An absolutely awful place. Arrived on a Saturday night for a stay with some friends. Damp, dark, mouldy, smelly - i could go on for ever. The state of the corridor down to my room was onimous enough - celiing tiles badly stained, a mixture of must and cigarette smoke hanging in the air punctuated by the increasingly loud thumping noise from the "fun-pub" attached to the pub - which of course was so much fun that it continued to blast out until almost 1am - despite the assurances of the man on reception that it finished at 12. I asked for another room - was told the hotel was full! - as if! There were no customers in the restaurant, or the bar or reception when we arrived so this was clearly not true. There were some rumblings that the other rooms were "unsafe" so perhaps that's the real reason. My room contained a shower which didn't work properly, a bedside lamp which didn't work at all - in fact was snapped and showing exposed wires, was all slightly mouldy and damp - but all this paled into insignificance against the noise of the thumping 70s disco music from underneath and the lap-dancing club opposite my room. So we went down to the bar - as there was clearly no sleep possible here. 6 drinks - all but one of which was completely undrinkable - eggy beer......nice! When I gave mine back, I was told that the cellarman hadn't been seen for a while by the slightly bewildered barman. Perhaps he is rotting away in the cellar and turning the beer sour. And so we went and sat in a pub / club opposite the hotel - a nice, clean and entirely plastic place. Still, it passed the time whilst we watched some drunks vomit outside the hotel and then eventually be helped inside. NIce. Eventually we went back hoping the noise would have stopped. Of course not. Once the disco finally stopped - some of the world's strangest people - who must have been in there, decided to come and continue the party in the room next to mine. After a very limited sleep we left. Do Not Go To This Place. There is no sign of any renovation taking place, the staff weren't helpful in the slightest and you'll feel like you are in some 1970's b-rated horror film. Rubbish!

The place is a total shambles and to be avoided at all costs. The staff are willing but useless. I arrived on a Sunday night to be led through to the attached pub which contained some particularly unsavoury characters doing their Karaoke. The rooms are tatty at best, dirty and the communal areas are scruffy and dirty. The room was overlooking the night club which had endl;ess endless police cars and late night/early morning noise. The final straw was when I sat in the breakfast area and after five minutes on my own waiting, the "waitress" emerged with a cigarette in her mouth and prompted to serve me with her coat still on. Slovenly. The breakfast was awful. Cheap and nasty. Avoid at all costs.

There can be no excuses for the shabby, dusty, smelly state of this hotel. The rooms and corridors are dark, damp and dirty, its noisy and the grumpy staff never meet your eye. Yet the rates are the same as somewhere acceptable. We were shocked by the dingy rundown shambles of the place and curtailed our stay to a single night. Stay away.

My family of 3 were booked in a Guest House which was horrible. The next day I walked the streets looking for another place and came across this Hotel. The young girl who assisted me was just superb. Friendly and trustful. We turned up early on the day we booked and the gentleman who assisted us that morning was more than helpful and allowed us to leave our 4 huge bags at the reception hotel until book in time. We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed our stay. Hot or cold breakfast was included with the price and even the staff there were extremely courteous especially a young man who took note of what you ate. I also must add the cleaner was great too. Always made sure we had clean towels and kept the room topped with facilities. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
