Perfect, thank you. ##### Trish Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elise Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The room was very clean and well laid out. The cleaning staff that I bumped into in the hall were so lovely. I wouldn’t recommend this place for someone that is a light-sleeper - as the building is very old, the sound proofing on the windows is non-existent so you can hear everything from the road below. ##### Elise Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Sep 26, 2025 Close to railway and bluebridge ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent option, private and a fair price ##### William Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ning Sep 25, 2025 Disliked: Amenities Too old building ##### Ning Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### BRAD Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Very reasonable rates. Rooms were great and such an excellent location. ##### BRAD Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ben Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It's a real propper dive. Booked here as it was the last available place in town with space. Now I know why. Staff were friendly enough but there's no getting around the dire facility. ##### Ben Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities stayed here a couple of times.
