Room was spotless, staff are friendly and approachable, I quite enjoyed the food from the grillroom.

Good for a one night when your flight gets cancelled. Kitchen area smelled bad. I call this on par with a motel 6. Breakfast was great and so was staff and Mr G who helped us with our bags.

Booked a superior room with two beds. Got a not very superior room with one bed only. Back to the reception to get a two bed room. Got it, but I wouldn’t call it superior. Maintenance is with no doubt needed at this establishment.
Very friendly staff. Breakfast included and is of good standards.

Original room was right next to the lift, it sounded like a train all night. Got moved eventually (after a lot of back and forth).
You have to be aware of the location and the people surrounding it, very intimidating during the day, and only taxi at the night (which don't drop you off right at the door you have to walk up the street as well because of the parked cars and the hotel blocking the entrance with cones).

The rooms are very basic, and feel tired and a bit grubby.
Check in staff were ok, although it took an hour to get some towels and an iron (that was broken) sent to my room.
Inflexible at check out, couldn’t accommodate a one hour extension.

I got multiple complains from the person that I booked the room for, who suppose to enjoy the stay. The complain basically revolved on the smell in the room, from the carpet, and in the fridge. We perhaps unlucky to get an old room! But the hotel is still my favourite because of the service and the location.
