Somewhere cheap to lay your head for the night. Ok but certainly not sparking clean or somewhere to stay for more than a night. Bed was quite comfy and the noise wasn’t too bad considering bar below.

The room was lovely & very big. Nice sofa bed infront of the tv on the wall. We were only there 1 night, so we didnt use the sofa or the tv. The bed was huge, & sooo comfy. Only issue we had was the shower. It was either hot or scolding. And we couldn't get hold of anyone on the phone to assist us. There should be a direct number to reception for emergencies or problems, as I had to go down to reception in my pj's & then wait for someone to come from the restaurant to see me. However, the lady was very helpful. She came & tested the shower & agreed it was far too hot. She gave us access to an empty room, luckily it was only next door, so we could use that shower. I must say that the shower was one of the smallest I've ever seen. Anyone larger would not have got in there. I could'nt reach down to my feet lol. But at least I was clean & could wash my hair.

Great service, great staff. Decor a little tired.

The staff were excellent and the room was lovely and quiet. The beds were really comfy. I would only say that the shower cubicle was very cramped with a drench shower head which was unnerving for my elderly mum and the carpets and some fixtures were a little tired.

Was a lovely hotel with lovely staff in a nice location, I do like the kings inn hotels but admittedly the bathroom wasn’t very clean nor modern and it did smell a little, but it was still good for the price we paid to stay there. The bed was comfortable and we had a sleep without any disturbances. Also breakfast was nice, and the bar maids were very nice and it was very calm and chilled to sit and have a drink in the evening.
