It was ok. However, there was a family with children next door who woke me up very early in the morning when preparing for school.

1/5 - Disappointing Experience with Hidden Fees
I booked a room at Woodlands Hotel, only to be surprised with a £100 cash deposit requirement upon arrival. This policy was not disclosed during the booking process, which I believe is unacceptable.
As a consumer, I expect transparency in pricing and policies. Hiding such a significant requirement until check-in is unfair and feels like a bait-and-switch tactic.
I cancelled my booking and went to a nearby Travelodge instead. I'm still awaiting a refund for my original booking.
To potential guests, beware of Woodlands Hotel's hidden fees. To the hotel management, I suggest revising your policy to clearly disclose all requirements upfront
Unfortunately the room did not match how the hotel is advertised on the website. The place was really unclean, there was mildew on the bed covers and the property stunk of weed. The bathroom was shared, which was not as described and it was also extremely unclean and very poorly maintained. The room we were given was in a conpletely seperate building which was basically a house about fiften doors down from the main building, which again is not as described on the website. Facilities were reslly lacking, and didn't match the pictures shown on the website. There was no tv in the room, and the room was extremely basic. Would not reccomend this to anybody and we actually ended up leaving without staying the night as we felt so uncomfortable.
My bed had a stain and pillow had a hair - towels were dirty - staff didn’t let me have an invoice upon checking out and got a general poor welcome with the receptionist when we checked in - plus we had to walk many blocks to get to our “hotel room” which is just someone’s house with a bed a desk with no chair and no mirror apart from in bathroom and no lamp so it lacked the nessecary facilities
The front desk employee who greeted me was rather cold and unfriendly. He asked me to pay 100 pounds as a safety deposit, but his machine couldn't read my card, so he asked me to "find a bank and withdraw cash." There were no banks nearby and it was pouring down rain. I had to go twice and spend 25 minutes in the rain to get the money.
The "breakfast" consisted of two cereal containers, white sliced bread, and a few boiled eggs. It was very little and not appetizing. The "dining room" was untidy and unwelcoming.
Na pokoji zima - na pokoji pouze 1 přímotop, který pokoj vytopil asi tak za 4 hodiny, při příchodu byl vypnutý. Bezplatná snídaně je slabá. Bezpečnostní deposit 100 liber-tolik nemá hodnotu snad vše, co na tom pokoji je.
Toilet non stop running
TV one channel working sometimes
Wifi OK, but kept cutting out
Shower drain blocked
No shelves or rails in bathroom
Mattress springs not right
