OK for a short stay
Shower didn't work properly and pillows very uncomfortable. The room was too hot and couldn't find any way to turn heat down. Breakfast was OK. It's very convenient for town centre and train station.

4/10 Fair

Basic, very basic.
This is a very basic hotel, which needs improvement all over. Very dated and workmanship is poor. Old bedside cabinet is still present as it is protruding from the wall. Clearly workman were lazy or money was saved. Chairs in room covered with biro. No ensuite facilites which is just strange in this day and age. Noisy hallway in the mornings.
