Massive error: I booked there quickly without checking the reviews first, and found myself in the must disgusting place ever... The young lad that gave me the keys was ok, but the room smell the cigarettes which gave me headaches and the mould on the shower + dirty carpet + the window that's could not close + doggy smell in the entrance..... I mean it's just a zero star hotel, let's be honest! I just could not cope so I run away the next day and only did 1 night over the 5 nights I've paid in total. So I lost my money, but not my sanity that I would have lost if I had stay there!!!

Bit disappointed to be honest

The room bore no resemblance to the pictures on the booking site. It was clean but in a poor state of repair. One of the photos is of a pool table, which does not exist at the hotel. Other rooms in the hotel looked better to be fair. I experienced a friendly welcome on arrival.

Really bad. Won’t be staying here again

Staff were friendly but beds hard as anything, couldn’t have food or drink in the place and there’s no bar when they said we have to purchase stuff in the bar. Hardly any plug sockets. Shower broken. We had no towels. Noise in the morning and forced to check out at 11am leaving us with nowhere to go for the day.

Very disappointed

Absolutely shocking place to stay definitely not is advertised on any of the pictures. Drawers broken, tobacco in the top draw, stains on the floor and no milk for refreshments in the morning. Think money spent on soap and shower gel more than on the room. Small, dinghy and no room. I know it was advertised as a budget room but I'm sure the homeless on the streets had better accomodation. Ended up moving after 1 night and paying for another room in a other hotel.

I had a really horrible experience with this place there was no TV working and when I asked they said they will bring a another TV in few minutes which were never came and toilet and bathroom too small you can't sit properly, shower not working you have to hold the switch to on the shower otherwise it's goes off just imagine how you gonna keep the switch on if you want to have bath lol, all in all poor place to stay better to spend few more pounds and get hotel like holiday Inn or other. Sorry but I have to share this reality to save other people money and their enjoying holiday time......
