Definitely one of those where you get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful. Definitely needs a good tidy up in terms of decoration but was clean hygiene wise and honestly the comfiest bed I’ve stayed in in a while.

It's an old building and the furniture and fittings have clearly seen a lot of use over the years. Despite that, our room was spotlessly clean and provided with plenty of toiletries and sachets of tea and coffee.
Special thanks go to the extremely helpful manager, who went out of his way to provide a room that would fit our disability access requirements - going as far as finding alternative ground-floor accommodation in a nearby hotel and offering us the choice of either.

Located in a good spot, but the major problem we had was the mattress was so worn out that it was unsleepable we booked a different room in a different hotel just so we could get a decent sleep..
The room we had was right at the top of the building, the second issue was the room that we had. Didn’t have any working heating or windows that lock so the room was like a freezer.

For £20 for me and a m8 for one night you can't complain really, but they need to get new beds or mattresses, they were bloody torture, I didn't get much sleep.
