Great value for money, comfortable and clean.

Rooms as advertised, bed was clean and comfortable and sharing the bathroom was no problem. Wife particularly noted that the shower was nice and hot and the spray was wide and comforting. Noise levels on a Saturday night were fine, no problem sleeping!

The shared bathrooms were really well done. Prefect location, and with a pub downstairs there is easy access to food and drinks.

The bar was great, with plenty of parking out front and at the back. Staff were friendly, the place was clean, and it wasn’t too noisy, especially for a pub. Best of all, I got my first drink free because I was staying there, which was a nice bonus.

Big value for money - and the room was exactly as advertised. Bed was comfortable, room was basic but larger than expected. Common bathroom/toilet area might be off putting to some, but I had no issues at all. Meals downstairs were excellent 👌 Would be happy to stay again for a weekend trip!

Basic room with common bathroom/toilet. Just enough if you have your own transport arrangements.

Too many complains than a pleasant stay

The door handle was broken and the door locks were not user friendly at all One of the lights was not working and there was no adequate lights in room The fire alarm in the alley was broken The door leading to parking was always left unlocked and this is a security threat for the guests Cobwebs inside the common bathroom MOST IMPORTANT : The room was above the sports bar and the sound form sports bar was very disturbing. I had to request the bar to turn off the TV volume so that I could sleep at night
