Location was great for the hospital, literally a five minute walk which was very helpful..rooms were adequate,baths need an urgent upgrade ..cold room on arrival but was sorted with a quick text to the very helpful staff..it is quite hands off so to speak ..no brekkie was a letdown but I didn't read properly so my fault there and 2 pubs either side next door (which were surprisingly quiet for such a busy high street) ..and my dad had a view of the famous shark ! Restaurant underneath was expensive but nice and staff again very nice ..the hug goodbye helped ..thank you ! Oh and the Starbucks up the road is crap !!

I don't recommend. We only stayed here as it was one of the cheapest places with availability, but it still wasn't great value for money. The beds are fairly uncomfortable, the decor is outdated and the walls are peeling, so this place urgently needs a makeover! The walls are thin so you can hear traffic and noise from other bedrooms. Breakfast is not included, but there are many nearby cafés. There's frequent buses from here to the city centre. It could be worse!

Great location for the hospital if you have an early appointment and want to be able to walk. The room was a very small double. The bed had one side was against the wall so that side had no bedside table and the person had to shuffle to the bottom of the bed to get out if the other did not get out of bed or was asleep. One of the parking spaces is quite tight for getting in or out. Junk left around car park and in alley way to car pael. Dated bathroom, dated carpet and decor, dated pictures, mismatched and dated furniture. Clean bed linen.

The location is great for the JR hospital.It has limited parking.That is all the positives I can think of.The place smells horrible, the decor has not been updated in years. The ensuite has a pink basin and toilet...these have not been available to buy for decades.There was no remote for the TV. The guy on reception tried a couple of spare ones but nothing worked.The double room was really cramped, bed up against two walls. One electrical socket. WiFi really weak. Situated right on the main road which was really noisy as the window had to remain open to get any air in the room. There was little sound protection inside too, every other door closing can be heard, even someone switching on a light is audible too.Very poor value for the amount charged.I will certainly look for an alternative for my next visit.
