Pros:

Room was very basic but ok for a one night stay

Cons:

It was more like a hostel than a hotel with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. No food available in the hotel
I didn't like having to wait to pick up my room key in the busy noisy bar at check in.Staff were very busy

Cons:

We refer specifically to Room 8. The bed and furnishings were fine. The room had it's own door directly onto the street which did not feel secure - it felt as if anybody who might push the door would be able to open it, even when locked. The room had single glazed windows on 2 walls, which again were onto the street, so the traffic noise was extremely loud. The shower room, although nicely appointed, smelt badly of the sewer, which the owner mentioned when we arrived and said they couldn't do anything about. The venue did not serve food so there was no breakfast option, but neither was there any restaurant in the town, only take-aways.

We considered returning home for the night rather than stay there. We would not stay in that room again, other rooms might be fine.

Zum ersten Mal in unserem Leben haben wir ein Hotel nicht genutzt und lieber Geld verschenkt
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Bereits beim Betreten am Nachmittag um 16 Uhr kamen uns betrunkene Männer entgegen. Im Treppenhaus zum Zimmer roch es nach Alkohol bzw. nach Fäkalgeruch aus einer Toilette. Im Zimmer unter dem Dach waren die Möbel stark beschädigt (Einschlagstellen von Fäusten in den Schränken). Die Zimmer waren nicht gesäubert, insbesondere in den Mülleimern waren noch Reste von vorherigen Gästen.
Wir haben das Hotel dann umgehend verlassen und uns etwas anderes gesucht. Aufgrund der geforderten Vorkasse haben wir leider von unseren 200 EUR für 2 Nächte nichts mehr gesehen.

It's okay
Pros:

It looks safe, and has everything it promisses to have.

Cons:

The window didn't work, they didn't help fix it, we had to go and ask twice. The bartender tried to help, but it was useless.
It smell like smoke the whole time, which is unsafe in general and really bad for asthmatics.
Shared bathroom.

Cobwebs, mouldy walls and a loose wire
Pros:

Staff member was friendly on arrival and showed me to my room.

Cons:

My room was directly on the main road with only 1 door (where the wood was rotting) between me and any pedestrians outside. The room was cold and had visible mould and moisture on the walls in the bathroom and the bedroom. There was a loose cut cable hanging from the television and multiple stains across the carpet. If it hadn’t been for the wedding nearby I was attending I would have gone home. The bedding and bed was clean. The windows were single panes (no double glazing) so not only was it cold throughout the night I could hear every word being said in the pub through the wall and the folk walking past outside. There was cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and a thick layer of dust on the headboard. There was also an old toilet roll in the bathroom that hadn’t been tidied away. The bathroom also stank of sewage at all times. I think the only thing that had been cleaned in a while was the bedding.

In all honesty, I put up with it for the night because it was the only option within a 10 mile radius - had the bedding been unclean I think I’d have slept in my car instead. I left as soon as I woke up in the morning.
