Shabby, dated, not clean, cluttered lobby, common areas and rooms; corridors and our room were overheated like a nursing home. Could not turn heat down in our room. No daily housekeeping services. Terse front desk staff. Tiny double bed in a room overlooking dumpsters both coils of electrical wiring (live, in service) sitting in a puddle of rain runoff on a flat area or roof between two wings of the hotel. Floors squeaked loudly with every step, both water taps in the bathroom dispensed hot water. Decaf instant coffee only for the in-room coffee maker. Would not return for any reason.

Overall good value, hotel was clean, car park very handy and hotel is in a great location. Room had been recently renovatedand had everything we needed. Only downside was the window opened out into a courtyard with no natural light coming in, and had a big fan or vent outside making a lot of noise all night. As it was so hot, needed the window open, so didnt sleep very well. Might not be an issue if you are a deep sleeper.

Royal Clifton stay

Was fairly nice. I emailed and had no response and the lock was broken on the door so we did get stuck in our room! Hotel parking is advertised at £5 but it is actually £10 for 24 hours. However, it was clean, comfortable and staff were friendly!
