Do not stay
Pros:

Rate and location

Cons:

Room and others in property used for prostitution too. Current tennants told me. People obviously know the codes, hence why strangers wander in and around house at will and at all hours. Probably looking for free rooms to use. Bed very uncomfortable, very cheap, done in matress.
Asked fir wifi code and was repeatedly belittled by person on end of phone. I have all the messages to submit in a review.

Shit
Pros:

The bed was comfortable

Cons:

The owners overbooked the room we were supposed to stay in so we were given a random room and told he'd deal with the guests who were meant to stay there. They failed to communicate that to the other TWO guests(different bookings) leading to the 2nd guy screaming, breaking the hallway lampshades, throwing boxes and duvets down the stairs. He was threatening the seeming hotel staff(the guy who overbooked the room wasn't there) and hailing abuse at them claiming he'd "come back with a gun". This left us scared in our room and my partner has an anxiety disorder so he was literally shaking, had to be calmed down and felt like he was in active danger. We also went out late for food and we weren't given a keylock code/key so we spent 20-25 minutes knocking before another guest came to the door, angry at us as if it was our fault. There was also a dirty chair and ironing board in the corner which was off putting. As soon as we woke up we left immediately.

Not good value for money
Pros:

Location is okay

Cons:

The toilet, kitchen, and room. The key code was provided, but there is no information on which of the key boxes to use to gain entry. There are three key boxes. The overall information flow was uncoordinated. No tv remote, had to beg for one before it was provided

Fair
Pros:

Location
Bathroom and kitchen okay.

Cons:

The room was smelling and has a terrible odour. Had to go out to get my air freshener. Put air freshener in the room.
The towels were okay. Too old. Had to get my own towels.
No footmat or rugs at least bedside rug on the floor in the room .
The footmat in the bathroom to soak water when you come out of shower.
