Basic affordable accomodation. A bit tired but everything worked - great shower, TV, tea & coffee, hairdryer. There's a table tennis room for guests too, but we were too tired to give it a go sadly. A 15 minute walk from town centre.

Horrible place….looked filthy on the outside…a lot of undesirable characters hanging about….£15 required if you wanted to check in early..looks like a mental institution.
