Location

Cons:

Dirty, mattress was as flat as a pancake, noisy, no electric socket near the kettle, we had to put the kettle on the floor next to the wardrobe, very unsafe. The window latch was broken. Would not stay again!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

Location good but worth paying extra to stay somewhere better
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

The beds were really uncomfortable, pictures of rooms are misleading. Unfortunately the building means you can hear every sound from floors above or on the same floor. We woke at 6am and couldn’t wait to check out and leave.

Pros:

The view was great and location was perfect. Nice room space and easy booking in and leaving. Staff was friendly. Good price for the one night.

Cons:

Other visitors were smoking weed and it filled our room with the smell which wasnt pleasant but that is not the hotel fault. The tv played up a lot with signal issues luckily had my phone and took a while for the water tap to work but was fine when it did.

Nice but wont stay again
Pros:

Everything on your door step, it was clean and comfortable,staff where friendly

Cons:

The curtains are rubbish they need thicker curtains up that actually fit and close. Theres no staff on through the night which was a problem because the couple staying in the next room were arguing and shouting and smashing the furniture up it was going till 3am,the floorboards above need doing they were loud when people were walking about. We stayed Friday to the Monday and only Sunday was a good sleep.Its a shame as the owners are nice people.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

Room not ready, no towels or toilet paper.
Asked reception to put some in the room while we were out, only brought towels.
Gave us keys that didn't fit the front door so we were locked out, went around the back and the door had been left unlocked.
Other guests came in late, drunk and noisy.
We barley slept.
Next morning there was what looked like a broken picture in the passage and empty food containers.
I would describe the room as grimy, bare minimum cleaning.
I didn't take photos but should have.
We left just after 8.00

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room was tiny, our bed was held up by extra wood and was still extremely wobbly , the wooden floors and furniture made the place so so noisy.

UNHYGIENIC- BEDBUGS- Safety risk MOULD
Pros:

AVOID - BEDBUGS!!!! I booked this on behalf of my sister and fiancé as they were attending a local event nearby to join friends.
Unfortunately the room reserved for them was a whole safety risk resorting in them having to leave on return from there evening event at 1am in the morning with nowhere to stay. The bedding had BEDBUGS and their feces on. Soiled bedding. Mould on the wall creating harmful spores and MORE. We have full photographic evidence of this. (I currently hold one of the images)
There was no original high expectations other than a clean safe hygienic room to stay in, however my sister then had to find another hotel room and to also pay full cost. We are yet to receive full refunds and communication. Booking are aware yet they have ended communication!!!

Never again - there is too much to say about the place and not enough space to write it all in! Breakfast was supposed t
Pros:

Location was near the venue!

Cons:

Where do I start? Reception was obviously part of the owners sitting area as empty cups were laying around and children’s toys.
