Pros:

Nothing except bathroom was quite nice

Cons:

Everything! Door to hotel next to nightclub, noise continued till 2in the morning. No reception we had to ring to find out we had to go to the bar in the club, stairs very steep & carpet very dirty. No instructions in case of fire. Room faced onto road couldn't close the window. Didn't stay for breakfast, we left early, no one around, left key in box.
Total nightmare

Cons:

Please see photos- the room was mouldy, damp, and unclean.
It should be clearly advertised on booking.com that the hotel is also a pub/club with karaoke until 1 in the morning, impossible to get any sleep before it’s finished.

Very tired room. Would not stay again.
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming on arrival.
It was easy to find with lots of car parks close by to choose from
The shower was hot and powerful

Cons:

The bedsprings dug into my back all night, the carpet was very stained and dirty, light fittings were hanging off the wall with loose wires.
Some of the LED downlights were hanging from the ceiling.
The floor boards in the next room were very loose and creaky, and the door springs were very strong which meant doors were banging in neighbouring rooms all night.

Nice clean hotel, Good location, Matress need replacing
Pros:

Close to train station, smooth check in, price is reasonable
bathroom is clean with good shower pressure

Cons:

Mattress need replacing urgently, had very little sleep cause the sprung were hurting my back all night, very unconfortable.
Other issue was the noise, windows was not insulated and you can hear people shouting and fighting until 3am in the morning.

Very good value for money, and excellent location, even though this might be too noisy for some.
Pros:

Very good value for money for our purposes. Yes there is noise quite late from the bar below at weekends, which I expect would bother guests who want to sleep earlier than that, but we are late sleepers, so it didn't bother us. Room was small but adequate. Bed was very comfortable and shower was very good. Standard breakfast may be small for some people but was adequate for us. Its was only £3 per person to upgrade this to a larger breakfast

Cons:

Early morning traffic noise. However this was what we expected on a main road in the centre of town. Lack of car park was a minor problem, bur there is a reasonably priced, and very convenient Council car park very close by (Bath Place) with overnight parking.

Comfortable in spite of the dire lack of maintenance -- but ok for the price
Pros:

The location was excellent, especially handy for public transport and close to the evening venue booked by my friends. My room was spacious and I particularly liked the fact that I could open the window wide -- a rare feature of hotels these days. The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible, and the dining room very basic and uncomfortable! Very limited choice, especially of non-cooked things. A few little boxes of cereals, no fresh fruit, no marmalade for the toast. In the en suite bathroom the toilet seat fittings were broken so that the seat fell off; the tap in the basin was loose in its socket so that when you turned the tap on, the whole fixture came away. There was an exposed electric wire running from the heated towel rail alongside the basin, which looked like a serious health hazard. Everything about the hotel suggested no one had done any maintenance for ages!
