Recently stayed here for 2 nights for a course, the Reception and public areas are nice and relaxing, however thats were it stops. The bedroom was drab, lots of chipped paint one seat that you could not sit at a desk and work in any normal posture. The bathroom was so small for a double room, hairs in the bath,... more

It looks good from the outside and in the lobby. That is were it stops. The room I had was a small rabbit hole. The furnished were all battered as if saved from a skip. The bathroom was full of mould. It was the pits. It made Faulty Towers look great. I will never stay here again. more

On checking in we were informed that our twin room was unavailable and we had been moved to two doubles. These... more

We had booked this hotel with an internet booking site and got an excellent rate. When we arrived we were given our room. What a shock! Small, dark, dirty and freezing, it was horrendous. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls and where it wasn't it was scuffed and dirty. The 'furniture' was chipped and old. The bath - yellowed... more

The plus points first - The exterior facade and the location which is located within the city centre(this does have the disadvantage however of high NCP parking costs if you have brought a vehicle). The double room we were allocated was small and 'tired' and need of renovation - the curtains were falling apart, the convection heating stuffy and paintwork... more
