Staff shockingly unfriendly, very small rooms. Mattress was broken! Had to ask for a new one, brought by disgruntled staff member, offered no apology. Stain on blanket. Damp on wall. Very unhelpful staff and no friendly greeting. Found it a very uncomfortable atmosphere and uncomfortably small room. For the price I expected much more. Will not stay again. Very disappointed as Jethart hospitality has always been world class. Previous owners much better. A terrible stay.

Website is inaccurate. Main door is locked until 2.58pm so you cannot access the hotel. Reception is only manned from 3-8pm. Temperature in Reception was cold and we were told heating was not on in the rooms as housekeeping turn off in the morning we would need to put on the radiator ourselves if we wanted a warm room. There is no breakfast offered in “winter months” staff at reception were abrupt and demanded payment as we walked in the door. Shower was underpowered and the base is incredibly slippy and the room looked neglected. The whole “vibe” of this hotel is in it for the money & hostel not hotel.
