Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's central location, making it convenient for shopping, restaurants, and public transport. Many also highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. However, cleanliness is a recurring concern, with several guests reporting dirty rooms, stained linens, and outdated furniture. The value for price is seen as fair by some, but the required £100 deposit is a common source of frustration. Breakfast receives mixed feedback, with some appreciating it and others experiencing issues with booking or options. Overall, the hotel is seen as basic but functional, with standout positives in location and service.
