    The hotel is extremely rundown but I suppose you shouldn’t expect too much for the price. The mattress is like a block of concrete.

    The full English breakfast included is great, we had not expected that.

    The noise from other guests in the hotel and the leak in the bathroom from the sink. I tried to tell the staff on check out but couldn't find anyone.

    It was close to the Metro Interchange. The breakfast was also lovely

    I was tricked. I booked a room with an ensuite. When I arrived I was given a room with a shared bathroom, and Booking.com was blamed. Not happy. Will not book again

    The bathroom door didn’t lock, window didn’t close, internet did not work, so tv didn’t work, even though the price was steep. Breakfast was rediculous, no variety, very basic

    The hotel was really run down, guy at desk was not very friendly

    The room was ok but didn’t look like the pictures on the website but it was ok for one night but definitely not luxury it was a bit dingy, I don’t think it was worth £115 we paid. The other think that let it down was there were a few dodgy looking people hanging around reception when we got there, I’m glad I didn’t take my daughter as she would have been petrified.

    The staff here were really friendly the beds were really comfy and clean and the breakfast was good. We stayed here as we had a night out at the utilita arena so was perfect location for that.

    - needs a deep clean, dirty carpets and bad smells in a few places - could do with more towels, a bath mat and some decent toiletries - poor quality/broken/old fixtures and fittings - think was some sort of care home before and seems like still being used as shelter/temporary accommodation for local residents

    Good location and reasonable price

    Corridors were a bit untidy and unclean. Not a good smell from the communal bathrooms (luckily my room was en suite)

    A good solid English breakfast! Generous portion size. Friendly kitchen staff.

    Hotel is in need of a lot of care and attention and badly needs redecorating. Bed was uncomfortable as were the pillows, the bathroom smelled really damp and was very uninviting, horrendous stains on the ceilings and wall in the bathroom, there is a hole in the ceiling of the bedroom (room 10), I went to plug my phone charger in to the wall next to the bed and the fascia of the socket fell off. It all felt a little grubby and uncared for.

    Breakfast was quite good. Great number of plug points in the room. Location was good and car park wasn’t expensive or busy. Bedding was clean. Staff were mostly very friendly.
