Verwaarloosd, vergane glorie met schoon gedeelde toilet en badkamer.
Pros:

De lakens, gedeelde toilet en gedeelde douche met de gasten van in totaal 4 kamers zijn gelukkig schoon. Er was een ontbijt en kans om met andere gasten in contact te komen.

Cons:

Het is vergane glorie, alles is vies en slecht onderhouden. Het is nog minder dan een hostel omdat je ook in het hotel helemaal niemand van het hotel tegenkomt: selfcatering noemen ze dat..We wisten dit van te voren, we hebben ons er doorheen geslagen maar waren wel opgelucht dat we na het ontbijt weer in de frisse lucht verder konden fietsen.

This was our 6th night and last stay on the Hadrian’s Wall hike and the worst by far.
Cons:

Poor value for money, cynical pricing because of the location. Bed uncomfortable, looks very run down, no heating.
Minimal breakfast
