Misguiding pictures and rude staff
Pros:

The picture is shown on the website is not exactly what you get. The pictures of misguiding. The rooms are smelly. The carpets are dirty. Everything is broken. The mattress is of poor quality.
You’ll find dirt everywhere and the smell is so bad it gets claustrophobic. Please don’t be miscarried by the pictures.

Poor Management
Pros:

Bedroom was really filthy and smelly, bathroom and toilet was disgusting couldn't use it, Management were rude also most importantly you have to pay £50 deposit without even mentioning anywhere including in the booking. When challenged, the owner did not want to understand or listen, its like he done me a favour by giving the key in advance and asks me to go and get fifty pound in cash, when in the website they mentioned they don't accept cash in the hotel poor management.

Pros:

The drainer water in shower box was clogged, so the water is coming out all to the bathroom floor, flooding around it. The room has no even a clothes handler for. I could say more but I’ll stop here.

Misleading Listing – Not Suitable for Couples
Pros:

We were very disappointed to discover on check-in that the bathroom was shared — something that was not clearly stated in the listing. I was travelling with my wife, and sharing a bathroom with strangers was not acceptable to us. As a result, we had no choice but to leave immediately.

We requested a refund due to the misleading information, but this was refused.

If you're a couple looking for privacy and comfort, do yourself a favour and avoid this place — it is not suitable for couples, and the listing does not reflect the reality.
