Will continue here, micro rusty. No escape from ro
Walked through the front door to noone on reception,we had to ring the bell on the desk before someone arrived. We told him our name and was given a key to the second floor, as told enjoy your stay before he disappeared. So after struggling up the several flights of stairs and long corridors. (No lift) we got to the top of the building. Room no.20. On first impressions, looked clean and tidy. Then sat down in a very cluttered room and took everything in. Put kettle on have a cuppa, big crack it one of the mugs.Go to get a shower, the cubicle was so small you had to leave the door open so you could move. No grab rails, cupboard under sink to store your toiletries , just bare wall and pipes. Double bed had a part memory foam topped mattress, which on inspection ( see pic) was covered in urine stains. I approached one of the cleaning ladied and asked if we could have a different mattress, she told us this could not be done. And it would be ok because the mattress protector was clean on(which was not clean) i asked could we have a clean one to be told sorry but we dont have any! The beds thenselves were cheap metal ones the ones that are responsible for multiple bruises on knees and toes, because they were too big for the tiny room. Cheap hairdryer that over heated. No iron or board as stated. The room was hoovered once in all our stay curtains stank of cigarettes. Went down stairs to check out the dinning room. One shared fridge and wooden spoons and paper plates on the side.con

The property is okay, good location, bus stop right in front of the hotel (8 stops for the center of the city). The bedroom was simple, need a better maintenance of the building and bedroom (There was a 5" hole behind the toilet with pipes exposed). No AC, no mini bar and no ice maker.

Horrible place
Treated with rude counter person. This place has pictures of a beautiful dinning room but does not offer food at all. Room was hot no circulation, windows won’t open. Internet was advised but non existent. Very disappointed with service and accommodations

The bed was very comfy however that's the only thing which was enjoyable. The bathroom which i thought would be in the room was past a glass door at reception and down the hall. The bathroom was covered in spider webs and the shower fell on me when showering. The curtains were covered on dust whoch i found out when i pulled them shut and got a face full of dust come down on me which went in my eyes. I couldn't tell reception about this as nobody was there. I had been at the hospital all day with my son and just wanted something to eat and a rest. There wasnt any guidance to where i could get food so i had to roam aimlessly in the rain u till i eventually found a Greggs. No breakfast was available so in the morning i had to go and search for a cafe over a mile away. As there was a dining area i did expect atleast breakfast. Very overpriced for what was offered. Unfortunately i wont be booking here again.

Lovely hotel and staff welcoming. Rooms are a good size. Lovely and quiet and beds are comfortable. The only downside is that the hallways are narrow and it’s difficult getting through the doors to room. This would be awkward if you had suitcases with you. Also, the hotel doesn’t provide breakfast which doesn’t make sense when it is called a hotel. I stayed for one night as went to Military Tattoo Festival.

The window was open and stuck upon my arrival. The night manager was kind after i checked in but the yoinger employee was very rude. When i told him about the issue with window he made a sarcastic comment, had to shake the window for awhile to get it down. Then cursed about me to another employee, when he didnt try to fix the issue until i slept in a freezing room for two nights because of the window. He called me some profane words that Expedia won’t let me post to a cleaning member. The manager did not reply to my window complaint and only replied to my email about his employee cursing about me. Apparently the oqnees soand the ont bother to check the room beforehand and a window is stuck and a customer asks for help, the customer is "a real f'ing a-hole". It actually was the one part of my 15 day trip that ruined the last 4 days. There was a bathroom in the lobby i was informed was just for me because they had all booked up on the rooms with bathrooms and told me when I arrived i had to use a bathroom in the lobby but others had clearly gone into it although it was "only for you". On expedia the room is labeled as soundproof. It was not at all, every car and person that came in the lobby i could hear. And i could hear anius, i believe his name was, cursing about me for asking about the window. I was in room 1 b i reccomend you dont come here specifically because of the employee being so rude. Fautis was the only one who seemed to care about the customer.

Convenient location
This place was exactly what we were looking for with a grocery store nearby and a bus stop directly in front. It was clean and comfortable and was exactly as described. The lack of AC was the only issue. Although the window was sufficient to let in cool air, it faces a very busy street which made for very early wake ups. Would stay here again.
