Staff were fab, food good and very well priced. Room clean and comfy but oh boy the walls were so thin! We could hear the the sound of just about everything next door… including the quietest intake of breath!!

Although the room was clean and well presented there are some areas that would benefit attention. The wood around the shower base and bathroom window was suffering with severe water damage and could do with being replaced. There was no ability to hang towels up anywhere the only possible place was the back of the bathroom door but the hook was missing. The room would benefit from a small draw unit there was only space to hang clothes. Unfortunately the iron lead was damaged and the Hairdryer and Fan had not been electrically tested. All that said the room served the purpose and I would book again for a short stay

Check out the toilet picture.. absolute joke.

Not very clean, wee stain on toilet and bathroom needs a do over, most definitely the toilet as the seat was too small fo- see picture. Beds were company but creaky and likely old. Funny smell in hallways and like a maze to get to the room. Old style keys needs updating to electronic locks. Definitely didn’t seem worth anywhere near the £100+ per night we paid.

As expected

Hotel for price point was as good as I expected. The only thing I'd say is the towels I had although clean had some stains on them. I didn't see it as a massive issue but others might.

No hot water for two consecutive days. They have had a problem with their boilers since January and still have to refill every twenty to thirty minutes just to maintain any hot water. The restaurant is awful. The food is just gross.
