Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were friendly and welcoming, hot breakfast was cooked to order and was very good. Room itself was clean, bathroom is in need of an update and showing its age. There was no internet in the room although staff tried to reset it it would not connect in the room and cell service was sketchy at best. Our TV remote also did not work, even after a battery change. First world problems perhaps but two things that negatively impacted our stay.

Not a good hotel for hot weather. Sleepless night as really small and stuffy. Window has no screen and at street level. Liked the history of the place and the cute pub.

Eat here don’t sleep here.

The staff were fantastic and very helpful. The food was also very good. The rooms were like stepping back in time to the 1970’s. Awful beds. Luke warm drippy showers. Plug sockets that you couldn’t get a plug in. Windows that won’t stay open without propping them up with a log. Mouldy tiles in the bathroom. Lumpy beds. Tiny towels. Really was the worst room I’ve ever stayed in! At £135 I expected much better.
Can’t get a plug in as too close to the surface.
Toilet so high it was very hard to sit on.
Mouldy sink
Mould all around the bath

Friendly but shabby

The welcome was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good, but the property felt run down and shabby. Our windows looked out onto a dirty fire escape and had no way to hold them open, but would not have been secure open anyway so room was hot. Sitting on the high square toilet was like an implement of torture. The mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable and could feel the springs and got bounced around by partner. Paint peeling off the walls. Carpet so thin and with no underlay. Cobwebs around ceiling. Very dated room with little to recommend it. Shower was powerful when the hot water eventually came through.
