Very dated, you definitely get what you pay for here. Rooms clean and comfortable enough, staff good at check in, very rude at breakfast, we didn’t bother staying for breakfast in the end we walked to the retail park and ate there. Sign on reception said 20 minute walk to Stadium of Light but it’s definitely 30-40 minutes. Would I return, no not really.

The staff were efficient, welcoming and happy to help. We wanted a cheap & functional room and that’s what we got with a bonus of a fan. The parking was fantastic value - £5 for 24hrs and an easy walk to The Stadium of Light mainly along a pedestrian route. Definitely great value and superb staff.

Hottle Review – Stayed with Family (2 Adults, 2 Children) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5) We stayed here as a family (2 adults and 2 children). The room was simple but neat and spacious enough for our needs. Cleanliness was good, and the location is convenient. Parking was reasonably priced at £5 per night, with occasional discounts available. The overall price was fair compared to similar accommodations — we paid around £90 for one night. Most of the staff were friendly, especially one lovely lady working the Sunday morning shift on June 22nd. I regret not getting her name, but I want to thank her and hope the hotel management appreciates her excellent service. Breakfast wasn't a buffet and had limited options, but given the price, it was acceptable and we were satisfied. There are a few downsides to be aware of: No lift No gym No air conditioning. This could be an issue in warm weather — the room only had a fan, which didn’t work well when temperatures rose. In summary: Room: Simple, clean, and spacious Cleanliness: Good Location: Convenient Price: Fair Staff: Mixed — some average, one exceptional Breakfast: Limited, but acceptable Facilities: Lacking A/C, lift, and gym Overall, a decent stay. I’d rate it 3 out of 5.

The hotel has recently been changed over from a migrant hotel back to a functional hotel. However very little has been done to bring it back to a functional accommodation. I would not take a UV light to either carpets or beds. It is clear the place needs a full refurb. When you arrive the first thing you notice is the derelict pub next to the entrance. The receptionist who would prefer to be somewhere else and has an attitude akin to the tired and unwelcoming property. The rooms are dirty, we did not take our shoes off in the room, as the carpet was covered in stains. The saving grace was the cold ridden receptionist in the morning who went out of her way to make breakfast pleasant. Will never stay again!

I was a bit dubious at 1st, we had the breakfast but it seems the do each individual person at a time on the 1st day, but the 2nd day the had some warmers, its was nice. Rooms were tidy and clean. Looks like an old premier inn taken over by best west. I over heard some say they only had it couple of months. Will stay again.
