Cleanliness
1
Many guests repeatedly call the hotel 'clean' and 'very clean', though there are serious isolated issues reported (blood on bedding, sticky floors, vermin, smelly shower/drain and poor maintenance in some rooms).
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly, accommodating and helpful, with guests grateful for support during difficult stays; reception and security noted as helpful.
Location
1
Convenient central location and on-site parking praised, but several guests noted nightlife/club/takeaway noise and some found the hotel a little out of the way or parking area feeling unsafe.
Room Quality
1
Multiple complaints about room condition: broken sofa bed, uncomfortable/hard beds, faulty doors beeping, holes in walls, poor maintenance, shower problems and persistent smells — outweighing occasional praise for room size/design.
Amenities
1
Basic amenities present (free Wi‑Fi, parking) but several missing or faulty items reported: no bar, no hair dryer, empty soap dispenser, no bedside lamps, lack of TV instructions and other small essentials.
Value for Money
1
Some guests felt it was very good value for the price paid and would rebook, despite some issues — overall modestly positive value perception.
Food and Beverage
1
Little on-site F&B; specifically noted absence of a bar and disturbance from takeaway/nearby venues, which was a negative for some guests.
Overall Experience
1
Mixed overall: many praise staff and cleanliness while others report significant disturbances and maintenance issues; experiences vary widely between very positive stays and stays with major problems.

Pros:

Very helpful staff. Exceptionally clean bathroom.
The bed was fine, and it was decent value for money.
Convenient -if rather difficult to spot- parking included.

Cons:

I had a room with a bath, but the plug didn't stay in. Determined to use the bath, I kept my heel on it, pressing it down! It sort of worked!
Weird thing with the plumbing that caused hot water to come out of the cold tap for a bit?

Was not impressed for the price.
Pros:

The room was a great size and beds were comfortable and clean. Was very clean. Fans also a bonus for the heat.

Cons:

There was a generator going off for a long period of the night which was rather frustrating. The hotel was very noisy and walls paper thin.
Ironing board hanging off the wall and bathroom door didn’t close.
Shower very temperamental but if you enjoy a cold shower you are fine.
Staff cleaned room and checked us out even though we had booked 2 nights not 1. Cleaner removed items we had left in the room and left them at reception.
Wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you want a nice peaceful stay.
