Disgusting place!

Liked: Nothing at All!!!
Disliked: Absolutely everything, very smelly, dirty, receptionist unpleasant, I don't know how "that" can be a ☆☆☆ accommodation!!I did the check-in, and went to my designation room, on the way the smell was terrible (sorry for the word) but disgusting, when I went inside I was shocked; the toilet was dirty, and pubic air on the bath area, and taps very old /broken, when a remove the bedding there was long dark hair, the walls with damage paper piling away... the sleep very unpleasant again, and the fire alarm had what looks like a white sock covering it!!! Not what was shown in the photos when I made the booking for accommodation honestly! So as took some photos as proof of the above written, closed the door went to the reception to complain about it, and in the end decided to go away, and booked another hotel/place for the night, as the above-mentioned details about this "Hotel" will be waiting for a full refund of £72 paid.

Poor - 1.5 out of 5

In serious need of renovations.

Liked: This is probably the hotel closest to the university. The breakfast was quite alright.
Disliked: This was probably among - if not the - most dirty rooms I've ever stayed in. The carpet floor hasn't been vacuumed in what seemed like weeks. I found a thumb pin laying on the floor - almost stepped into it. The water in the kettle had some residue swimming around. The PVC floor in the bathroom is completely swollen up due to the humidity. There are spots (most likely mold) everywhere in the bathroom. No toilet brush. The shower head was absolutely dirty. I'm going to stop here.
