Second time I stayed in 12 months. This stay I noticed the toilet was leaking/running noisily from instant I walked in. Every time going to tell Reception there was no one there. General upkeep of maintainence would go a long way.

Good location, no close parking though. Room was clean and staff were nice. Terrible shower with hardly any pressure, tap spurted out everywhere in the sink which made using it really hard. No where to fill up a water bottle and no water in the fridge. Comfortable bed though. All in all not too bad for what we needed but do not expect a fancy room at all.

Worst hotel i have ever stayed at. The hotel is under renovation, which was not mentioned on their website. No elevator, no restaurant, and no staff. Our holiday was cut short because all the staff had covid. Plus there was mould in the fridge.

Affordable and good location for walking distance to shops, tram, train and bus. Very cozy room and not well thought out design of bathroom as very tight. Needs a bit of love and quite noisy outside. No great natural light you’d think it was 7pm at all times. Would I stay again? No. Did it serve as a cheap, convenient stay at the time? Yes. If you’re considering skimping on accomodation but like the finer things, definitely pay that bit extra for nicer place. Bed was really comfy and good size though!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When at the front desk, I was asked to pay deposit above the cost of the room. Another guest mentioned that other guests had to come back to try and get their deposits back. They wouldn't let me use my room I paid for in advance even though they had my card without paying excessive deposit. When I looked at Facebook, it appears that this issue of not refunding deposits in a habit with the hotel. I was unable to get through on the phone on either number to have my room charge refunded as I refused to stay there and pay an excessive deposit and they wrote in writing that they would refund the amount. 1 week later and there is still no refund.

Great accomodation if you are just looking for a bed for the night in an ideal location to town! Tried to check in early, but couldn’t until 2pm which was fine. Stuff were a bit flustered and weren’t all that welcoming. However, good stay overall

The room size, bed and shower were great. However the other guests were so incredibly loud we couldn’t sleep. I let the woman on reception know and her response was “oh yeah that happens a lot”. Disappointing. I wouldn’t booked here again if it wasn’t for the noise.
