Won’t book again
Cons:

The room was very dirty, the mattress sank so much you can feel the bed board and the throw had all sorts of stains on it including what looked like blood

Good value, clean, functional hotel
Pros:

We needed a convenient location with car parking and late / early entry / exit. This was good. Room size was large; facilities were basic but room was clean and did what we needed (provide bed / bathroom for 2 nights whilst prepping a flat). The bar area was clean and tidy; and bar prices were cheap compared to a branded hotel. The hotel looks like it is used by teams of tradesmen (plumbers, electricians, builders) from the number of vans in the car park and the dress of the people in the bar area.

Cons:

The shower water was lukewarm and the water volume and shower / bath mixer controls were plumbed in the wrong way round.

Leider hatten wir keine Alternative!
Cons:

Das Hotel ist maximal einen Stern und nicht drei wert. Es war brütend warm im Zimmer. Es gibt keine Klimaanlage. Nur ein Ventilator konnte wenigstens zum Luft bewegen genutzt werden.
Im Badezimmer war es so heiß, dass man beim Reingehen Schweißausbrüche bekam. Es gab kein kaltes Wasser - nur lauwarm bis heiß. Das Badezimmer lag direkt am Aufzugschacht. Das Zimmer war schlecht isoliert, somit hat man von den Nachbarn alles gehört. Die Lage ist ziemlich außerhalb. Man hat einen längeren Fußweg in die Innenstadt.
Alles in allem die schlechteste Unterkunft, in der ich jemals gewesen bin.

Excellent choice for crashing for the night
Pros:

It is in a peaceful neighborhood and simple accommodation

Cons:

Lack of air conditioning and good food options. You have to walk at least 1.5 km to get good food in the town center

Shit hole!!!
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Biggest shit hole I have ever stayed in. The room smelled of weed, the curtains didn’t fit the windows so couldn’t close them, the chair was broken the bath panel was hanging off and was contemplating sleeping in my car. Was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and can honestly say will never stay there again. Shocking how they even have the cheek to charge £85 for a room in that state. If environmental went in there they would close them down.

A quiet gem with lovely staff
Pros:

Several stays over the past few months. Always the same experience: super friendly and professional staff, clean rooms, a peaceful, unpretentious atmosphere and an old-fashioned charm.
