amazing stay, will definitely be back!!!

spacious room friendly staff great location

i had a very spacious room! everything was lovely and clean. the staff were helpful and friendly, which i really appreciated. plus, there's on-site parking available for £10 per day, and the location is fantastic, just a short walk to the city centre. i'm already planning my next visit!

The extractor fan in the toilet was VERY loud. It started up automatically with the light and was quite disruptive. i think it needs some attention to improve the experience.

average stay with some drawbacks

unclean bathroom high noise levels

the location was convenient to the city centre.

The room was not very clean. I noticed hairs in the bathroom. also, i found the noise levels to be quite high due to thin walls and street noise. these issues detracted from my overall experience.

Acceptable experience

friendly staff early car park comfy bed unlocked door big draft open access

The staff were very cute and friendly. It was a bonus that I can park my car really early for only £10. There was tea and coffee was plentiful and the bed was very comfy.

Upon my arrival, I was told to keep the door downstairs locked for the safety of them and their guests. Each time I went in and out it was unlocked. The back door also does not lock, so there's 24/7 access through the beer garden. The window in my room 'seemed' to have a gap and there was a big draft.
