My partner booked a room at the last moment. Receptionist was extremely friendly and helped us through out the room because way to room was bit confusing for new person but after wards is fine. Room was average not too bad in 2 star B&B. Its a Victorian style houses so there is no point for small room. Breakfast served... More

I booked two members of my team here for one night. Poor rooms, low standards of cleanliness and unhelpful staff. One of us (female) returned from dinner to find the room (and bed!) occupied by a male stranger, despite the fact that personal possessions had been unpacked and were clearly visible. This is hardly conducive to a good night's sleep.... More

Me and my bf stayed there as we were tempted by the nice pictures from web and the close location to the City center. When we arrived it was a definite disappointment for us. First of all the hotel has 22 rooms in total and only 6 parking spaces at the back yard. On the website says no need to... More

As mentioned by others the hotel (guest house really) bears no resemblance to the photos and website. The photos were definitely not of the dirty, tired and spartan room that I stayed in. The whole setup smacks of amateur hour, from the sign on the door stating they have flavoured crisps, to the tea towels you are supposed to dry... More

Give this place a wide berth and stay somewhere else. The rooms are dirty, the bathrooms are unclean and the beds are awful. The photos bear no relation to the reality. the price should be about £25.00 then you would know it was a doss house in advance.

I have to say that the location is really good; very close to the train station and the city centre. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. However: (a) the rooms (or at least some of the rooms) are much less fancy than those appearing in the photos. I guess some of the rooms are refurbished and photographed, so... More

Small room, dirty glass from previous occupant. No soap, bathroom shelf falling off. For the price (£75) for a double this was a disaster. Don't go at any price. Staff pleasant but ineffective (requested pillows - non forthcoming). Breakfast was OK

Dirty toilets, broken windows that wouldn't close, filthy floors (toilet worst), shower room too small to get into. Only acceptable standard was the bed linen. Next day management were just not interested in my complaints, said they couldn't reduce the room rate as booked through a price comparison website. Cancelled remaining stay, left without breakfast, and will never return. Best... More
