Pretty unpleasant stay
Pros:

Good location nearby the shopping centre and restaurants.

Cons:

Generally unclean in the hotel and especially the room, lots of dust, stains on the sheets and various places as well as mould and a lot of condensation water on the windowsills. Some other inconveniences included bathroom door being unable to shut due to the flooring, missing handle on the wardrobe and the air con/heating unit not working meaning the room was very cold. The corridors also smelt of smoke and although you could exit via the stairs you couldn’t enter this way and had to use the lift. I found the photos that were advertised of the hotel to be a bit misleading.

We would not stay here again because of the smoke and poor bedding.
Pros:

The location was great and the staff were friendly.

Cons:

There was sick in the doorway of the hotel when we arrived at 5pm. The room itself stank of smoke and this was quite overwhelming and made us feel ill. All our clothes smelt of smoke when we left the next day, The hotel wasnt secure as the front door of the hotel was open when we got back , despite being told it would be closed at 10pm. The bed linen and the pilllows were unkept, lumpy and badly fitting and this made it feel unclean. The photos make it look much nicer than it is.

Grim and cold
Pros:

Not much- location seemed ok

Cons:

It was filthy and the room was freezing. The heating by air on turned off every 10mins so the room never got warm. The reception staff gave me an extra blanket and said they’d already lent their heaters out to other guests (obviously I’m not the only person who was cold).
Really not sure how this has the gall to give its self any stars. Owner’s clearly just being tight on upkeep, cleaning and heating. Really grim to be honest
