Dirty and run down.

Stunning building and great location. However the interior needs lots of TLC. We had a fan in the room which did not work, the other was thick with dust. We could not open windows. Towel rail had clearly been broken off wall and not replaced. And paint literally peeling off walls…To name but a few. My heavily pregnant wife asked for another pillow which never turned up. There was no mirror in the room other than the bathroom, not ideal for a family of four sharing. When we moved chairs to sit down we found empty wrappers and other muck/dirt. Guests in the room above were noisy all hours with music starting at 3am. For the price we didn’t expect five star luxury but working amenities and cleanliness are a must!

Worst hotel ever

Hotel was disgusting everywhere was dirty. Carpets. Bed. Bathroom. Wall paper. Mould. Hairs on wall. Cob webs everywhere. Windows so dirty we walked in. And walked out after 15 mins. Checked out within hour that’s only because it took sooo long because nothing worked on desk.
Cracked sink.
Dirty windows
Bird shot everywhere

It's just tired - staff are over worked and tired ( still friendly tho). Decoration is cracked, broken and tired. Breakfast options were not worth £12.50 - they were cheap and (you guessed it) tired. There was a massive crack innour door. The toilet never flushed properly. The toilets on the fround floor where absolutely dusgusting! Water all over the floor and no toilet roll or a way to dry hands. The only good thing about the hotel is location. Its close to everything you'd need. It needs some tlc
