There was one member of staff doing everything without support or security. I booked 5 nights. Area was rough at night and hotel guests were shouting and fighting two of the nights. I was frightened. It looked like manager had been beaten up, but he denied it. Walls were very thin and a couple in next room kept me awake most of night. It was disgusting. Breakfast was basic but there was limited fruit and fresh items. Club and pub opposite Lodge was extremely loud and rowdy well past 12am. This is not a good place for families or decent people to stay. Management need to get a security guard and more staff. They are obviously just interested in making as much profit as possible at the expense of the sole member of staff and the decent clientele. Rooms were clean and sole member of staff was helpful and polite, making the best of a bad set up.

For what we paid the hotel was good! Right next to the city center. Breakfast was basic but good and the worker ensured that it was constantly stocked up! Great for a couple of nights :)

Breakfast was great. The hotel manager a nice helpful person. The beds were very uncomfortable and would be better if the shower head was upright. Overall everything in the room was outdated. The lack of heating too. The big radiator was not working and was replaced by a much smaller one which was too small to heat the whole room. The hotel manager kindly lent us his fan heater from reception but there needs to be something more permanent in place.

You couldn't be more central (excellent location). Sanjeewa was wonderful - We thought we had an issue with our TV & he came up immediately to sort it (it was us, not the TV)! Breakfast was so good, continental but plenty of variety. Sanjeewa also allowed us to leave pur bags at the property, after check-out. Really can't rate this place highly enough, at the price we paid. Would recommend 💯

Room wasn't great! Water coming out of taped up holes in the wall and shower was terrible. Breakfast was 8-10 and when I got there at 8 was told it was 08:30 not 8 so had to leave without.

The hotel is well overdue for some investment. A substantial renovation is needed to overcome tired decor, poor en suite and shower, neglected reception area. Really can't recommend. However the saving feature was Sanjeewa, the manager, who impressed us with his professional and courteous approach. He did everything to help in difficult circumstances.

Lovely property, convenient location, renovated nicely, comfortable clean and compact, exactly what we needed. Only meet one staff member, but he was polite, helpful and informative. Minor details like taps a bit loose and TV remote needed new batteries could do with attention, but no big deal. Nice range of breakfast items, nice dining room. Listing on Expedia said the hotel had parking which wasn't true but the local multi storey did the job

AVOID. Generally tired, old and run down. Half expected this for the price so not that bothered about that. the location was good. The problem.... bedbugs. Lots of the horrible little things. We've videos of them all around the room and unfortunately we didn't realise until the morning. It's clear there's been an infestation for some time - there's actually reviews that we missed discussing this. It's clear though that this recent infestation has also been going on for a while... pale grey dried blood stains were visible on virtually all linen (easy to see when you look for it). The hotel has ignored all attempts to discuss this issue.

The people were so nice and were always cleaning, but the toilet had some kind of a pump on it. When you flushed it would add water and then make an ungodly noise. This always made me jump. Worse if you used the toilet at night, with a full badder, the pump would activate. OH MY!
