Rooms with windows that don't open and no air con, hot hot hot with no chance of a spare fan - dirty bathrooms and the cleaners did nothing during our stay (probably because the rooms were too hot to hang around in!) The car parking is VERY limited and not free, so watch out as you are likely to get... More

I stayed here for just one night (thanks God!!) for a congress. Unfortunatly, I did not check Tripadvisor b4 as that would certainly put me off. I can accept a simple and even dated decor, I can accept a bit of noise...BUT, what I found is just not acceptable...and that was thilth everywhere, it was the first time in my... More

They were painting some areas while we were there but have quite a way to go!! We stayed 2 nights and the first night our toilet was very difficult to flush. o difficult... More

I've satayed at this cheap city centre hotel before, and found it to be ok,clean, and decent value. I have never been here in good weather before however, and due to the combination of large non opening windows (no opening windows at all) and no air con, it is simply unbearable- if this was a workplace it would be shut...

Even if you are using a budget hotel, you expect to be able to sleep, thats really pretty basic stuff. I was working and needed to study in the evening and get a good nights sleep, so I specifically emailed to ask for the quietest room available. It was clear that there was hardly anyone staying there, and I dont... More

I dont understand when people say 'you get what you pay for', it is not. You may pay £29 for a double but the least you expect is for it to be clean, everthing else can be as basic as it needs, there is no need to pay less to get a dirty room. Though I have never seen fury... More

Do not stay here!!!!! My room was filthy. The floor had obviously not been hoovered for weeks and when I pulled back the sheets there was an extremely long hair curled on them (uggh!!). The bathroom was shabby with broken fittings and stains on the walls. Tea and coffee pots etc were not replaced overnight and my (clean) bathroom floor... More

.. and I would definitely pay again. £29 for a double room including breakfast in a city centre location - that's value for money. It is basic but functional and most importantly clean. The staff on both my stays have been pleasant and helpful. Car parking onsite is limited but nearby Adams St at £5 for 24 hours is a... More
