Disappointing stay but location is great.
Pros:

Location was perfect for The Garage or King's Theatre. Plenty pubs and restaurants around it and parking close by too.

Cons:

People sleeping rough in tents outside.

Room was noisy, walls were marked throughout and the bathroom was dirty.

Wall lights didn't work and tv didn't work other than 5 basic channels.

Absolutely horrific, avoid at all costs
Pros:

The locations proximity to the city centre may be the only decent thing about it.

Cons:

The rooms were filthy, staff were rude, the hotel was being used as a migrant hotel which was not disclosed to us and we got dirty looks from several of the migrants.

Intimidating awful and uncomfortable
Cons:

It truly was awful. I felt uncomfortable been in the hotel alone. Someone should have mentioned it housed asylum seekers at this hotel and suggested an alternative. Especially as I was on my own. It was intimidating and uncomfortable for me to stay and move around the hotel. So dissatisfied with both booking.com and brittania hotels for letting me stay knowing that my booking was for one person someone should have contacted me to make me aware of the situation within the hotel and immediate vicinity. That way I could have made an informed decision as to whether to continue with my booking.
