Cons:

My room overlooked Bath Street and a number of inebriated men were shouting and singing in the street until the early hours of Sunday morning, so I didn't sleep well.

Pros:

Staff friendly. Reasonable breakfast. Clean linen and towels.

Cons:

Uncomfortable beds. Heavily stained carpet. No teaspoon or tv remote. Shower broken, shower door unsafe. Noisy - from being on main road and dividing door not soundproof so every sound made by neighbour was heard. Loose toilet seat and sink mixer tap.

One of our worst stays ever, which is saying something given the number places we've stayed.
Cons:

The unexpected Karaoke until midnight ... we were in room 11, which appears to be right above the Karaoke space. We think they should check the noise level in this room when they have Karaoke on as the noise was ridiculously high and this was followed by people coming in very late and making even more noise.

Also, we were advised only on check in that the 'included' full English breakfast had changed to continental as they had no chef, so we didn't bother and decided to leave early.

When we booked, there was no mention that there was Karaoke on. If this had been stated, we would not have booked.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This is advertised as coming with a cooked breakfast, there are posters around the hotel saying this too see my attached photo, but then there is one small poster on the back of the bar door to say the kitchen is closed so continental only... This doesn't help you when you have already arrived / checked in. Breakfast was tea / coffees / juice with bread, bananas, satsumas, yogurts and some cheese that had been left out of the fridge so it was warm. When I asked why we weren't notified about the change in breakfast a lady rudely just kept replying saying "kitchen closed, see poster"

The beds were comfortable but the rooms were not clean. The bathroom was so small it was a struggle to dry or change in there. As a family of 4 with only twin rooms available we booked 2 x twins to find that they were 2 floors away with very steep stairs.

Loud music from the bar below until 1am, anyone from the bar could walk into the hotel area. Then after 1am the street was really noisy, so we didn't get much sleep. I'd much rather stay at the Travelodge next time.

Pros:

The hotel is in a convenient location for shops. There are plenty of eating out places to choose from.

Cons:

The hotel is right outside a busy traffic area. There's ɓ lot of noise coming from the downstairs bar, which stays open until the early hours.
