Lovely old building but sadly run down, 1980s decor and facilities and no food service of any kind. But bed was comfortable and TV worked well. Price was very low though so represents good value for money for a basic overnight stay.

Contacted the property arranged a late check in. Paid for the room directly with the hotel. Hotel gave me instructions how to enter the property. I arrived 10pm, hotel had not respected what was agreed. I could not enter hotel, and it was impossible to contact anyone. Basically I have paid and received nothing in return.

Dark, dingy, depressing, dangerous.
Oh dear. Read the reviews, thought, surely its fine for one night. Avoid, honestly, it wont be worth half of what you are paying. So many red flags on this place but the biggest for me...when we checked it in was daytime, got the key and headed to the room which took you through a dark reception room and through unlit corridors, I just thought they are saving money as daytime....no....if you get back after the pub closes, all the lights are off. I mean all of them. As in you are walking though the corridors of this very old hotel in PITCH black. The room is extremely dated. I'd guess from the 70's-80's, and not in a cute kitch way. In a time when people are worried about beg bugs in Paris, I was more worried about the plague still infesting what honestly looked like could be original 15th century carpets. Last thing...honestly there are so many things but theres only so many characters. The back door to the hotel (which was on our floor), was just open all night, it doesnt even look like it has a functioning lock anymore.

I was booked in for 2 nights but didn't return for the 2nd night. Where do I start? I literally had to use the torch on my phone to find the room and dodge beams on the way. Parking was scarce and I had to park on double yellows for the night. Exit in the morning was through the fire escape which was wide open all night. No shower in my room but didn't dare look at the shared shower given the run down state of the whole place. Will be looking for a refund.
