I would definitely go back.
Pros:

Location was excellent. It was a cheap but cheerful stay.

Good stay
Pros:

Room was very clean and comfortable, staff (and other customers actually) very friendly.

Cons:

Music in a Saturday night pub while staying in a room in above floor obviously not great but it was expected. (Whether I'm staying above a pub or drinking in any pub itself it always irritates me that every so often the music gets turned up ever louder!). I would stay here again if I was able to avoid Saturday (and presumably Friday) nights.

Terrible
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything, the room was mouldy, I checked out 30 minutes after checking in and stayed elsewhere

Absolutely Awful and booking.com should be ashamed to feature this property

Horrible in every way.
Pros:

Nothing, it was a genuinely horrible experience.

Cons:

The child sized beds. The black mould in the shower and marks and stains on the doors and walls. The music and karaoke in the downstairs bar that was so loud I could not hear the shower over it whilst in the shower that went on last midnight each night. The lack of any checkout information given to me by the staff.

Perfect for an overnight stay..
Pros:

Great location for the gig, very clean room and shower.. Can't fault that or the gentleman that showed us to our room..

Cons:

My only gripe, was quite cold in the night.. Don't think our radiator came on at all.. Other than that it was a great stay...

Cheap, cheerful and a good location.
Pros:

Pretty basic but comfortable. The pub is nice with a few locals, the room was clean and the bed really comfy. Good value for money and a great location for the nearby arena and the darts. No issues with noise aside from some morning traffic.

Poor
Pros:

Gentleman who checked in helpful

Cons:

The noise. Noisy bar downstairs which had to go in to get key and also noise carried up to the bedroom. So impossible to get to sleep til it closed.
I didn't factor in when I booked it was a Saturday night in town centre
