The area seemed relatively rough for a hotel to be centered within, not really any choices for food, mostly take away, no cafes near by except a bagel place, bathroom had an odd smell, and the room was cramped for the price. Tv remote button for cycling through was dodgey, bed lights didn’t work, bed was alright and the staff were friendly but I never really saw anyone no one was really about I read it had a bar and restaurant but I could only find rooms.

Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop. Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard

no real reception, really steep stairs & room at top of three flights - no lift, not in a nice area of town and entrance to 'hotel' exposed, felt quite vulnerable. not for solo travellers

The hotel was accessible from a door on the street next to a Kebab shop! The experience was shocking as reviews seemed to be quite good. Basic tiny room which was clean but very downmarket!

I booked this hotel as the description said a few minute walk from the theatre, and also showed the pin on the map being right next to it. Once I’d booked and put the address into maps it was an 11 minute walk which wasn’t too much of an issue but I was annoyed as the location was the reason I chose it. I then messaged the hotel through the app to check I had the right address with no reply. I’d booked the hotel as 1 guest as I was the only person staying that night. Myself and my uncle arrived as he was helping me with luggage. He was hoping to come into the room to just get changed before we headed out… not allowed! We were left with no option but to pay an extra £10 to ‘upgrade’ the room to allow him to do so. The room itself was cold and smelt unpleasant. The bathroom was covered in mould. I didn’t inspect the cleanliness thoroughly as I was in a rush to get ready but did notice a few hairs on the bed and the TV remote was filthy. The bed was 2 singles pushed together and was awful - I felt every spring and had an awful nights sleep. Not helped by the paper thin vertical blinds letting the light in. I didn’t expect anything amazing due to the price but certainly wasn’t expecting this. Thankfully it was only for 1 night.

Lot of loud music till early in the morning as it is just beside a night club so you can't sleep. The area is a bit unsafe and the entrance is really not like a Hotel at all, it looks really dodgy. Room was nice but I would not stay there again.

Gelegen vlak bij het historische en commerciële centrum, maar toch in een al erg verloederde buurt. Hotel is erg recent herdaan, maar op een erg goedkope manier. Personeel was zeer vriendelijk.

Not sure why I was asked for Photo ID when checking in, as it's not yet compulsory to carry any in the UK!
