I was worried after reading the high number of negative reviews, but for what we paid, it was fine. Yes, the hotel is old and a little dated, yes the window frames need some TLC, and yes the finish of the room was a bit DIY in quite a few places, but the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and you even get a full English breakfast for your money. If you're happy to pay low prices, then you have to expect that things wont be perfect. The only real problem for us was the shower, it literally trickled out. But we just had baths instead! The chap on reception was friendly and helpful, which goes a long way. All in all, for a one or two night stay its fine.
