Average!!

Average accommodation. Staff were mostly good. The Hotel was very dated with incorrect information on the Website. Staff working on reception, bar and meal service and run off their feet. Pricing was in inconsistent between various apps and Hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable but very dated. Pool and laundry closed which was disappointing. Police visited often during my 10 day stay. Very hot in the rooms, bar, breakfast room and some parts of the building. I would not return to this Hotel and would not recommend it to anybody.

It’s perfect when you only have small budget. The only thing I wish was available is a fan , it was really hot in the room and zero breeze from the window so fan would have been very useful

Food slow and basic, what is on the menu is what you get so can’t modify anything. Beds not bad. Place needs a good refurb and clean. Was graffiti on the side board in the room that had been there since 2/12/2016.

Not a luxury stay but okay for bed for the night. Good location as food places within walking distance. A small cosy room, shower did not drain well and had not much pressure, no bedside lamps.

Okay

Initial impressions are the front of the hotel looks old and unwelcoming. Upon entry the staff are friendly and welcoming. Our room was a good size with a very large king size bed with white clean sheets. Ensuite had a shower and toilet and clean white sheets. Had a quiet confortable good night sleep. The hotel is run down, the room is okay. For the price i paid would return but if paying

I only booked this because the Ox Hotel was the only thing available in the area on a Saturday night. The hotel is old fashioned but very clean, they're renovating parts of it, our room was dated but everything was functioning and we had what looked like a new bed with high quality linen. For the price we paid, I really can't quibble. Would I stay again, yes, if the price was low, I wouldn't pay anymore than we did.
