The room was basic but ok. It was located on the front and the noise from the passing trams was pretty constant so did not get the best sleep each night. The kitchen was old and the electric hob had seen better days and the drinking cups and glasses were not prperly cleaned. The Hotel was close to Marvel Stadium which is why we selected it.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel looks a bit rundown and not very clean at all. The dust on the floor beside our bed was disgusting. We opened the bottle water in our room and it tasted disgusting. Bathroom could have been given a deep clean, cup had toothpaste residue from previous guests, blood On wall and waste bin, bottom of shower door filthy. Gave them a 3 because it was a good location, they kept our luggage for us while we went along street on day of departure and you could get water in the lobby. mark on wall and bin
