I understand this is a "budget" hotel but...Certainly not as advertised online. It is very very "drab". The television didn't work, no signal at all, constant dripping tap Grubby grey towels, no toilet brush, no hand soap, no coffee in the tea caddy, nobody around when you need them. They advertise politely that you respect there are children living there and to be quiet between certain hours. The said children were actually the ones to keep us awake and woke us early in the morning by running up and down, shouting and banging up above us. Luckily, we just needed somewhere to rest our heads...it certainly was not restful but we were knackered. Will definitely not be returning

Overpriced
Holey towels that were like sandpaper. Ceiling sagging in bathroom. Bed too small. Outdated. Had to put kettle on floor to boil. Slow to let us in, standing outside in pouring rain waiting on a reply to doorbell. Temperature in room was good though. Glad it was only 1 night. Not value for money

Hotel in need of redecoration throughout. Paper coming off the walls, hot/Cole taps plumbed in back to front, no BBC channels on the TV, lights not working in the room, thin curtains not hung correctly so let the light in, bags of cement in reception and.only 1 sachet of coffee in the room.
