This hotel was a long way from any public transport. The rooms were extremely dated. The hot water went from hot to scalding and stayed that way. Staff were friendly. There was nowhere to eat at night within walking distance as hotel restaurant was closed due to inability to get staff.

Good Value
Good hotel. Staff very helpful. Bags may be left, before or after check in/out time but for a small charge £1 each bag. Free at other hotels. Check out time of 10am is early compared with others. Good value. Parking is chargeable. Optional breakfast charge is a bit high compared to other hotels.

Great budget hotel
This hotel has some very unfair reviews, its a BUDGET hotel and as such I have reviewed it as that. Its a little dated and the checkin wasn't particularly welcoming but it was clean and tidy and my room had everything I needed. For £60 for the night for a twin room it was perfect. Bathroom clean and shower/bath good water pressure with plenty of hot water. Excellent proximity to the city centre
