Gute Unterkunft, aber recht teuer.
Pros:

Die Lage war für uns perfekt, da unsere Freunde in der Nähe wohnten. Mit dem Bus oder auch zu Fuß (dauert aber lange 😉) kommt man gut ins Zentrum.
Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und das Bad sauber und völlig okay. Es gab Kaffee und Tee mit Wasserkocher auf dem Zimmer.

Basic and a fair price for a weekend break. Decor still in the 70s. Spacious decent solid furniture
Pros:

Lovely spacious Victorian rooms. The breakfast was not worth nearly 13 pounds. Very basic and sausage cheap frozen stuff. Cooked to order. Nicely presented and nice chef. Filter coffee but lovely coffee shop over the road does decent coffee and breakfast. Staff got shirty because I wanted to take sachets ti the room for my daughter as she doesn't like tea or coffe with caffeine. After a long explanation let me have them but he had to have the last say patronising. Manager very helpful to get warm water out of the shower. Staff let us keep our bags there for late flights good service as staff on hand all day till 11 at night.

Cons:

Cleanliness stairs needed a hoover pretty Dusty and dirty. Cheap electric shower hard to get a decent hot shower. Didn't make the beds for us on our second day. Fitted sheets hard to stay on mattress. I have arthritis and struggled to get them to stay on.

Angenehm rustikale Zimmer in einem charmanten Haus mit schlechtem Frühstück.
Pros:

Ruhige Lage mit guter Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel in Richtung Stadt

Cons:

Die Auswahl am Frühstücksbuffett war sehr klein und für das Gebotene sehr teuer. Außerdem sind die Betten sehr alt und die Lattenroste instabil

Cons:

Struttura molto vecchia... Materassi molto vecchi forse quanto la struttura affossati e con lenzuola macchiate... Bagno ovviamente altrettanto vecchio con doccia molto stretta e non c'era shampoo e bagnoschiuma.
Dalla moquette delle scale per arrivare nelle stanze ad ogni passo usciva polvere. Cattivo odore in generale in tutta la struttura. Gli asciugamani molto piccoli e sottili...
