Disappointing
No heating in room, no TV signal so pointless TV in room, sign in room to say hotel in undergoing refurbishment and that management are aware of all issues. Seems to be coverall for general disappointing room. Bedside lamp in poor condition, shower takes 10mins for hot water to come through, no hooks for hanging towels/clothes up, lack of toilet paper.

Ideal accommodation for putting your head down
Perfectly adequate for my purposes. Room was pretty clean - particularly the bed linen and the bathroom were immaculate. Service from the staff was excellent - very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for budget accommodation this is ideal.

Just don’t go
Terrible place, other smoking pot in the halls stinks. Noise by others. Not as photos. Don’t waste your money. Stayed 1 night only. More than enough can’t say that this is a contractor hotel in that it is worse than that.
Looks like they may be trying to refurbish, but will need to go a long way.
Check in at another hotel.

The room hadn't been cleaned, excrement in toilet. Windows were painted shut. No staff there to check in, no tea or coffee in the room had to walk to Waverley inn to get room key.
After complaining, we were moved to the Waverley inn. The room there was acceptable! Dont book this hotel.

No info on key pick up from different hotel.
Pillowcase dirty.
Light in bathroom black!
Shower very poor as water was a trickle.
Bathroom smells of dampness.
No hand towels.
Fire alarm went off at 5.20am no staff on site. I went to other hotel to inform them.
Obvious H&S issue.
Alarm was SD in room 38.

Room in poor condition. Complete lack of building security. Door to room had clearly been kicked in by previous occupant. Room unfinished. Rubbish skylight blind. Electric shower with poor water pressure and ineffective controls. No breakfast to speak of, despite promise of ‘continental’.
Cheap as chips but price reflects quality of stay.
Would avoid if I were you!

Avoid at all costs!!!
Absolutely horrific!! Booked the Royal ended up in the Waverley Inn as we got there late?? The smell hit you when the door was opened and permeated through the place even into the tea in the room. Shower held together with black tape, mould on bathroom ceiling, curtain rail broke unable to shut curtains.
Left after one night without the breakfast and booked into another hotel for the rest of our trip!!
