Very good

Quiet and comfortable. Doesn't take card payments.
Opted to pay the hotel on arrival, but they weren't able to take care payment, so I had to go and find a cash machine like it was the 90s. Paying cash in this kind of establishment just feels like a tax dodge.
Otherwise it was quiet and comfortable.
For the price we paid circa £130 in comparison to other hotels nearby I don’t feel this is value for money.
Upon check-in we were greeted with a note “back in ten minutes” not a great start although was actually only a few mins. Check-in process was painless but we were on top floor- 4 flights of stairs and there was no lift. Not ideal for all.
Rooms are really small. Literally a double bed and couple chairs. No wardrobe as rooms are so small - just a tiny 10cm front facing rail with 2 hangers on. You couldn’t stay here for longer than a day as you couldn’t hang any clothes. Although small the rooms are pretty well equipped. Tea/coffee/kettle, shower supplies, good towels / TV /Floor standing fan. Water pressure in shower not great and shower tray really slippery - needs a shower mat. Bed really was too soft and worn. Check out easy.
They charge you more for breakfast and no free parking so if you want to leave your car parked outside then whack on another £13.30 a day in charges.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hotel was clean. Shower was very weak and hot water took ages to come through. Lots of things needed minor repairs which was a bit disappointing. Door handle to bathroom. Light hanging off wall above bed. Handle on sliding door. Was ok but felt a little unloved.
