Wouldn’t stay again

The reception staff are really friendly, which is one of the only redeeming features. This is a budget hotel and I only paid around £50 to stay, I wouldn’t pay more. The swimming pool was closed for maintenance and the restaurant was closed for a private group. It’s in the middle of a uni campus, the only thing nearby is a co-op. The bed sheets had hair on them and I assume hadn’t been changed since the previous guest. After letting reception know they moved me to another room immediately which I appreciated. In the second room the towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work. Budget hotel which I understand but I do expect cleanliness, wouldn’t stay again
