Very nice staff. Very basic room with single glazing onto a busy road and poorly sealed too, but the room was warm despite it being 0 degrees outside and it was clean. The bed was soft and unstructured - probably old. Breakfast was pretty so-so.

The hotel is run down but staff are very nice and it’s very clean. Would I stay there again- no I wouldn’t. The things to improve is the windows - my room had old rotten single glazed sash and the wind was rattling the whole window. These windows need changing into double glazing because also noise from nearby pubs was bad but the noise stopped at 9.30pm. Breakfast was good and freshly cooked when order was taken, hence a bit slow when loads of people chose the same time slot. Otherwise beds were comfortable, water in the shower hot, everything clean. Also big thank you to the lady in reception who helped me when I was waiting in the lobby and the scammer called me and she helped me. She said ‘your mobile provider wouldn’t ask you those question. It’s a scam. Just hang up’ she was right. So big than you to her today.

The reception staff and breakfast staff were excellent. Courteous and helpful and really friendly. Location of the hotel is good for walking down to the harbour and the city centre. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Hotel was quiet and we had a good night’s sleep.

Hotel had parking which was great for a city but chargeable . Had a great guy on evening reception who was very helpful and friendly and could not do enough . The hotel coming in from the car park shows its age and my room had black mould around the windows but they are old and would probably need regular black mould sorry this time of the year . The shower worked fine but looked pretty well used and generally it’s all in need of some renovation . Understand that’s on the cards . Other than the need for updating as wallpaper is peeling away above the bed very noticeably and mould it was ok.There is a lot of other places around to choose from . Anyway people were great , maintenance not so great !
