Pros:

Whilst the building internally and externally would not really be described as anything other than words like ' tired' or ' shabby ' what do you expect for less than £ 65 !!!!
What you do get is fantastic , friendly, helpful service from every person I met . Better than the majority of places I have stayed at twice the money.

Cons:

Nothing as it was all better than the price I paid.

No frills
Pros:

My room was at top loft so out of the way. Quiet.

Cons:

Dated and bathroom was a bit rough.
Carpark looks like a place you wouldn't want to leave you car in for 30mins let alone a whole night.
