Budget priced room in a useful location for me. It was clean. The staff were friendly. There was an en-suite. There was a working tv. It didn't smell. Reasonably quiet. It was pretty much as you'd expect for a budget hotel. The room is small, but adequate. There is a decent window with a view of the street. The en-suite with shower is very cramped, but can be used. The lights and sockets work, and are in reasonably useful places. Room key had to be handed in before going out, with the assurance that there was always someone on the desk 24 hours. Of course, when I got back at around 10.30 in the evening, there was no staff at reception, just a note pinned to the outside door saying they would be back in five minutes. After about five minutes another guest appeared and let me in. After another few minutes a member of staff turned up at the desk to give me my key. As this is a budget hotel I expected stairs. However, the last flight of stairs are very small and twisty with no adequate banister. I didn't like going up and down them. There was a bar of soap, but no shampoo. There was no kettle or tea bags. The duvet was rather light and small, so I woke up cold a number of times. As it was the fifth floor with a tricky flight of stairs, I didn't fancy going down to ask for an extra blanket. All in all it was an acceptable room for the price. If staying here again, I would request a blanket, and a lower floor. I am unlikely to stay here again though as I didn't like being kept waiting outside the hotel when I wanted to go to my room to sleep. I'd prefer to keep my key and be in control of letting myself in.
