Pros:

Hotel stammt aus der Hochzeit der "Englischen Riviera", welche dann doch fast ein halbes Jahrhundert her ist. Parkplatz am Haus. Sehr hellhörige Zimmerdecken. Buchung müsste der hilfreiche Portier erst aufwendig suchen, machte dann aber alles in seiner Macht möglich, damit wir nicht schon nach einer Nacht umziehen mussten. Ideal, wer als Kleinfamilie eine preiswerte Übernachtungsmöglichkeit auf der Durchreise sucht und seine Ansprüche an den Preis anpassen kann. Für einen längeren Urlaub eher nicht empfehlenswert.

Pros:

Everything was fine apart from the bathroom floor being dusty. The rest of the room was clean, clean sheets and towels and free WiFi, tea/coffee facilities and hairdryer and a free parking space which is a bonus as parking is limited in that area. The hotel is a little run down, as is the area, but the rooms on the floor that we stayed looked like they'd been renovated, maybe they're working on it gradually.

The room was rather hot. The shower dirty. One of the 3pin plugs didn't work.

Pros:

I have stayed here before and the hotel cannot be faulted on anything. Staff are friendly and helpful and room was beautifully clean and spacious. Facilities were excellent. The outside of the hotel could do with a make over(lick of paint and weeding and a brush ) but this does not affect how amazing inside is . Will recommend to friends and family and would book here again if I need to . Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

You get what you pay for.
Pros:

Fine for a cheap stay. Room had not been hovered and was missing items listed eg hairdryer. The floor was disgusting and the bathroom not much better, however the sheets were clean. Room had clearly recently been repainted as frog tape left on switches. Staff were a bit unhinged, telling us they hope our nephew doesn’t pawn his birthday gifts for weed. Found dead rat next to my car in the morning. Probably wouldn’t stay again, but was fine in a pinch.

Pros:

My room was very tidy and clean , the bed was very comfortable. When my shower switch didn’t work it was fixed almost immediately. Reception were friendly and explained about the lift being a little bit slow. The outside of the building could do with smartening up and the car park could do with a tidy but this did not affect my wonderful stay. I would stay here again.

Pros:

Very disappointed
The bed was clean and the towels were fluffy. That’s all I can say that was nice about it. No parking anywhere near. Very smelly hotel. Down 4 stairs up 8 stairs and down another 4 stairs to get to room and I am on 2 sticks. Walls need a good wash or coat of paint. Floods need cleaning. Would not recommend it at all.
