Amazing staff
Pros:

We unfortunately did not get to stay at this hotel due to a lock malfunction on the door, for our safety, Tony moved us to a neighbouring hotel - he was so friendly, very thorough and kept in communication with us.

10/10 for staff!

Cons:

Sadly we did not get to experience this properly, the one we got swapped to was appalling-but nothing to do with this hotel so won’t be leaving a bad review.

Interesting stay, to be fair £20 was a good price.
Pros:

Cheap stay. Close to amenities

Cons:

No staff, no lounge, no bar, only a double socket by bed so had to boil kettle on the floor, no wardrobe, toilet was interesting as it doubles as a washbasin. Smell of weed took me back to my time in Amsterdam in the 80's.
