Stayed 1 night

The rooms were very dirty, the Wi-Fi access code was not indicated within the rooms, the general condition of the rooms were not great for what we have paid. I have stayed in many hotels around the country at a similar price but these have been far better for value and overall condition. When leaving one of the rooms this morning after a night of rain, jumping across a major puddle was not fun!! The room that I should have been given was occupied by someone else, the room that I had been given had a small roof light as the only natural light. This acted a as a loud drum during the heavy rain during the night and woke me many times.

I wasn’t expecting a lot as it was about the cheapest room without being a hostel. However, it suited my needs and was private. It lacks the amenities of the bigger hotels, but the check in was easy, the staff were friendly, and it was a short distance to the Shambles. The topper was that they serve a fantastic breakfast at a reasonable price!

Great location Pub downstairs does food. Rooms are a little tired and the bathroom was freezing. There is a kettle but the plug is on the floor next to the bed. It is also impossible to fill the kettle directly from the sink. We used the cups to fill it. Onsite parking costs £10 which we weren’t aware about.
