This is definitely a 3 star hotel, very conveniently situated if you travel by public transport, but you'll have to make alternative arrangements if you travel by car. The premises incorporate a run-down bar which serves pub food and also serves as the breakfast room. Vegetarian and other options are catered for. On arrival, we had one meal there which was o.k. and very reasonably priced, although the beef lasagne I ordered turned out to be a vegetable one. Our room being street-facing and almost directly over the bar, on Friday and Saturday night we were subjected to noise and music from the bar until midnight, which we found was tolerable, but may be a minus for guests who want to go to bed early.
Staircase and corridor were as tired as the bar. There is no lift, so the hotel is not suitable for persons with limited mobility. Our room had obviously been reasonably recently refurbished, the carpet was clean, radiators and other fitting looked new and the bathroom was modern, with a powerful shower, a dual flush toilet and a towel rail. It would have benefitted from a shelf to store personal items and holders for the soap/ shower gel dispensers.
The room was clean and tidy. For storage, it featured three coat hooks, but no other hanging space for clothing, nor drawers to store folded items. We had to live out of our suitcases. The mattresses were definitely worn and will need replacing, as admitted by the management.
The staff were friendly and welcoming.
