Meh. It was ok I suppose. Was blocked in the narrow car park. The narrow metal spiral steps to get in the building were not good if you have a bag. Inside was clean but minimal. No lift. Narrow steps on the stair cse to the second floor. Bed was hard. Even after we turned on the switch for the hot water and waited, there was no hot water for the shower. No a/c just a fan.
Me, my partner and my 6 month old daughter stayed in the hotel, the shower was blocked and we had to ask multiple times to get it sorted so that we could shower. The shower temperature wouldn't regulate so we ended up having to keep adjusting throughout the shower, when we asked if something could be done we were ignored and they just left the room. The room was very hot and the fan was broken so we couldn't keep cool.
The room was smaller than shown on the pictures when booking. There was dampness on the wall in the room. Stairs were steep further you went up, this place was not disable friendly at all.
Furthermore when we arrived at the reception booking for breakfast they asked what time we wanted between 7 and 10. We said 7am would be perfect. In the morning however it turns out they booked it on the time we said we would be event which was 10am, there no one there to serve breakfast at the time we request.
I requested for refund, since we had to go else for breakfast to be ready in time for the event. I had to argue and repeat myself until they told us we have to wait until manager comes in. They said they would call me back at 5pm yet they didn't call until 8pm even then they argue saying we must said 10am because the staff put in the system as 10am saying that he check CCTV to check and then refund if I was right.
There was no towels in the bathroom.
Staff knocked on the door before checkout time.
On leaving, I pulled back the sheets, and there was blood and urine stains on the matress.
Disgusting!!
Friendly staff ..compact but comfortable room. Apparent lots of work.been done ... some details still to go, my blind not working properly. Internet access didnt work. Breakfast like a farce..clearly not had 6 cooked breakfast orders before. Not enough cups; tea, and coffee and water not readily available. Milk for cereal seemed to be a problem. Despite this the staff were friendly they just hadnt planned how to serve.
Very reasonably priced. Very central - near the train station. Staff couldnt do enough for us. The adjoining restaurant was lovely. Very posh and food good- especially as we were in a hurry.
Shower/ loo very clean and swish. Single room warm and you could open the windo. THANK GOD! I hate the major chains who rely on aircon only as it never works all might long and it's noisy and you feel so stuffy in the morning.
Brakfast was fine. I had no complaints and the staff did their upmost to accommodate my....awkward friends. Veil drawn on them, I'm afraid!
Rubbish...do not book this hotel.. there was no one on reception to let me check in... left on the end and booked another hotel.. seeking refund... Do not book!!!.
There was no hot water in the evening or in the morning for a shower, couldn’t find a member of staff to talk to, I was told there would be a full English breakfast available in the morning from 7am, myself and another guess was waiting around from 7.15 and again no member of staff to assist, all round very disappointing
Access to the hotel in normal opening hours difficult, needed to climb back ‘fire stairs’ to enter hotel at midday. Hotel very poor cleanliness. Would not have wanted family to stay there.

Bad stay
On arrival I booked a full English Breakfast so I did not have to worry about food for the day but I did not get this and was promised a refund but still not received.
First day two eggs sausage hash browns toast brought to me cold.
2nd day toast eggs sausage milk out of date had to ask for orange juice fridge locked.
3rd day eggs sausage beans no toast had no bread
Last day warm bread not toasted still white I paid 8 pounds a day for this I said if they sorted this out I would use them again but it hasn’t been I don’t think they have a hygiene certificate to cook breakfast vey disappointed.also bedding towels not changed had to ask on my forth day.
I didn’t stay. We arrived at 3pm and the place was empty. We rang the bell and called the hotel - knocked on doors and despite waiting for an hour, the hotel remained empty with no staff around. We had to ring round other hotels to find alternative accommodation and thankfully managed to find somewhere. At approx 10.40pm, the hotel rang me and asked if I was arriving - I explained our experience and said we would not be staying or paying for our accommodation. I would not recommend this hotel
