Total waste of money, would not recommend anyone staying here
Pros:

Nothing other than the location

Cons:

The fact that it was filthy, shit in the bathrooms everywhere including a turd in the loo, mouldy dirty towels, leaking sink that flooded the bedroom and really uncomfortable beds and pillows. On top of that the hotel refuses to be held accountable for this and refuses to refund a horrendous stay

Budget in everything except the price
Pros:

Location. Bed OK, sheets and towels good. Clean.

Cons:

Shower cubicle actually in room rather than separate bathroom although room designed for 3. Bunk bed over double (which you bang your head on if reaching for something on bedside table). '24 hr reception' did not answer the phone when I wanted to find out how to make the room warmer as it was freezing, so went downstairs. Nobody there, but a kind man housed in the hotel by the council told me how to adjust the heating - and then told me it wasn't turned on anyway. Furniture chipped and in poor condition.

Cons:

Breakfast was bad, poor service.. How can you give quarter plates for having break fast..

A housekeeping staff just opened the door and walked in to clean without even checking

The building is not the same shown in the pic.

Safe when locked in room.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The hotel let what only can describe as homeless people wander around the hotel, one of these gentlemen was sleeping on our corridor didn’t feel safe leaving the room or using lift with the group of men in reception making comments as we passed. Unsure why the hotel would allow this.
