Not worth £52!
Pros:

It is very central
But parking is a problem!

Cons:

Not much, I understand that is a budget hotel, but I could not get on with the threatening little notices several places in the room!
It does not show any respect for the guests.
The windows were filthy, the decor dire. The floor tiles had been painted and were peeling badly leaving paint bits stuck to you feet!
Every was botched, the repair on the furniture, the decorating.
And the plastic coving.
The over use of automatic air choked you in the hallways.
The bedding was made from polyester, both linen and the cover and pillows. Lumpy and uncomfortable.
The bed was hard and uncomfortable.
It was impossible to find a good temperature on the shower, even the lowest setting was too hot.
And do buy a shower screen and install it right where you threatening notice sits, so there is no chance of getting turfed out mid shower!

Shocking
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Booked a hotel with family friends, was told he wasn’t able to come upstairs or in the room. Ended up not staying, absolutely shocking. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. He also tried charging me £100 extra, although I was only there for 5 minutes. Scum.
