The staff here were so lovely that I almost don’t want to comment on the property- the room was filthy, there actually wasn’t someone on the desk the whole time, the photos on here are not of the inside of the property, there’s no hot water… but the bed was clean, it was actually really quiet and the staff I did see were really helpful… would have been brilliant for one night, was ok for two nights- really would have been impossible beyond that

Absolutely shocking on a whole different level. Torn carpets, stains on the wall, water didn’t run in the makeshift shower, no remote for the tv. I can only assume it was like Josef Fritzels basement. Horrendous place to rest. Wouldn’t go back if it was free.

The pictures are very different to the room that we were given. The decor was extremely tired, light fittings missing, mould in the bathroom, rot to the bottom of the bathroom door, very old and creaky bed - I could go on. With minimal expense, the rooms could be made so much better.

First room had a nauseating smell of either cheese/vinegar with stained bedding and carpets. We immediately requested a new room. However, the new room had a broken radiator (stuck on full power) and a window that would barely open. Whilst the second room wasn't pungent, it was far from comfortable or clean. Stained carpet, yellow mattress, dried vomit on outside of toilet etc. Entire place could do with a bit of TLC and servicing. Finally - the smoke alarm went off at 3am. Cannot fault the receptionist, who very quickly sorted our room swap. An acceptable place to stay if all you need is a bed and running water...
