The room and en-suite were clean. The bed was firm and comfortable and the sheets were clean.
The staff are first class and happy to help.
Only one personal complaint, the area outside the window is the smoking area and with it being hot, I had to keep the window open which meant the smell of tobacco and weed would fill the room and the loud conversations were annoying.
I am although happy to recommend the hotel.

Very nice friendly staff on Reception, Sahil and Mir. The hotel served its3purpose for5 hours to sleep
Staff were not very welcoming, almost dismissive but helpful in the end so that was good. Rooms are not as picturesque as shown or very clean but bedding was absolutely fine. Lacked towels, no bath mat for leaking shower tray but the water was hot! Plenty of toiletries etc. Could make a tea or coffee but no water, nothing in vending machine and nowhere around to buy anything so go prepared! You are in the middle of a heavy traffic area and no facilities. Beds / pillows are not comfortable unless you like it beyond firm and with the surrounding noise / from the roads etc. just forget getting any sleep. It’s fine for a pit stop but nothing more.
Certainly not the ritz but the staff couldnt do enough to make our stay comfortable. Beds were comfy, rooms warm. Water pressure a bit low in the shower but it was clean and close enough to city centre. You get what you pay for and to put our heads down at night and get showered it was a perfect room for us.

Great location to travel around local areas. Staff were so friendly and accomodating to your stay. You just had to ask and they were more than helpful. Its a converted care home with signs of wear and tear. Some rooms would challenge people. But to be fair staff relocated us on this visit. The breakfast is excellent value if booked in advance and is plentiful. For the price its offered at a reasonable rate. Well worth a visit.
I believe in you get what you pay for. For the price we paid, we were very happy with the room. 24/7 reception service was also excellent. A bit further out from main Quayside- a 25 minute walk.
The staff were all friendly and helpful and there are no complaints there!
The surrounding area wasn’t the best and there was nowhere close to go for food etc.
The hotel is being redecorated which is great, however the room we stayed was either still in the process or had just been finished as there were broken and stained ceiling tiles, the shower and bathroom floor were not clean and paint spills were very noticeable.
The layout made it seem like everything was just shoved in and the radiator covered by a desk.
We kept seeing what appeared to be blue flashing lights similar to emergency vehicles throughout the night which alongside the local area didn’t help us in feeling safe. We did discover that the blue lights were security lights.
The access to the disabled parking space was blocked by a skip and work vans were taking up space making parking difficult
The cost was low budget but you can still have high standards

Quiet, safe place to stay
Hotel is quiet, clean and safe. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There are few mod cons and shared bathrooms etc and no dining facilities. As long as you know what you're getting in advance its fine.
Honesty after we left things in the room. It was also very clean and tidy.

Bed bugs made us not stay
Came over to stay the night for GNR in the family room, as we were 5 people.
* Bathroom stank, we even bought our own air freshener.
* the bathroom didn't have a lock
* At least one of the blankets was not clean with marks
* nit pick: the bathroom did need some modernisation
* to top it of there were loads of bed bugs, which resulted us in leaving the hotel and drop my family back home in a 2 hr drive, and ended not staying
We're not fussy people but the bed bugs was the key issue that made us leave. But I listed all the issues we faced, so that if can help others.
It was suggested that the manager would call, but nothing
Nevertheless the staff were very good, and cooperative
Room was very clean and tidy, all the appliances worked fine the only issue i had was the shower had low pressure but it work fine just wish it had more pressure

Shower water pressure was not good at all, and some of the cleaning was poor. However the bed was very comfy and we slept well
Shared bathroom had broken toilet seat, blocked shower drain and mouldy wall. Bedroom tv missing, overheated even with rad off. Paper thin walls. Noisy pipes. Sleepless night. Staff were polite.
Budget level hotel. Bit disappointed that Google rate at 3*, but would be surprised with 2 stars. Friendly staff and it's clean but all looks tired and worn & in desperate need of major make over.
Painted over damp around window, bottom of bathroom door frame rotting, rust on shower pipe work. Also our room was right alongside main road so quite a bit of noise.
