The thing about this hotel is that check in and check out is done by email, and picking up a code to get your own key. There is no reception and so no service as such. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, just took some getting used to. I would have appreciated slightly larger cups in the room and a coffee sachet as well as tea.

Overall very good

The room was clean and comfortable but a bit on the small side but as I was was staying on my own and only for one night I was very happy with the room. The breakfast was well cooked and tasted very nice.

Good

The mini hotel was small but clean and reasonably comfortable. It has everything you’d want from a B&B. The breakfast is as good as it usually is. A breakfast menu would be useful as the mini hotel does not have any visible staff.

Compact room with everything that you need for a solo trip. Parking on a busy road. Breakfast in the morning was more than adequate and set me up to the day.

Close to UOB, Small rooms in a house. Narrow stairs to climb 2 floors with luggage. No Hotel Board, no attendant, was struggling to locate the hotel and check in. No cleaning stayed there for three days. No garbage pickup. No room tea/coffee fill up. Just basic stay.

We had the top room it was nice and clean as it was warm we had to open the roof windows and the traffic noise was quite bad till late on. Could have had a fan in the room to combat this. The outside of the property lets it down it’s hard to locate as no sign. The rest of the terraces look very run down and not very inviting. The room itself was small but adequate for what we needed. If you want a cheap place to sleep for the night then you couldn’t go wrong here.

Cheap and not very cheerful

Probably can’t complain too much given the price, but the bed was quite uncomfortable (cheap mattress with springs sticking into your back), the room was hot and bright and was kept up late into the night by people coming and going and talking loudly in the hallway (I was in room 1 by the front door). So not the best night’s sleep. Clean though and access was easy.

Student house basically

Didn't receive a cofnirmation email with check in detials, had to call twice to get the lock box code while i was waiting outside. It was basically a student house HMO with the word 'hotel' slapped on it, it's fine for a night or 2 near the unniversity but don't expect much. Breakfast was fine cosndiering it was free but not the best quality.

Does what it says on the can. A great option for a budget friendly stay. I flew in from Canada to visit my sick brother at the Queen Elizabeth hospital so given that expense I was looking for a reasonably priced option near by. The rooms are small and clean and the price includes breakfast and dinner. It’s situated a 5 minute walk from a retail park so great for picking up any last minute supplies. Unusually it’s actually a terraced house with a Dental Surgery next door being the best landmark. I was expecting a small apartment building so walked past it on my first try. It’s a good serviceable option.

Brutally Honest: Avoid at all costs

My stay was an absolute nightmare. The bed was beyond awful—cheap Amazon frames that creaked loudly with every tiny movement and a mattress so thin and worn that I could feel every single spring stabbing into my back. It felt like sleeping on a pile of scrap metal. The so-called “free buffet breakfast” was a complete insult: a sad bowl with a few slices of bread, a few pale, shrivelled sausages that looked barely cooked, and a bowl of baked beans that were lukewarm at best. Just the bare minimum of effort. And let’s not forget the “juice,” which was just watery squash that tasted like disappointment. They provided exactly two teabags no matter how long you stayed, and the teacups were practically shot glasses, forcing me to buy my own mug just to have a decent cup of tea. There was no Wi-Fi, despite it being advertised, and every attempt to contact the hotel was completely ignored. No matter how many times I reached out through Hotels.com or direct messages, I got nothing but silence. Same goes for “washing facilities” none to be seen. The walls were so thin you could hear everything—other guests stomping around, slamming doors, talking loudly at all hours with no regard for anyone else. This wasn’t a hotel, it was a glorified, poorly managed HMO with a price tag that made the experience even more insulting. Every corner was cut, every detail neglected. It was an absolute waste of money. Avoid this place like the plague.

Parking on road if you are lucky to get a space. Dinner area is never open. If could feel every spring in the bed and it was pressed down in the middle, so really old and worn. There was a crack head in the n xx room that wouldn’t shut up and kept me awake most nights either talking or slamming doors at 1:30 in the morning. Avoid if possible
