No guest WiFi, NOT a hotel!!!

The room was clean and comfortable. Shower and bathroom space is really tiny. The biggest issue for me was the fact that there was NO guest wifi. Also there is an awful smell when you walk up the stairs to the rooms. The check in experience was not very positive either. I had to look for someone to pay my bill. He did not know any details about my booking or my rate. He did not offer my a receipt when I paid.

Bad sleep

The room was extremely hot, needed the windows open to be able to sleep at all so it was also noisy from outside and the smell of cigarettes came in from staff taking breaks. There was a cleaning cupboard right outside the room constantly being opened and slammed. The shower was either scalding hot or freezing. The bed was very comfortable and the staff were nice. There was a fridge in the room which was good but it would tick on and off all night and make so much noise it would wake you up every time. Had a couple nights of bad sleep. Location was great.

No service whatsoever.

Reasonable price so didn’t expect a lot but there are no staff on site and the telephone contact number given has an answer machine and no one called back. The shower will not come on, the chef came up from the kitchen but could not get it to work either. Be wary if you book to stay here !

Great little place, good location

Lovely place, would definitely come back. Very clean and directions to get in all clear. The flooring is dangerously slippy though in the rooms, don't walk around in just socks! The senser/timer for the hall light in room 3 was too long and disturbed sleep. The location was ideal though and right near the cathedral and a great curry place.

Despite booking over a month before we intended to stay, our booking was cancelled at 5pm on the day of our stay. Had to find another hotel with a vacancy which cost more than our original booking.
