Fabulous location two minutes from the railway station and close to the city centre so ideal for a couple of nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room quiet and spacious. The only issue was the room could do with a bit of TLC - the curtain rail was literally hanging by a thread and the bathroom ceiling was slightly mouldy.
The first room we were allocated had a distinctly chemical smell when we entered. While unpacking my things I noticed a bug crawling on the carpet so I killed it. google identified it as a bed bug. It was delivered to reception and a new room requested. We took the only twin available. The only positive thing to say is the bed linen and towels were clean and freshly laundered everything else was a million miles from the adverting pictures.
Enough said, our party won’t be staying there again.
Did not like the room due to having two different sides that had tapped ceilings . Causing us to have to duct everywhere, frightened i was going to bang my head getting out of bed. Also you could not plug your hair dryer up anywhere near a mirror.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Had another lovely stay, staff were very friendly, the room was clean but the bathroom needs a make over. Other than that my friends & I had a great time
The staff were friendly, and helped with assistance when I had booked the wrong date. This is the only positive point to this hell-hole of a 'hotel'.
The room itself was tiny, and had last been decorated circa 1974. The beds were just about passable for the price, however walking around the room risked a serious head injury due to the incredibly low ceilings. Only Warwick Davis would find the ceiling height adequate.
Although the hotel didn't have a spa facility, it did however have a sauna. Sadly the sauna was in fact the bedroom - the temperature was akin to the Sahara Desert, but with more dust. When the window was opened the three inches allowed, the cacophony of terrible karaoke from the pub opposite was enough to make anyone jump out of the window to their death. Alas, due to the tiny opening I was unable to do this.
If things couldn't get worse, the bathroom looked as though it had never been updated since the invention of bathrooms. The Romans probably had better facilities. In fact, the cavemen probably did. It has to be seen to be believed.
I wouldn't stay again if you paid me.
Whilst we had the largest room in the hotel, it was certainly not well planned nor furnished. It was impossible to obtain a reasonable temperature for the shower. The floor was quite simply the noisest I had ever been in, my walk from the bed to the bathroom in the early hours woke my wife up. The plated breakfast was fine and next door to one of the finest examples of tiled ceilings and fireplaces I have ever seen, well worthy of the National Trust let alone a hotel. Difficult to locate the parking but at least it was free.

Room temperature to hot. Noise from outside. Bathroom bad condition. No positive's
The property is in need of maintenance and an upgrade. It doesn’t feel welcoming upon entrance and there’s no staff on site overnight. Our shower wasn’t working. If you’re not particular about comfort and simply want a bed next to the train station, you’ll be fine. But otherwise I would suggest another hotel.
The fire door near room door kept banging all night people next to us banging their doors. And outside humming late at night with what sounded like extractor fans
