Absoulte disgrace - Cant understand why booking.com would have anything to do with this place.
Pros:

Absoulty nothing. It was the worst hotel I have ever been in. It was absoutley filty and disgusting - I wont put a pig in it. So bad, we didnt stay in it and had to ring your customer service to try get a refund and all we got was £165 for the second night. And then we had the stress and expensive of trying to find another hotel. We were travelling since 7am that morning only to have this stress brought on us.

Cons:

See above and multiply it by 100

Cheap, budget hotel
Pros:

Clean, spacious room which was close to the station. Helpful staff.

Cons:

The hotel is located on a busy main road, so there was lots of road noise, particularly sirens from ambulances and fire engines.

The bed was extremely hard and not especially comfortable. The toilet had an extremely slow flush!

Worst hotel I’ve stopped in
Pros:

Checking out

Cons:

Very outdated hotel, not clean, everything seemed to be held together by DIY screws and electric tape. They take £100 deposit which I haven’t seen anywhere and have ridiculous rules (no having a guest back, even after I booked a twin room, £50 fine if breached). Bad check out time (10am). Entire hotel had a bad smell. Loud area with people arguing out the front. Rock hard beds.
