Stayed for one night last night and i was that cold i slept in my clothes. Noted fan heaters were left outside peoples rooms along the corridor but not ours. No heating at all in our rooms and rooms are singke glazed. Told reception on checkout but were indifferent. Lift wasnt working so we had 4 flights of stairs to walk up with luggage despite reception at check in saying “ you are on the 4th floor, go through the double doors and the lift is on the right”. No offer of breakfast on check in and no drinks facility noted or situated in the room. Room was clean but the bed wasnt made, the bottom sheet was on the end of the bed and the mattress had the cover protector on with the quilt thrown over. Bathroom was clean with the exception of the door which is in need of a clean as marks all over it. Had to call for internet access details as not given at check or in the room. No fire escape instructions in the room or noted in the corridor. Room was situated at the rear of the property with considerable noise above all night of some sort of “droning noise”. Reception staff did endeavour to help with our ev and parking enquiry on check in. Overall there is room for considerable improvement here and be honest with your heating issues. I would be unlikely to stay again.

The room was absolutely freezing cold! Two large radiators but neither of them worked. It made for an uncomfortable night. The plumbing is obviously old, and water was cold for the shower and the basin tap spluttered dramatically. Not great.

For the first time I can remember I was asked for photo id or no stay. Eventually I found an old email sending a redacted copy of my passport and that was accepted. The confirmation email MAY have mentioned it but who reads those for a stay in the UK? Radiators obviously need bleeding as it sounded like we were bivvying next to a bleeding waterfall! Basic facilities, no tea /coffee etc, but quiet and otherwise comfortable.

Okay but not suitable for longer stays

Room was very cold, heating wasn't working - they are currently doing refurb works so think that may have been part of the problem. Staff were on the whole very friendly and helpful. There could be more consistency in service however - most staff didn't charge to make a cup of tea for instance but one morning another member of staff did charge so very much depends on who you get! Convenient that it's a few mins walk from the city centre.

Overall it was great for the price. But they did start doing hallway construction at 7am which was super loud. And despite having the do not disturb sign on the door someone walked in while we were getting dressed and they didn’t even knock.

Booking this hotel, I questioned paying £80 for four adults on a Friday night ahead of a Mersyside Derby. However, we got there, the location is very central, the hostel was clean in itself, the lift looked a final destination style life. The room we got was great and exactly what I'd expect for £80 but clean, tidy, good spacious bathroom. Well worth the money we paid and would definitely return. Staff were not overly talkative but if thats my downfall from an £80 (£20pp) stay then so be it.
