Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
False advertising. Rude staff. Beds with one small blanket in winter. Old building and freezing cold-no insulation. Bathroom tap didn't turn on. Booked for 3 nights, thinking it had a private bathroom as advertised. Upon check in found out no room had private bathroom. All shared. Refused to refund me any money. Even after showing them the advertisement online. Didn't stay and booked elsewhere. Only parking available is pay and display down the road that is more expensive than the room itself.

Disliked: Staff & service
Not once did we see the staff. We arrived at 3pm and had to check in via the phone at the door. Property is quite dated but useable. Kitchen is tiny. Parking is street parking and you have to move your vechicle every 2hrs between 10am-6pm. If you want a basic room at a good location then this is it but don't expect much more

Quiet location, excellent wifi signal, clean rooms. The on-site manager Steve went out of his way to help me when I needed to contact someone regarding car trouble. Free parking means free 2hr street parking. After 6pm it's free until 10 am the next day.

Run down and no good
This place is in a bad state. One of the worst places we have stayed and we have travelled to many places around the world. The cleanliness is atrocious - for one example the same "floor towels" in the showers were scrunched up and soaking for the whole 3 days that we were there (I DARE you to step on it). One previous review mentioned something about the blankets smelling like they hadn't been cleaned for a long time - we made the mistake to also smell them. I would advise against this (we used some blankets we had brought with us). There is no check in desk, so no-one there to greet you or to help out in any way. Only a phone in the corridor for you to speak with... someone. There is an "office", which was closed for most of the time that we were there. But the people that came out of there appeared to be cleaners/guests possibly staying rent free. Some people made a curry on the first night and left the kitchen in a complete state - dirty dishes and pots everywhere. And the kitchen wasn't adequately cleaned for our whole stay. Some of the windows are broken, and there are holes in various walls. The immediate area is empty, but it isn't too far from shops etc (but be prepared to walk at least 20 mins). The house itself is a nice old building, with a great garden. The sad thing is that with a bit of love, this could be a very nice place. But I feel it has been neglected for many years. Overall, do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.
