Very misleading reviews

After reading the reviews I had prepared myself for the worst. I even took a sleeping bag and my own towel. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The guy at reception was polite and friendly. Yes the hotel is a bit dated but for the price you can’t expect the Ritz. The room was small but clean and tidy. The sink shower and toilet were clean as was all the bedding. The bed was comfortable and there was a TV, kettle with plenty of tea, coffee and milk. There was even a small fridge. Maybe I was just lucky but I can’t really fault the place and for the price it was a bargain. I would definitely book again.

Not bad for the given price but could be better

We stayed for two nights and the experience was not that great. The floor was dusty and the towels seem clean but had fibres sticking to the body and face when used. The bathroom lock was not working. The grills in the bathroom are rusty and were not clean.

There no meals access, bed comfort is amazing and comforting, the internet acess is terrible, the parking acess is also very difficult to parking but part of the this the staff members are nice and chilled. I do request to advance the signal endurance, and change the building to try to have their own parking system. Thank you for your attention and service.

Communal area: paintwork chipped and tatty; stair carpet was filthy. Room: broken and damaged furniture; 3 lightbulbs not working; TV remote control held together with tape, and some of the buttons didn't work (we were unable to adjust the volume, for example); stained upholstery on chairs; curtains were falling to pieces, and tricky to draw.
