You get what you pay for 😆
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

It’s practically an HMO with vulnerable people living in it. I’m not sure if I was misinformed or didn’t do enough research. Either way, I would avoid if you don’t want to be woken up by a full on fight outside the door at 3am…

Massively over-priced. Lots of issues. Would not recommend.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

- Bed bug found in bed.
- Struggled to check in.
- Language barrier with cleaner and was very rude.
- Electricity went out when plugging in the kettle, was then told it had switched off more than just our rooms electricity.
- Struggle to find anywhere to park. It’s entirely pot luck if there’s any spaces available nearby.
- Lack of security. Issues at front door of hotel at 3:20am.
- Room key was bent and was a struggle to open the door.

Never again.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Lack of staff. Called the number on the door 6 times before the call was answered to be greeted by the owner was who 5 minutes away. The number advertised on booking.com also doesn’t work. The room was Baltic, the radiator didn’t work or heating in the old build wasn’t on. There was a stale smell of cigarette smoke in the room even though advertised as a non smoking building. Parking is stated however it’s pot luck on the side of the road as to whether you get a spot. We felt uncomfortable to stay so moved to a different well known hotel instead.

Great
Cons:

The heating was not on and even when I asked the night-time receptionist, he said he will ask the landlord to switch it on, but it was not on at all. However, it was a good experience in overall.
