It was ok for the price we paid but the hotel can improve by making subtle changes like providing more pillows because when we asked for pillows they had none.Also more toilet paper needs to be provided.Parking is an issue too.

The room was good. The bed was very uncomfortable though and there was dust and bugs on the headboard. I booked this for the free parking but for 30 rooms they only have 3 parking spaces And a possibility of another 5 on the opposite of the road. Of course all spaces were taken so I couldn't park there. Staff were very helpful.

I unfortunately spent 3 years living in temporary accommodation and this hotel clearly houses people in need of temp housing. Room was meant to be superior and it was far from that! Had a random fridge in my room that was too big to fit anywhere! Noisy all night with banging doors and trains. They continuously take preauthorisations for rooms and security deposits that can take up to 5 days to return. States there is parking ?? Yes 3 spaces that were continuously filled not bad as there are 20 rooms. Avoid Avoid avoid

Disliked: Amenities
This place had very few accommodations. Pillows were basically nonexistent. The Wi-Fi never worked service for a cell phone did not work once you were in your room meaning you needed the Wi-Fi, which did not work. Also, upon checking in the front desk did not let me use my card And made me walk to an ATM to get an exchange rate and turn in cash. Checking out they tried to keep the cash and told me it would go back on my card that they did not let me use.

Rather odd

I was surprised to be asked for a £100 deposit and then asked to walk up the road to another hotel. In that hotel, in the room I was allocated, there was no hot water and so I to move rooms. All at 11pm.

We arrived at reception a little early but were seen promptly. Once paid and deposit taken we were handed keys and told our room was outside round the corner. This wasn't clear when we booked. We were given directions to what looked like converted houses and our room was on the 2nd floor which wasn't what we needed after a long trip. We made our way up to the room. The room itself was what you would expect for the price. The bed itself was comfy and bedding clean but it was immediately obvious the pillows were not big enough. They were extremely thin and lumpy. You could tell where previous guests had folded them over to try and get a decent night's sleep. We asked for some more on the Friday we arrived but it took 3 days and asking for a manager before we got some on the last night.

My overall rating is Poor service/system! And I am not happy about the 100pd deposit policy. I didn’t read that article anywhere during my bookings; what is not ok for me are: 1. How surprised I was when I was told at the check-in that I need to pay the deposit (what will have happened if I didn’t have that in my account). 2. The deposit was then taken from my account “immediately”, why can’t it be returned also “immediately” and it has to take some days? That is a silly system. This is what may not make me want to be in a place like that again. 3. The staff don’t really have time to talk/explain things well to customers according to my observation. I need my 100p, you took it; I should not be the one to chase my bank to refund

The room i was given is definitely a hazard during hot weather. One could die of heat stroke in that room! I don't care what you do, you cannot get air in that room without an AC! The fan provided was absolutely useless! I couldn't sleep at all throughout the night due to the horrendous heat. Had to drown myself in a cold shower twice just to cool down and even that wasn't enough! I gave up and started packing to leave at 4am! It was that terrible! The person next door to me seemed to be having a mental breakdown of some sort, he slammed his door shut throughout the night and you could smell his cannabis in the room and hallway as he smoked! The room itself was decent but the overall experience was awful. I will only stay here for the location and easy access to everywhere but definitely NOT during summer!
