The photographs of this hotel are very misleading. I wouldn't have stayed here if i'd have read the reviews properly before I booked (my own fault). I tried to cancel and book somewhere else but i'd booked the non-refundable rate.I was very anxious on arrival but it wasn't the worst hotel i've stayed at. Luckily we weren't in it for long.
Pros:
Shower was hot & powerful
Bed was comfy (but small!)
Fridge was useful but we did have to clean it.
Location is very convenient.
It was quiet and blinds were decent.
Cons:
Location could feel a bit shady, but we didn't feel intimidated as we're from Manchester and were used to coming acress a few questionable characters.
There were some long hairs on our bed sheets when we arrived.
The smell in the communcal corridors is really really bad, probably because people are cooking in the rooms. That said it didn't filter into our room too much.
The rooms are in need of redecorating, they are a bit rough round the edges.
Bathroom had a shower curtain which was not particularly clean, felt a bit gross.
