Room and linen were clean. Building overall is old and rooms basic with aged furniture in basic repair. Sink was so small it was barely usable shower was ok just. Most annoying was the mascerrating toilets in the building which made a terrible racket every time flushed so from 0600 when people started getting up all you can hear is mechanical grinding. Checkin was prompt and friendly Use this location for a few nights if you are going you be out late and up early, needing a clean bed after a late night. It's a cost effective solution just off the high street.

Greyfriars is fantastically located but the property is quite tired. The shower was hand held over a bath. The “parking” is a garage a quarter of a mile away and quite expensive. However Sanjeewa was the nicest and most helpful person ever. Nothing too much trouble! 5 stars for him.

Stayed 2 nights here the location was excellent a short walk to shops and restaurants, room was small but clean needs some updating. The cold tap in en-suite was loose and the macerater toilet was very noisy. Sanjeewa was very kind and helpful he seemed to be the only staff there. The breakfast was basic but very nice.
