Basic affordable accomodation. A bit tired but everything worked - great shower, TV, tea & coffee, hairdryer. There's a table tennis room for guests too, but we were too tired to give it a go sadly. A 15 minute walk from town centre.

When I booked it was supposed to have a bath and shower but it only had a shower which was still okay, when I checked out in the morning the girl on reception said it might have been some sort of mix up but other than that the room was okay...

I booked this place just for the bed. My room was extremely clean, although the property itself was quite run-down. It’s about a 30-minute walk from the station, which was inconvenient for me due to my schedule and travels. That said, for the price I paid, I’m grateful for my 3-night stay. I wasn’t expecting five-star facilities, so thank you.

The hotel is cheap and affordable could do with some basic maintenance and some basics of the cleaning are to be questioned but for the price it was more than adequate.
