Tidy room but such thin walls and it was too noisy. We could hear everything from outside. I read the review afterwards and many people complained about the same thing from years ago so obviously nothings is done about it. I should have checked the review before booking.

Family room

Stayed in the family room with 3 adults plenty of room. Bathroom was lovely, had heating. Comfortable bed, room was clean. Was ground level beside the road bit noisy but not too bad. Easy to find, great location beside shops/restaurants. Easy to access if out late. Lovely staff. Close to public transport.

The room was fine, however I came in, there was a dirty plate near the kettle on arrival, the mattress was severely damaged, and uncomfortable, we struggled to sleep. I also put the sign on the door for the room to be cleaned. My husband and I were out all day morning to evening and we came back and it had not been touched.
