If you get a room in such a good location for such a cheap price, you can’t expect much. What you can expect, however, is a hotel that takes pride in what little it does
I booked an ensuite room for two nights in April for about £100, so I was expecting a basic bed and ensuite in a probably cramped but serviceable room. What I got was that but as a hotbox. The room was sweltering, and the security feature on the window prevented it from being opened beyond a couple of centimetres. I asked the receptionist if they at least had a pedestal fan I could use to help with airflow. They didn’t have one. I asked if they had a different room. He was able to move me to another room that was also quite warm, but at least had a fully opening window. So he was helpful with that. But overall, the rooms felt like the owners don’t take any pride in the place - no forethought to customers’ comfort if their rooms are hot. I would also say the place was clean enough (the towels and linens did not smell, the bathroom was fine), I also didn’t place my belongings on the beds or floors in fear of potential bedbugs. I don’t believe there were bedbugs, but that was the feeling the place gives off.
I was also awoken at 3am on Sunday morning by the building’s fire alarm. Just as I was about to evacuate, the alarm stopped. There was no announcement to say that it was a false alarm or what had happened.
Overall, not good other than it is cheap and it’s in a good location.
