Very, very poor customer service
Don't trust the information supplied when booking this property. THEY DO NOT CONTACT YOU 24 HOURS BEFORE TO PROVIDE CHECK IN INFORMATION. I chased them by phone less than an hour prior to check in advising I was arriving shortly advising they hadn't sent check in information. They didn't return my call. I then text them stating I hadn't received check in information. I received a curt reply with no apology stating they don't supply information prior to check in and that was the fault of the booking agent. No apology for this was supplied despite this being an issue between the property and Hotels.com. They actually had the audacity to advise me to take this up with Hotels.com rather than dealing with this themselves and further inconveniencing other customers. The walls are paper thin and when someone has a shower or flushes the toilet in their respective rooms it sounds like you are in there with them. The breakfast was decent but limited. For a very, very basic stay with absolutely zero customer service this accommodation is nothing more than okay, if you expect decent customer service and politeness don't stay here.

This is the first and only time I have left a "hotel" without staying in a non-refundable. It did not feel safe here. It's not a hotel, but an old house on a busy road. No soundproofing and floorboards creaking loudly above me. Other guests kept leaving front door unlocked so anyone could get in and there are no staff or reception. I sent a message with a general question to the the hotel and never heard back. My expedia confirmation said I would receive my check in instructions 24 ahead... had a text message less than 1 hour ahead. Other guests kept asking me how to get in, was confusing. There was not one bit of signage to even say it was a hotel! I was so confused I walked past it twice! Once I got to my room in the clustraphobic house, it was filthy, disgraceful. The bed was messy all the covers kicked off with an a pizza box, food and old crumbs and dirt all over the sheets and the bed had OLD DIRTY TOE NAILS ACROSS THE BEDSHEETS. Room filled with rubbish and old takeaway, dirty and unclean. I have never seen anything like it. Kept trying numbers until I got hold of them, by this point I was really upset. They said they gave me the wrong room... and then gave me the wrong code for the next room! Luckily I got them to stay on the phone with me until was in new room. This was clean, but as I said it was noisy, no soundproofing, doors are heavy and slam and unlocked front door and no staff made me feel unsafe. It was on a busy main raod. I got the hell outta there!

We had the top room it was nice and clean as it was warm we had to open the roof windows and the traffic noise was quite bad till late on. Could have had a fan in the room to combat this. The outside of the property lets it down it’s hard to locate as no sign. The rest of the terraces look very run down and not very inviting. The room itself was small but adequate for what we needed. If you want a cheap place to sleep for the night then you couldn’t go wrong here.

I tried messaging the property for check in information and did not get a response via Expedia. The only option was to call the property and it was difficult for me as I only have a data eSIM and had to rely on my friends to call on my behalf. It took ages for someone to pick up and it has been a stressful and frustrating process. Room was small but decent for the price. Breakfast was supposed to be included but the door to breakfast room was locked even though it said “open from 8-9am”. No code was provided for unlocking the door to breakfast and nobody was around to provide any assistance. Will not recommend this to anyone

Cheap and not very cheerful
Probably can’t complain too much given the price, but the bed was quite uncomfortable (cheap mattress with springs sticking into your back), the room was hot and bright and was kept up late into the night by people coming and going and talking loudly in the hallway (I was in room 1 by the front door). So not the best night’s sleep. Clean though and access was easy.

Student house basically
Didn't receive a cofnirmation email with check in detials, had to call twice to get the lock box code while i was waiting outside. It was basically a student house HMO with the word 'hotel' slapped on it, it's fine for a night or 2 near the unniversity but don't expect much. Breakfast was fine cosndiering it was free but not the best quality.

Compact room with everything that you need for a solo trip. Parking on a busy road. Breakfast in the morning was more than adequate and set me up to the day.

The room was clean and comfortable but a bit on the small side but as I was was staying on my own and only for one night I was very happy with the room. The breakfast was well cooked and tasted very nice.

The mini hotel was small but clean and reasonably comfortable. It has everything you’d want from a B&B. The breakfast is as good as it usually is. A breakfast menu would be useful as the mini hotel does not have any visible staff.

Parking on road if you are lucky to get a space. Dinner area is never open. If could feel every spring in the bed and it was pressed down in the middle, so really old and worn. There was a crack head in the n xx room that wouldn’t shut up and kept me awake most nights either talking or slamming doors at 1:30 in the morning. Avoid if possible

Does what it says on the can. A great option for a budget friendly stay. I flew in from Canada to visit my sick brother at the Queen Elizabeth hospital so given that expense I was looking for a reasonably priced option near by. The rooms are small and clean and the price includes breakfast and dinner. It’s situated a 5 minute walk from a retail park so great for picking up any last minute supplies. Unusually it’s actually a terraced house with a Dental Surgery next door being the best landmark. I was expecting a small apartment building so walked past it on my first try. It’s a good serviceable option.
