Helpful staff bur poor location in a run-down area. For what we paid it was ok. The room wasn't particularly clean but the bedding and towels were excellent. All the door hinges would benefit from some oil as they squeaked loudly when guests left in the early morning. All the loo seatas moved about and need tightening. These are just a couple of small points but would add to the comfort of a stay. ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mabel Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cleaness was good. ##### Mabel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew May 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Got charged extra for parking onsite ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gordon Apr 29, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Curtains did not fit.

We went for dinner at the peking garden that I 1000 percent reccomend and did a pub crawl from the hotel around town. An amazing night out and our 24 hour access key back into the hotel proved useful! The shower was amazing! Super warm and powerful. Easy check out.

Booked as a stopover for my daughter and myself but got a call as we were on our way to the hotel to advise that there was Issues with hotels.com allowing children when this is for over 18s only. They kindly allowed us to stay as long as we didn’t go through the bar but to find out a couple of hours before we can check in wasn’t great. The room was very basic and the sink was damaged, the shower area was dirty and very dated. ##### Janine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024
