The room was lovely & very big. Nice sofa bed infront of the tv on the wall. We were only there 1 night, so we didnt use the sofa or the tv. The bed was huge, & sooo comfy. Only issue we had was the shower. It was either hot or scolding. And we couldn't get hold of anyone on the phone to assist us. There should be a direct number to reception for emergencies or problems, as I had to go down to reception in my pj's & then wait for someone to come from the restaurant to see me. However, the lady was very helpful. She came & tested the shower & agreed it was far too hot. She gave us access to an empty room, luckily it was only next door, so we could use that shower. I must say that the shower was one of the smallest I've ever seen. Anyone larger would not have got in there. I could'nt reach down to my feet lol. But at least I was clean & could wash my hair.

Somewhere cheap to lay your head for the night. Ok but certainly not sparking clean or somewhere to stay for more than a night. Bed was quite comfy and the noise wasn’t too bad considering bar below.

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.
