Cramped room in a dodgy part of town - not 4 star

Overall, the hotel is much closer to a 2 star hotel than 4. The pictures are extremely flattering and don't provide a real sense of how small the bedroom and dining area is. I could forgive a small space if it was used efficiently but the furniture, shower and even the doors are in desperate need of replacing. My advice would be to only use this hotel if you're a solo traveller staying for one night and the price is comparable to those 2-3 stars nearby. For reference, we paid c£95 per night and felt short changed.

A good location and friendly staff

Room is quite small, and it’s no space for parking, even just for unloading luggage.
