Not as expected. Disappointing.
Pros:

Five minute walk to the railway station.

Cons:

The advertised description as a “4-Star Hotel” (as seen on Google Maps, which I used to find a hotel near the railway station, but not seen on Booking.com) is obviously a typographical error; but a serious error that should be corrected, quickly. On arrival, I signed in at the public bar in the pub and was then conducted across the road to a tenement annex where my room could be more reasonably be described as “One of several student flats sharing a communal self-catering kitchen”. My bathroom was in the hall, where I had to leave and lock my room when I went for a shower or to use the toilet. I was probably the only person in the property that night; I didn’t see any other guests and there certainly were not any staff in attendance. I was unable to get any breakfast as “ the chef does not come on duty until 10 a.m.”. For checkout, I just left my keys with the cleaner.

Staff in the pub were great but I wouldn’t stay there again
Pros:

Staff were great. Didn’t realise the room was across the road. Was taken round the back of this building and it looked a mess rubbish everywhere and bars on the ground floor windows I was thinking where we being taken. Food in the hotel was good though

Cons:

No pressure on hot water tap in en suite. We were in the loft and the smoke alarm had been taken down and there was no fire alarm in this building. Furniture and room very basic but suppose that’s why it was cheap. I wouldn’t stay here again

A good stay and location for what we needed- thank you!
Pros:

Great location and super friendly staff and appreciated the complimentary beverages.

Cons:

We appreciated the window was open to cool it down but there ended up being a lot of flies in the room. The bathroom shower door was off track and didn’t close well, there was also some mold on the ceiling in the bathroom which would be worth a look.

Very basic room and would not recommend staying here
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

Very small room. No hand towel or soap which we had to walk over from the annexe to the pub to ask for. Got up in the morning to discover that the cord for the electric shower was faulty so could not get a shower.
