The rooms were always really clean and for a room costing £65 per night, it has great value! The beds were very comfy and the breakfasts are good too! There are some issues however, the breakfast is at a really early time which is annoying for me as I like to stay in bed late. The location is also somewhat bad as well, because of it being on a conjested road
