It looked so horrible we didn't even go in.
Cons:

It looked so horrible we didn't even go in. O course it's non refundable, I think they keep a lot of money that way.
The photos of the exterior do not match reality.

Pros:

Very friendly, good location, rooms comfortable

Cons:

Wifi was spotty and matress was well used with cigarette burn holes in it which was the only let down. The room was nice and i feel bad about even saying anything as the staff and the overall vibe of the place was great.

Pros:

It was very close to bus stops.

Cons:

The window of the bedroom led to the staff room so they could hear everything and could see if the curtain is closed

Pros:

The staff is supportive and well treated. The checkout is well timed, as you don't feel the pressure to deliver the room early.

Cons:

The rooms below are in the building basement or what is called a subterranean floor; this does not suit my mental health condition from such places.

Dont go
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

No TV
Poor reception 😢 very grubby carpet wet in places . Very bad electrics extension leads to supply power to the fan and trailing wires. Kitchen ceiling light didnt work and had a wire with attached bulb hanging from it . Outside to the garden was a plastic roof and there was rodents running on it . Had a sticker of hygiene rated 5 in the window I can assure you it definitely isn't. One guest told me that the council used it to house the imagrants and homeless for free and he laughed when we told him we paid . It was a converted pub into a HMO and they sold rooms as if it was a hotel . Iv never had a bad hotel of booking.com and I use them all the time for short breaks they need to remove it from there site .
