The staff here were so lovely that I almost don’t want to comment on the property- the room was filthy, there actually wasn’t someone on the desk the whole time, the photos on here are not of the inside of the property, there’s no hot water… but the bed was clean, it was actually really quiet and the staff I did see were really helpful… would have been brilliant for one night, was ok for two nights- really would have been impossible beyond that

Absolutely shocking on a whole different level. Torn carpets, stains on the wall, water didn’t run in the makeshift shower, no remote for the tv. I can only assume it was like Josef Fritzels basement. Horrendous place to rest. Wouldn’t go back if it was free.

Unfinished space that needed redecorating and disgusting sink. Will not stay again, especially as the walls are paper thin and I could her the man in the room next door very loudly in the morning, ranting.

The staff working at the desk were very nice, and the central location is perfect. But the hotel was in a state of disrepair. There was a problem with the toilet, where it made a very loud noise for about 10 mins after being flushed. The shower appeared to be broken and there was a piece of cardboard hammered into the wall (assumedly to cover a hole).

Not fit for human habitation. Room was down a flight of disgusting dirty stairs in a basement. Room was filthy! Damaged walls, carpet in an appalling state, damp, smelly and honestly unsafe. I’ve seen reviews before where I’ve thought people just need to adjust their expectations of a cheap hotel but honestly this was the worst room I’ve ever seen. Shame on you Expedia for advertising this hotel on your platform

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First room had a nauseating smell of either cheese/vinegar with stained bedding and carpets. We immediately requested a new room. However, the new room had a broken radiator (stuck on full power) and a window that would barely open. Whilst the second room wasn't pungent, it was far from comfortable or clean. Stained carpet, yellow mattress, dried vomit on outside of toilet etc. Entire place could do with a bit of TLC and servicing. Finally - the smoke alarm went off at 3am. Cannot fault the receptionist, who very quickly sorted our room swap. An acceptable place to stay if all you need is a bed and running water...

DO NOT BOOK HERE- There was black mould EVERYWHERE I couldn’t stop dry heaving. The hotel didn’t care and Expedia also didn’t care to do anything about it. I had to leave and they both refused to refund even tho this hotel is a literal health hazard.
