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

Downmarket and disappointing
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!

Just about value for money
My room was small and turned towards a rather noisy road. Heated by a single air-con unit, which was not great during a blizzard - at least the room was less noisy...
Overall the property is clean and probably OK for the price.

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.

Very thin walls, no curtains on the windows just office blinds, the room was over the front door so very noisy and the mattress was particularly uncomfortable. But the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful
