Cheap and Cheerful
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and we will definitely be back. Such a good price and so convenient with the location and the parking.
First up, the photo of this property is entirely inaccurate. It isn’t merely that the photo is of the property a while ago - it is a photo of a different house altogether. See photos for the actual property. Rubbish piled up in a corner outside as well.
The entire building smelled vaguely like cigarette smoke. It is in a fairly advanced state of neglect. We were offered a choice of two bedrooms, and the one we rejected was tiny, with peeling laminate on the floors. Ours has been documented elsewhere in these reviews (smoke alarm thankfully now in working order apparently) and while linen appeared clean and the bed was in reasonable condition, cleanliness did not seem to be a high priority with dusty corners in the bedroom. The radiator dial was also not working, and the heating was on at full blast with no way to adjust.
The bathroom was completely disgusting. Black mould in the shower and ceiling, covering the grouting. The entire bathroom and shower cubicle were tiny. Dirt and grime were visible everywhere. I could not bring myself to use the shower.
The only positives are the location - just by a bus stop - but there is no soundproofing so not only do you have the full traffic noise but also hear every sound and conversation from fellow residents / inmates as well…
Please take a look at the photos from our stay before booking here.
It was just very awkward to check in and unclear where to park. The worst part was the shower drain was completely clogged and because there was no front desk we were unable to get it fixed. We all needed showers because it was so hot.
The photos don’t match and some of the rooms were not in good condition. Communication was not the best. Unfortunately I don’t recommend it and I would not stay here again.

Basic- hard mattresses, see through curtains so didn’t get a great nights sleep
Exceptionally clean. Plenty of hot water. Has parking and the #3 bus stops outside. It’s hard to find family rooms and this was the best we had wth our 2 teenagers.

Nice, clean room, kind service, good public transport to the city centre.
Just the bathroom: the water from the shower fled over and the doorhandle broke off.
Would score a negative if possible. Seemed like an illegal room, no proper door lock or windows. Was dirty, and sheets were thread bare. Better to pitch a tent in the park, and burn your money to stay warm. Will submit for refund when home.

Ok for a night or two
Hotel about 15 mins walk from Botanical gardens. Family house that has been converted into rooms. Room 12, X2 single beds at the back in a conservatory, tiny window in room and bathroom. Very little sound proofing in room or from above. Ok for a night or two, but no more.
