We had a terrible experience. The windows did not open and were unclean. The carpet was unclean too. The beds had one pillow per person with no headboards on the bed. We had no towels and were told they were waiting on the towels - we got these just before checkout. Overall an unpleasant experience.

AVOID AVOID AVOID! Rip Off. Dirty. No service.
AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! This hotel is a building site that hasn't seen a cleaner for months. Please read more on TA if in doubt! The first room we got offered had no curtains, a dirty bath full of hair, and had a strong paint smell. The second had a burnt bed, holes in the sheets, and a filthy carpet. We did NOT stay and I suggest you dont even book. You pay on site so can't get a refund through hotels.com. We spent an hour on the phone with 'customer services' only to be told their policy required them to escalate the issue to 'the management' . 2 days later our refund request was declined for no reason. A total rip off, they know everybody would request a refund through this portal hence they take your cash on site. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Very cheap, very old and basic. Ok for a night
It is ok for a night. It is very basic so if you are looking for a cheap deal is ok. Disappointed with the water temperature in the shower. Was a bit cold for me.

Overnight stay
Room was what we paid for - cheap and cheerful. Nothing special. Windows were filthy but the view was great. Leaving the windows open meant it was very noisy. We were next to the stairs so also heard everyone coming and going. Mattress was old and springy.

The hotel is a lovely place, the staff was friendly and very helpful. On the days when we stayed the unique bad things we encountered were noise guesses in the room next door, so we couldn't really rest as we expected but apart from that attention at the hotel in great!

The worst hotel I have ever been in. Room really dirty, kettle dirty, squeaky bed, squeaky floorboards, moths and Flys galore. The whole vibe of place was awful and depressing. Place needs a big big upgrade on everything.
