Over priced hostel not a hotel.
This hotel should now be reclassified as a hostel and a very poor over priced one at that. No housekeeping service unless we stayed longer than 4 days! The beds remained unmaid, room not cleaned daily and toilet left uncleaned. The room was made up of unmatched furniture and the bed mattresses were like sleeping on a bag of rocks.

The place advertises an old façade and yet it's a cruddy new build. The rooms felt shabby and post Soviet. The shower was terrible. It's also not near a single thing. Even though the listing says it's downtown. Not a store, not a bar, not a restaurant, nothing. But the big piece is that they actually have no Wi-Fi in the rooms? I mean, it's 2024. Give me a break. The place was dismal and I'll never go there again and I'm angry that hotels.com lets things advertise the way they do.

Think Fawlty Towers but without Basil…!
Dated, run down and just unpleasant. Room was not serviced at all in the four nights we stayed, hot water was turned off for maintenance in the morning, surely this should be done overnight when guests are sleeping. Fire alarm went off, staff did not know what to do, fire exit almost blocked by two large skips. Extraction fan stuffed full of toilet paper, iron leaked and did not have a current PAT certificate as did the kettle. Saturday morning early deliver right under window, surely use the delivery bay. Room smells of damp. Bath not cleaned, slip mat was full of hair, mould in shower curtain and on tile grout, two small bottles of shower gel for two adults for four nights and when I say small I mean small. Bed very uncomfortable. Hotel needs a complete refurbishment. On check out day our door was knocked twice before our official leaving time to see if we had gone. Would we stay here again - hell no!
Extraction fan filled with toilet tissue.

Never again
Proabablt the worst hotel iv ever stayed in, onky picked it dur yo the location, which is a readon i also expecetdd it to be 100% better than it was. Was no hot water between 10am and 3pm, we asked for a refund which was refused by staff or ahould i say they had ang excuse not yo offer a refind or partial refund as we were not notified prior to check in. Room was smelly, didnt appear to be overly clean, toliet flushed but with 99% struggle from the plumbing side of it, wouldnt flush toliet roll. The curtain pole fell of tge wall when i tried closing them at night time. We also had a door in the room which lead to another resdients room which wasnt the issue it was the nose qe could hear, could here them soeaking on the phone, using the toliet, and even openeing cans. We also werent told about the paid parking, so i had to pay £15 for 2 days. I personally would avoid this hotel untill they sort and upgrade this establishment, becasue what an absolute shame it was for such a good location.

Sadly a very tired old property . I wanted to see the room before I checked in and was told I’d have to pay first . The room smelled badly of cheesy feet but I was able to open a window latch as on ground floor . There was a stand alone mini fridge which when opened stank of old rotten milk -hadn’t been cleaned . The coffee / tea and toiletries were of poor quality . The bedding and towels were very clean and adequate . There was black mould on the grouting in the shower . I had a room of 3 single beds and ended up trying all 3 as first one was do hard and uncomfortable I couldn’t sleep . I was happy to see a kettle in the room . Laura the new general manager was super helpful with my debrief and there is work pending to the bathrooms . The taxi I pre ordered the night before didn’t turn up so the manager helped me ring another company . The place was very busy with coach tours and the visitors seemed happy . I did not have breakfast .

Theres always a reason it's cheap
We were in town for a wedding which started at 13:30. I arrived at the hotel early roughly 12:30 to leave bags and potentially get an early check in as I had been advised to do by the hotel on the day before the event. The woman at the front desk informed us that they couldn't offer an early check in but she would leave a note at the front desk saying we would be back late. This either didnt happen or the message was lost because when we arrived back after the event had finished we were told that they had given our room away. This was around 02.00 on a bank holiday Sunday and we were told "I dont know what you want me to do" after standing about arguing with the front desk for about 10 minutes we were offered an out of service room that had no lights. Obviously we took it as it was either that or nothing but the situation itself was shocking to say the least. How can you pay money for something up front and then not be provided the thing you paid for. Pure greed on the part of the hotel. I felt sorry for the guy on the front desk who i genuinely believe hadn't been informed about us coming and he did give us a complimentary breakfast however I didnt feel like this was enough. I would recommend staying elsewhere.

Do not book this hotel.
The Hotel is very run down. The double glazing is sub standard as road noise was very audible. The photos are clearly old and not representative of the current state. We even had to put up with a delivery being made via a fire escape at 05:30 one morning.
