Cheap and good location, facilities as expected however, struggled to get hot water for the shower (we were told after we needed to leave the water running a long time. Staff were not very friendly and made us feel like we were an inconvenience for simply checking in! Facilities said luggage storage is available, it was but it was just left in the corner of the breakfast room - we appreciated it all the same. By far the worst thing (and the main reason for low scores and why we will NOT return) was that during our breakfast a staff member cleared his throat loudly and then spat into the bin next to the coffee machine - disgusting ! He then continued to clear tables ! We left immediately!

Fine if just sleeping there

The carpet was loose, causing us to fall down the stairs. Breakfast was just cereal and toast - fine. The room, curtains were falling down, rusty screws in the bathroom, chewing gum like substances stuck to sink, hand soap empty and fell off the wall, coat hooks on the back of the bathroom door were right at eye level and frankly dangerous, bathroom wasn’t level so water didn’t drain properly after a shower, toilet leaked, hole in bed box, loud buzzer could constantly be heard, tv turned itself on randomly during the night, mouldy pillow in cupboard

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property was in a good area and accessible to the place we wanted to get to and from. The interior of the property is very dated, which didn't bother us, but the room was very small for 3 people, and the bathroom was extremely small. The pictures online of the rooms dont show how dated and small it all is. The room was so warm as well and had no ventilation, really. Cleanliness of the room is also very basic. Not sure we would re-book this hotel again.

This place was a mess. Surprised it's on Expedia. First, they charge for Wifi, 2.5L per day. The bathrooms are coverted closets literally, can barely move. Breakfast is a joke-stale cereal, some bread and instant coffee. Room key doesn;t work for the front door half the time.
