No hospitality - front door and room by code entry.

Not a pleasant stay. The building and rooms are accessed with codes sent to you, it's completely unmanned and if you try calling the associated number you're put through to a call centre outside of the UK. House rules are spelled out but guests simply ignore them as there are no reprocussions of being kicked out. Our neighbors were smoking and taking drugs in their room and we're in and out all night keeping us up. When I called for help, I was simply told they were checking out the next day and there's nothing else they can do. The next day there was a party upstairs - I didn't bother calling. The room itself was okay, it wasn't properly cleaned but it was fine. The breakfast is laughable so don't expect to be eating anything decent and burning myself on the exposed hot pipe in the crampt shower just topped the experience off. Stay anywhere else but here or their sister hotel "Tennyson"

Well positioned and well appointed. Only disappointment was this year a lack of basic kitchen utensils , bowls and spoons.

Good value for money. Clean and nicely decorated. Breakfast was basic but fine - we actually walked to the Wetherspoons just up the road. The hotel was nice and quiet and had a large kitchen, which we didn't need to use. En suite was good. We didn't have any of the issues mentioned by others - there was tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc in the room plus spares in the kitchen. Entry codes were sent well before arrival.

Decor to a reasonable standard. However:- No plug sockets by the bed. No tea bags. No shampoo, conditioner or hair dryer supplied. Summer quilt in cold weather. Heating off in the night so woke up in the early hours cold. Smokers in the building so smell coming in. And soiled chair and carpets. Extremely uncomfortable bed.

Room was cold as heating wasn’t on/working. The portable heater in the room didn’t provide adequate heat.

Quiet area. No staff onsite but no issue that needed to be addressed.

Nice neat room . Only downside was the trek to the bathroom. Great location and very comfortable. I would stay there again

Didn’t encounter any staff, but the room was spacious and quiet with a comfortable bed and clean shower room. The complementary breakfast snacks and pint of milk were a nice touch too. Would have preferred a later checkout time though as 10am is a bit tight.

Lovely Apt

Very nicely refurbished and clean, however access arrangements were sent too late, makingnit difficult having to call a premium rate number. The last step at the front door is si narrow it is dangerous having to lean back to put the code in whilst balancing on a very narrow step. You have to sit sideways on the en suite toilet and its almost impossible to avoid touching the radiator. I scolded my leg on it. The bed is so hard and narrow (for a double) we hardly slept. Breakfast was incredibly meagre, although with a low price, i do understand that

Overall OK. Bedding, towel's and pillows very old and bathroom bin full of dubious rubbish that didn't smell too good. Free breakfast was some sliced bread butter and jam so you could make toast in the communal kitchen which was very clean. Good to have a designated parking space. More suited to contractors than a couple staying.

Convenient and cheap accommodation walkable from city centre. Comfy bed and good shower. Parking free which is a bonus. Fairly quiet considering main road is nearby. Unusual that the place was unstaffed, everyone let themselves in with a code sent in advance. Breakfast (provided in room) was minimal and to be taken to kitchen to eat.

Great idea. Easy check in and budget price, clear instructions for the rooms and door locks. The negatives were light streaming in from the street lights through the slatted blinds which I couldn't block out. The storm didn't help with the swinging bashing sign outside! No problem, ear plugs are provided which was a nice touch. However, they did not block out the inconsiderate other guests shouting to each other at midnight. Bed not hugely comfy but again, it was a budget price. The continental breakfast was plentiful and the fridge was a good touch too. The kitchen was good with microwave, dishwasher etc.

we both agree it is a lovely hotel beautifully furnished and decorated, it has been a great pleasure staying here. The staff have been very pleasant and helpful.

Super comfort

On arriving at the hotel everything seemed good, it was easy to get in using the code I was sent, everything looked well presented and it was lovely and warm. As I walk through the hotel to my room the air became cooler obsessed in my room it was cold. I checked the radiator and it says cold so I pulled the bed out and found that the radiator was leaking. I rung the helpline and had a long confusing conversation with a man that seemed to struggle to understand what I meant, when the call ended I was unsure if anything would be done to fix the problem. After 15 minutes in a cold room I went out to get some tea, whilst I was out the man rung me back asking me to let workmen into the room, I told him it was not my responsibility I was paying for a service not to supervise workmen so I told him I was happy for them to go in the room without me. When I returned there was an electric heater in the room. But there is only 2 plug sockets available and a sign asking guests not to unplug the fridge so I had to choose between charging my phone, using the kettle or the heater, not exactly the service you'd expect in any hotel.
