8/10 Very good

Good location, good price, free breakfast, window didn’t lock and could be opened from outside so didn’t feel secure.
Nicola, 1-night trip

I slept well but would stay again, very narrow stairs to second floor. Continental breakfast was provided.

Alex, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely brilliant for the price. Staff are friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, easy checking in and out, and a delicious Indian restaurant right at the back!
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent central location

Excellent central location. The rooms are small, but well equipped and comfortable. You should visit the Indian Cafe Racer downstairs whether you stay in the hotel or not!
Iain, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Would stay again

Basic but clean and friendly, would stay again but ask for a room upstairs as door to the bar which was just outside the room was constantly in use and slamming shut.
Kay, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location and great value. Room was very small but very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately there was nowhere to store bags or clothes which made it very difficult to get changed etc as the little floor space there was was taken up by our belongings. Could have done with just some hooks for coats at least, which there seemed to have been at one point but they were missing. Still a very good option if you need somewhere comfortable to sleep for the night. The included continental breakfast was decent and 10% off drinks at the bar was a nice touch too.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Initial entry shows the carpets a little grubby and scuff marks all up the walls as you climb the steep stairs. Uncomfortable 2nd bed in our room as it dipped on one side. Grade 2 listed building so no double glazing to protect from the traffic noise Limited choice at break but all options were fresh and consistent. Awesome friendly & helpful staff Room clean with fresh towels and plentiful tea/ coffee supplies. Indian restaurant attached comes highly recommended Our 3 night stay was fine for what we needed it for.
Rebecca, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect budget hotel and although room was hot, a fan was provided on request. Breakfast was continental but adequate.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel

The hotel was absolutely stunning, very spacious and very close to the city centre. Staff were very friendly and hospitable.
sumaira, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Noisy and Filthy

Very old hotel. Everything is old and stained. The stairs going up to the room are filthy. Inside the room, the furniture is as old and outdated. You can hear everything from the outside bar and street. Hotel is also next to a highway.
Francisco, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Budget hotel in great location

Good value hotel, cheapest I could find near the centre and really well located. Great Indian restaurant attached. Friendly staff, sports TV. Didn’t get to breakfast which is included. My room was tiny which I expected. What would have made it better is if the fixtures were all fixed to the wall - hooks, shelves, bathroom shelf and shower were all loose or hanging off - easily sorted one would think. TV didn’t work. However, I would return, the benefits outweigh the niggles and very affordable

It was good as a convenient area to get around but the room was small with tv very low over bed and a broken toilet seat.

Cheap, comfortable and central

Perfect place for the night... very central and easy to check in and out. Great price and comfortable sleep, with a bonus of a continental breakfast thrown in
