Excellent location, superb value for money and highly recommended.
Pros:

The hotel was in a good location, the rooms were clean, staff were really helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
We were a bit late for breakfast one morning but the staff were really accommodating and couldn't have been more helpful.

Cons:

Some of the reviews made us a bit sceptical, however we would definitely recommend.

Give this place a miss
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Unkempt, mould in bathroom, windows seal,
Stains on curtains looked like good stains, stains in the seat, the room hadn't been cleaned or dusted, when I looked at the bed sheets it looked like they just covered them up with the quilt, the bed sheets smelt of damp. Matress was very soft and needs replacing, also I booked breakfast and didn't have it as the place was dirty. Just took a banana. Bulb needed replacing in the bathroom. Toilet seat was fitted to the side.
