A reasonably priced room which was clean & comfortable. However you are staying next to a not so desirable hotel, so expect some noise.

we stayed 3 nights & I must say that the bed & pillows were verrrrrrrrrrrrry comfortable & clean as was the rest of the room & ensuite. The staff were extremely friendly but it was a little noisy occasionly as it is near a train line. This in itself didn't bother us & we would stay there again if needed. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to stay in a clean environment at a budget price. meals were available at the hotel at reasonable prices but we didn't use this service.

Comfortable room but too noisy

Although quite small, the room was renovated and comfortable. The bathroom however was not finished and the toilet water ran continuously. The appliances were adequate.

Feedback

For winter there was only a sheet and light blanket on bed. No heating in room. Very noisy from bar goers and some trucks pulling up in middle of the night. Lights outside meant little sleep also, curtains did not cover whole window to block out street light.

Definitely not what the photos show

This hotel was nothing like the pictures. Upon arrival we had no idea where to check in and were finally served at the bar and told to see the manager who was behind the second door right down the back of the bistro room behind what looked like a dead door. We knocked on the door and the manager asked if we had a booking. I told him my name and he said oh yes you're in room 5 but then asked if I had confirmation of the booking.... i tried getting it up on my phone whilst he stood right next to me looking at my phone the whole time which I think is quite rude. There was no service in the area so I couldn't get the email up. He ended up saying oh well I guess I'll believe you. Upon entering the room it was incredibly small with only the absolute bare minimum i.e. a bed shower toilet very very small tv and bar fridge. There were no extra blankets and only two pillows. The bed was suprisingly very comfortable though. There was also no phone coverage. While the hotel wasn't horrible it definitely wasn't what was described on the website and was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Abgewracktes Anhängsel neben einer Bar

Schon das Check-in war schwierig, weil ein Zuständigerin einer weitläufigen Bar gefunden werden musste. Die Kleinen Zimmer sind von einer schmutzigen Zugangsstrasse begehbar. Zumindest die Zimmerreinigung scheint sich noch am meisten Mühe zu geben. Allerdings sind bei etwas genauerem Hinsehen zahlreiche Staub- und Schmutzecken zu erkennen. Der Teppichboden hat gleich im Eingang einen unappetitlichen Fleck. Am Morgen um 5.30 Uhr wurde man geweckt durch eine halbstündige Wasserschlacht direkt vor dem Fenster. Der Manager habe angeordnet, den Hof zu"reinigen". Empfehlung: Sofort schließen.

Basic pub and older rooms but for my purposes OK

Older rooms, basic facilities but for what I wanted was adequate. Meals at the pub were good. Represents value for money compared to other motels My stay was for the V8 racing so not a lot of time spent in the room Staff were friendly and service was great. Convenient to have the facilities of the pub right outside the room.
