Pros:

It was clean and secure

Cons:

On a heatwave they opened all windows to let the heat in. Rooms were stifling.no fans or air conditioning. The lift mechanism sounded like someone playing the drums every time it was in use. External doors locked all the time because of the area it is in.

Meh.
Pros:

On arrival the doors were shut, so I had to use the buzzer to get in where there was a sign that reception was currently not manned, however a member of staff was there straight away to check me in. The hotel was very quiet, the lift took forever to get to the second floor. The rooms/hotel seems to have recently been redecorated so it was all very clean and fresh.

Cons:

The bathroom drains seemed to push out quite a horrible smell. There was no aircon or fan in the room and the window (as standard hotels do) only opened slightly. Sadly at about 10pm the local homeless population seemed to have gathered outside the hotel, and so the night was spent listening to loud conversation, shouting/arguments and bottles smashing, I shut the window and could still hear them, and the room was incredibly warm with the lack of fresh air coming in.

A comfortable stay in a convenient location.
Pros:

A huge room, which was clean. Opening windows. The hotel is well situated for the station and the cathedral

Cons:

There were no drawers to unpack into. There was nowhere to put shampoo etc in the shower. All the reading lights were on one switch, so inconvenient for one person wanting an earlier night. There was no one about. Breakfast was hugely expensive. £35 per day for two of us. We went to the nearby Wetherspoons instead at a fraction of the cost.
