Not as pictured

Pros: The staff were lovely. Cons: The cleaner was still doing the rooms at check in time. When we got into our room it was still dirty. Pictures shown don't look like the room. Bed was broken underneath so ended up with a sore back.

Bad hygiene and comfort, would recommend it

Pros: The location and the fact they had a waterboiler in the room Cons: the hygiene was not good, the bed was very old and the shared bathroom was not daily cleaned. There was also a very strong bad smell in the hallway like they never open a window
