"clean enough but scruffy in places, curtain on window was hanging off, "

TV in the room had seen better days, as the remote was missing, net curtains were filthy dirty. The room felt very cold and damp. The staff were very helpful and friendly though. Had I booked more than one night I would have been very disappointed. The room served its purpose somewhere to sleep. I would say that the bed was very comfortable which has never been the case in other hotels I have stayed in before.

"initial exterior building looked a bit shabby but once inside room was fine"

"Rooms very poor condition"

We booked 2 rooms and particulary 1021 was very damp and smelly. Both rooms were not up to a good standard and in great need of refurbishment.

"Cheap but not very cheerful"

Stayed for one night booked 2 rooms one double one twin. The twin room was satisfactory however the double was not. The toilet wouldn`t flush as the handle was broken, it also had what looked like s**t stains in the pan that was passed off as rust marks I when complained about them. The room was also damp and smelt musty. When i complained to the receptionist I was told they would send maintenance round to fix it. I asked for a replacement room as this one was not satisfactory. The manager did swap the room for another that was satisfactory, no remote for the TV and only 4 TV cnanels available. The location is close to the railway station and centeral to the city. I would not recomend this hotel the travel lodge is far better value for your money

Was disappointed owing to the fact there was a bath when I tried to use it the fitment was not complete for bath and shower. Consequently only shower available.

"Reasonable"

Average hotel. Unfortunately, reception is on 3rd floor and lift being refurbished. Not too impressed with parts of the room (no tea/coffee in room had to go and get these), bed not fixed together - base kept moving apart!) reasonable size room, good size en-suite but no wardrobe to hang anything!!

"no working lift"

they have a lift but it looks like its been barricaded off for maintance for years, im a wheelchair user and found this very digrading that my hubby had to carry me up stairs. the staff where very patronising and when told about a problem acted like they didnt know about it then did nothing to resolve it. the bed in our room was broken, half the top of the devan was missing, which made the matress sink into the base, the staff where also told about this and said "really" like they didnt know! this is 100% the worst hotel i have ever stayed in, if you want a comfy nights sleep and dont want to be woken up early morning with the fire alarm going off because someone was supposedly using hair spray (another excuse) dont stay here.

"lovely staff but very cold"

hotel was cheap and cheerful with very friendly staff. hardly any blankets on the beds which meant a very cold night. receptionist told me I could have rung down and a porter would have brought me up a heater but I would have preferred an extra blanket to start with. Wouldn`t bother with the breakfast - you`ll get more for your money at a local cafe.

"Coldest hotel ever!"

The hotel seemed nice from the outside but inside was another matter. The room was freezing with no heating on at all. Had to ask for a heater as we were actually shivering in bed! On the way down we noticed a blood stain on wall! Glad we didn`t opt for breakfast!

great hotel, friendlyu staff, comfy stay rooms only bad comments would be on the lift! which kept breaking down... and the noise on the night time. but it`s not a "noisy hotel" but the hustle and bustle from the streets can be heard and also the walls in the hotel itself are very thin....

"You get what you pay for!"

It was a comfortable stay, the only thing that put me off this place were the walls in the room, which were covered in god knows what?? Think a clean and a lick of paint is definitely needed!! Not recommended at weekends if you want a lie in as full of hen and stag parties making plenty of noise until the early hours!

"Sad decor"

Functional is all I can say. Clean room, clean bathroom, good shower. Secondary double glazing meant that the noise levels were really intollerable. Breakfast good, continental
