Never again.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Lack of staff. Called the number on the door 6 times before the call was answered to be greeted by the owner was who 5 minutes away. The number advertised on booking.com also doesn’t work. The room was Baltic, the radiator didn’t work or heating in the old build wasn’t on. There was a stale smell of cigarette smoke in the room even though advertised as a non smoking building. Parking is stated however it’s pot luck on the side of the road as to whether you get a spot. We felt uncomfortable to stay so moved to a different well known hotel instead.

Great
Cons:

The heating was not on and even when I asked the night-time receptionist, he said he will ask the landlord to switch it on, but it was not on at all. However, it was a good experience in overall.

Pros:

Carpeted foor was wet, bathroom stank of sewage. The shower head wasn't even attached to the hose. Room and bathroom generally grubby. There's no parking like the listing suggests, you just have to get lucky on the road. We were on the ground floor, maybe other rooms were better. Not sure how it's got such a good rating, it reminded me of a £30 room in Blackpool.

I will come again
Pros:

I was delighted with the room considering the price! It was very big and spacious and clean with great amenities. My only thing that I would to mark it down on the bathroom. The toilet was very wobbly. But other than that, I was super happy and I would definitely stay again.
