Fine for one night
Positives: the reception man was nice and the location was very easy to get to.
Negatives: the room smelled bad, there was mould in the bathroom, and one of my pillows had mascara on. Additionally, the room was very cold, and the bed was not comfortable.
Unfortunately the people in the room next door were very loud and woke me up at 5am- obviously not the fault of the hotel itself but another reason for a restless night. I don’t think I would stay again.

Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop.
Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard

Avoid
I booked this hotel as the description said a few minute walk from the theatre, and also showed the pin on the map being right next to it. Once I’d booked and put the address into maps it was an 11 minute walk which wasn’t too much of an issue but I was annoyed as the location was the reason I chose it. I then messaged the hotel through the app to check I had the right address with no reply. I’d booked the hotel as 1 guest as I was the only person staying that night. Myself and my uncle arrived as he was helping me with luggage. He was hoping to come into the room to just get changed before we headed out… not allowed! We were left with no option but to pay an extra £10 to ‘upgrade’ the room to allow him to do so. The room itself was cold and smelt unpleasant. The bathroom was covered in mould. I didn’t inspect the cleanliness thoroughly as I was in a rush to get ready but did notice a few hairs on the bed and the TV remote was filthy. The bed was 2 singles pushed together and was awful - I felt every spring and had an awful nights sleep. Not helped by the paper thin vertical blinds letting the light in. I didn’t expect anything amazing due to the price but certainly wasn’t expecting this. Thankfully it was only for 1 night.

no real reception, really steep stairs & room at top of three flights - no lift, not in a nice area of town and entrance to 'hotel' exposed, felt quite vulnerable. not for solo travellers

Downmarket and disappointing
The hotel was accessible from a door on the street next to a Kebab shop! The experience was shocking as reviews seemed to be quite good. Basic tiny room which was clean but very downmarket!
