Good for the money, seperate entrance from the pub which is nice. Rooms were mostly clean but some odd stains on pillows and other areas. No lift so be ready to climb a lot of stairs.

Check-in was dependent on how busy staff were and we had to wait a further hour and a half after the stated time. Very conveniently located in the CBD, basic but comfortable pub-style accommodation and surprisingly quiet considering it's central hub location

Great hotel, great price

Amazing hotel and central to the shopping area. Rooms were clean and cosy. Toilets are spotless and love the stay here. Only negative is that there is no lifts so you will need to carry your bag up the stairs

Great location and a good pub!

Great location, accomodating staff. I knew there was no elevator, so can't complain about that! Pub was great for happy hour and dinner. Bathroom was smallish and reminded me of being in an RV, but knew about that too. All in all a good place to stay for a couple of days.

It was a very good stay. Very well located, near town hall station (where you get everything for everywhere), refurbished room, good spacious, good bathroom, good bed. The only remark is there is no breakfast, but there is a dulce gusto machine (free) and several coffee shops very close. I recommend the stay.
