I always like staying here. The room prices are good, the area is quiet and the staff are friendly. However, the hotel is falling apart in places with maintenance badly needed in the rooms.

Not super clean but comfortable w/ yummy breakfast
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean, but the room was not vacuumed and the smell of mould was really strong. The great breakfast saved it all because of the friendly staff, the presentation of the breakfast food and the overall quality.

A good stay
Nice room, excellent value for money, clean, modern, good size, tea/coffee/biscuits/fruit in room. Was a little cold that day and raidiator in room wasnt working but wasn't too cold to necessitate me asking reception. Breakfast was amazing. Generally a very good stay.

The shower was cold and the staff did nothing to help?
Room was cold and In a three days stay there was no cleaning og change og towels..
Breakfast was okay, but anyway maybe the worse hotel-experiance I have had In almost 50 years.

Just a old hotel.
Serice is not good at all, took my card details for any damage in room, it never happened before, small box room with single bed and took £58 and that too is in bad condition. And the worse thing is said parking available when booking but when i arrived i have to park in the street. You have to book for the breakfast timing first.
So bad experience, I wont recommend this to anyone
