Rest stop on the way to Belfast

Receptionist was a bit cold and unfriendly by asking if I was from Tyneside when I am in fact from the borders of Scotland! Lots of rough white van man types in shorts staying at the hotel who weee loud and noisy til 2 am . Room was nice and cheap for the price paid but dated 10 minutes walk to a nearby Asda as a cold drink from the hotel bar costs £3-50 and is in a bottle as they don’t do draft drinks from a pump. Like a can of cheap beans you get what you pay for and this hotel does its job

Great Staff are the best assets at this Hotel!

Best value accommodation, even cheaper than a Youth Hostel. Decent sized room, with a desk and everything required for a good nights sleep. All staff, at reception and housekeeping, did their best to make us comfortable and at home. Would love to return one day!

I wouldn’t advise staying at this hotel if you have a young family. My children felt scared and they have internal doors in the rooms which link to the other rooms and even though they are locked, ours started rattling and the children started screaming. The duvet sheets were clean but the duvet itself was stained badly. We didn’t use any of the wash room as so outdated and didn’t look clean enough to wash in. Most definitely wouldn’t stay again. I would have gone elsewhere but it was a last minute stop off point from the highlands and it was very cheap.

Pleasant Stay

Perfect for a short stay. Not the most visually attractive building but served our needs. Probably one of the best breakfasts ive ever had and well worth the £8 Staff were very nice and extremely helpful. Our room had a smell when we arrived. We were told that after heavy rain the deains backed up. It was away by morning and there was no water ingress. We would return.

Great value, comfortable stay

This hotel was perfectly placed, and very comfortable for a family stay. Staff were fantastic, in particular Shanice who checked us in and answered all our questions about our short visit to the city, and was very friendly. Very comfortable sleep and a good breakfast the following day. We would definitely stay again, very well priced and overall a very positive stay.
