To cold for no heating
Room was freezing as the heating wasn’t on they did give us a small electric heater which didn’t make any difference No towels or tea bags We couldn’t turn the tv over or volume down because every button on the remote we pressed just knocked the tv off The parking was not complimentary as stated it was £13 for 24 hours on the upside it was just across the road to the hotel The toilet was just across the hall and the view from our room was lovely

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Left waiting at bar to check in for 15 minutes. Rooms are through a door behind the bar, very narrow space and stairs are steep and narrow. There was no heating on upstairs where rooms were and it was end of november and really cold. I noticed the rooms had radiators but they were not working so had to ask for a plug in heater. Carpets threadbare and mattresses lumpy. Table lamps torn and furniture very old. Wood around windows rotting. The rooms showing on Hotels site must have been somewhere else, nothing like the photos. The room was cheap but should be cheaper for the quality. I've stayed in better Hostels.
