Needs new management
Pros:

It had parking.

Cons:

The staff weren't very friendly. I asked if they could make a sausage and bacon sandwich. They said no. We can provide toast and bacon and a sausage. So basically, they gave me half a sandwich. Never had this problem before. The room was noisy. Good luck if you get room four. Those cars are loud. The hotel is delapated and needs some updating but I don't think the owners have the money to do it. Three stars is too much for this hotel. To summarise, staff not accommodating, room awful and noisy, and breakfast is poor. I have stayed here before and by accident booked it again (Booking.com needs to warn people they have stayed there before).

Definitely the last time.

Pros:

Staff were fabulous. Location great to walk into town. Price lowest in town town. Bed SO comfortable.

Cons:

This is an Indian restaurant with bedrooms above. Not a hotel. Restaurant is loud in the room and rooms are tired in need of a clean/paint. Shower hot and cold depending on others using the showers/ water. Facilities in bar are focused to serving Indian restaurant and breakfast time was awful. No atmosphere, very little choice if you didn't want cooked breakfast. But landlord could not do anything more for us. Photos on line are not the same as current Indian restaurant deco - so appreciate this is cheap for a reason.

Für ein oder zwei Nächte erträglich, von längeren Aufenthalten würde ich abraten.
Pros:

Freundliches Personal. Bett ist in Ordnung. Auch ein sehr ordentliches Frühstück mit mehreren Varianten wurde geboten.

Cons:

Badezimmer ultraklein, zudem keine Mischhahntechnik am Waschbecken, so dass man sich wahlweise kalt wäscht oder die Finger verbrennt. Kein Zahnputzbecher. Die Fenster sind nachträglich doppelverglast worden, aber stümperhaft und nur schwer zu öffnen.

Rooms over the top of a curry house, decor of the 1960s with no investment
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I stay in hotels at least twice a week every week & without exception this is the worst “deluxe” room I have ever stayed in!
Four post bed but no room either side, en-suite the same size as a motorway services cubicle! Shower well pipes of bath taps!!
Wall paper on the ceiling inc en suite! Toilet seat falling off, stains on carpet, main light with all shades missing, bulbs missing & not working, rooms over the top of a curry house! Endless but avoid or be disappointed

Horrible
Pros:

We liked nothing. Booked for 4 nights only stayed 2 lost money

Cons:

Where do I start, the room was damp, cold and moldy and make me wheeze. It was like a dungeon out in the courtyard. We when home after two of the four nights could not stand it any longer, lost £110 each, would not recommend this place.even the breakfast was not good. Worst place ever stayed in.

Shabby no chic
Pros:

Poor outdated facilities, room over a loud car park/ smoking are,a which had movement active spots lights going off through out the night with no black out curtains. Bathroom needs some TLC. Average breakfast, staff were great. I would say the price was a lot for the quality of the rooms.
