Partner and I were in the city for a concert at Wolfbrook Arena, and were greeted by very friendly and helpful staff who were happy to help us with the best route to walk to and from.
The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and had a lot of local information. It was great to have a kitchen, which had everything you need, to make your own food. Very easy transport links (bus stop right outside the hotel) and a good location; out of the city but close enough to walk in or catch a short bus ride. Very cheap accommodation, very good value for money - I would highly recommend this hotel.
MJ was only too willing to answer my queries to make my stay an enjoyable experience, with many thanks.

The bar girl was most helpful and very presentable the food was good the room was ok but the hand rail at the top of the stairs stopped had no grip a piece of wood needs to be added to give a grip for safety thank-you
Clean room also bathroom and toilet.The room had been newly renovated and had its own new sink. I was delighted to be able to use a well-equipped kitchen.
After a series of missed calls and ignored messages in the app, I was able to organise a late check in. Despite this on the day of my arrival, this property was very ready to leave me out on the street in the middle of the night. It took another two missed calls and a yelling match over the phone to finally get into my room.
Bar below is fine for a drink, darts, and dirty looks. The room is uninhabitable, unless you like dirt, grime, and foreign chemical and biological substances on your surfaces. The place is old to begin with, but not kept up and dangerous. If you have children definitely look elsewhere.
I dont know whos fault. I booked and paid thtiugh the Hotels.com app and on the check in day, the Blackhorse Hotel said i was not booked for. Thus i lost my money and had to book other hotel as the only room available at Blackhorse wasnt suited for me. No refund for me...becareful of using hotels.com app.

It was okay. The hosts were nice and courteous, the room was clean and the bed was comfy. I think it should be mentioned that there will be loud music/karaoke almost every night as couldn’t sleep until after 11pm most nights, also there’s no glass in the window of the toilet so it’s pretty cold when you need to go, but can’t complain too much as it was very affordable to stay.
