Disturbed sleep
With an old building it comes with squeaky floor boards. Could hear footsteps from the room above me. Which seemed to go on throughout the night.

Not great
Hotel Inspector would’ve had a field day with this one. Weird little staircase to rooms (unsuitable if you have mobility issues) Dirty room with ill fitting carpet, dirty, stained bathroom, I especially regretted lifting up the toilet brush to use it. Windows don’t fit so it’s drafty and they didn’t lock - room leads to a fire escape so someone could have easily broken in from outside. Staff didn’t speak good English, but they did manage to convey that front door would be locked from 10pm and that I could use my room key to open it. I immediately knew that wasn’t going to work (I did try and fail at 9.50pm) so I opened my window and literally clambered back in, essentially breaking in to my own room. Classic!

A very basic and run-down hotel sorry. Felt like it was not really catering for hotel customers tbh - a very run down room.

Property is run down. Had one window pane missing covered by a sign that said "do not open window".
Carpet was stained.
Staff were ok. Location was ok.

wasn't sure if this building was abandoned or not when I arrived, soon realised it wasn't when I was rudely addressed by the hotel receptionist

Tired hotel
A very tired hotel. Room had a broken window, peeling paint and bar was out of draft beer and closed early. Fortunately room was clean if dated. Needs a big makeover.

Great place
I’ve stayed here for a few weeks with work and had very pleasant stay. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. The rooms are large and the location is perfect with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

This is a great old place and is obviously tired in places but if you want a good nights sleep then don’t choose a hotel on the main square Lots of noise and light
No breakfast service dispute being on the booking ?? Only informed upon arrival

Disappointing
Booked for the lads for working away. They were disappointed with the cleanliness. Pubes in the bedding and in the bathroom. They have asked me not to book this one ever again.
