't expecting anything 5 star, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the bed really comfy and clean, I was expecting it to be a bit noisy since there's a pub downstairs but it was suprisingly quiet (maybe cause I sleep like a log) but yea. It's relatively clean, nothing 5star tho. If it wasn't for the shower issue, I'd say it's decent for the price.

I was disappointed in the morning, shower in my room was not working at all. It looked like no one had used it in ages. There was no one by the reception to ask for help either. If it wasn't for the shower issue, I'd say it's decent for the price. The level of cleanliness could be better.

Cheap but not very cheerful

The location is okay. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable enough. It's not expensive. You can make tea and coffee in the room.

It felt grotty. The room smelled of smoke and I found it an unpleasant place to stay.

Very basic but good value for money.

The room was very comfortable and had all the basics.

The bar was a little noisy and could hear people opening and closing in doors in the morning.

Warm comfortable bed, TV, and tea and coffee. The member of staff changed my room after I asked for a room away from the road. Very helpful.

Needs a little updating.

Pathetic, horrible and stay with centipedes

Nothing at all, only the location was good.

Everything here was horrible. I would like to share with people never ever book this property. My stay in this property was horrible, pathetic and was not safe. The room was very dirty, they didn't even wash the pillow for ages. There was no blanket provided and CENTIPEDES are roaming in the room and toilet freely. If you go to complain the reception then there will be no one. There is no phone from the room connected to the reception. I booked for 3 days but first day itself I booked another property and moved out.

Budget hotel in great situation.

The hotel is very basic but the room was tidy and comfortable. It's in a great situation, only 5 minutes from the train station and city centre. There's a retail park right next door and a great Indian takeaway across the road. Nice bar but very quiet.

The hotel has just come under new ownership so things may improve. The outside just needs a few minutes attention: litter picking and weeding would vastly improve first impression. A toilet brush would have useful! The room came with a TV which I didn't expect but it didn't work!

Can be compared to a roadside motel

It's a perfectly ok accommodation for one night but nothing special

1.0 / 10.0

damp, unclean and the staff were not at all helpful

The two rooms that were booked, for our staff working away from home, both had dampness at the windows and in bathrooms. When the reception staff were approached to register a complaint they were less than helpful and did not care or offer alternate rooms, their attitude was verging on rude. As a company we book a lot of properties through booking.com and most are of a high standard, the staff at the properties are usually courteous and helpful. As our staff stay away from home frequently for work purposes it is important that they have a clean and comfortable place to stay. On this occasion neither comfort or cleanliness was the case, thankfully it was only for one night. I do not recommend.
