Pros:

Friendly welcome and help with my bag. Bed was clean and comfortable. The floor in the room was a bit uneven but its an old building.

Cons:

The stairs to the rooms were quite steep and the tap in the toilet area needs attention as you get very little water from it. Maybe needs a de-scale.

Great price and convenient.
Pros:

It was a great price and comfy room. The showers and toilets were very clean and easy to use.

Cons:

On the booking I thought it said there was parking on site. I couldn't find it or it wasn't available and it took me a while to find parking as many of the pay and display carparks near by where for max 12 hours. I also struggled to get the hot water on in the shower and so wasn't able to shower.
