I think if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay and just need somewhere to sleep, it’s a great option. You can check in online and then get in when you get in, which worked very well for me. The room itself needs a little fixing up, the sink had a massive crack down the middle, the bed was broken and the whole floor seemed to slope sideways. But other than that it was a pretty nice hotel and a really affordable night. Ideal for solo travelers

We booked a twin and were given a small double. We are are work colleagues and this was not acceptable. They refused to help us and ignored us. The toilet had no toilet roll. And the windows were boarded up. The toilet window does not close. I would never stay here again

The room was dirty. I asked before arriving if towels were provided and was told yes however for 3 guests we was provided one towel. Asked for an extra towels and was told ok but never given them. The bed was not made properly and the bath had lots of hair in it when we arrived. A very bad smell all around the hotel. We’ve stayed here a fair few times and never had an issue

They charge a £5 non refundable deposit per person on arrival. I paid £30 for early check in, we had to wait almost two hours after check in time foecro to be ready. The room stank of drugs, the ceiling was so low we could not stand up, the banister was loose, the sheets stained and dirty and it was freezing cold! We had to leave as both my girls have autism and they were in a terrible state because of it ! We had to pay for a different hotel. Never again

Not impressed. Read the other comments but they say a picture tells a thousand words, so here's my photos. Also beware, it says you'll get a text with codes to access the hotel and your room. I got mine some 2.5 hours later so didn't get into my room until 6:30pm. I'd driven for 5 hours and trying to message the company was a waste of time.

Was a surprisingly pleasant stay at this hotel, i was worried after reading some of the reviews but it was actually a nice hotel, the bed was comfortable, the bedding was clean and smelled fresh, some areas of cleaning had been missed but it wasn't a problem for us. The decor was so interesting and was nice to stay in a hotel with a bit of personality.
