Hotel.closed down at 7pm, luckily I gained entry by another guest on food delivery, and I was told off by receptionist when I finally got served and given room access. Rude and dismissive

Terrible.
Pros:

There was hair all over our bathroom floor, it hadn’t been mopped there was mud or blood or whatever it was. The mirrors were filthy. We waited at reception for 15 minutes ringing the bell and calling reception and the man didn’t come and when he did he sauntered down the stairs and made no apology for how long we’d been waiting to check in.

Cons:

How filthy everything was.

Satisfactory, but could be better
Pros:

1. Electric charger available
2. Room was ready according to check-in policy
3. Good location and quiet area
4. Nice staff

Cons:

We took the cheapest room, so maybe for others some points below are not relevant
1. Shower has 2 options, low stream with warm water or good stream with too hot
2. On booking.com it says free private parking, but parking costs £5 per day, although not critical
3. Just one sachet of body wash per person
4. Cleaning could be better
5. Matrasses are not perfect at all
