The staff was friendly, but that's about it. The state of the room was shocking. There was dust on everything, the room had a very bad odour and had to leave the window half open for the entire night just to be able to stomach the stench. I am pretty sure some other guests smoked there before even with no smoking sign on the door.

Check in was easy enough, guy behind the bar was very friendly and showed me to my room, that’s where I was shocked. Upon entering the room, I was hit with a strong smell of must and stale sweat. The room was very dated and did not represent the photos shown on the website! Carpet covered in stains and extremely dusty at the edges, wallpaper stained and peeling off, furniture marked and falling apart, window broken and unable to be kept open, incorrect information in guest book, stained and sticky menus / leaflets, bug crawled out from guest book and onto desk! Bedding was clean but covered in hairs, pillows and mattress rock solid and uncomfortable. The bathroom was pungent with strong smell of weed! Marked walls and handles falling off, scum stained toilet and sink, non-existent shower pressure & certainly no amenities as described on website either. I understand it’s cheap, but I would rather pay the extra
