They were painting some areas while we were there but have quite a way to go!! We stayed 2 nights and the first night our toilet was very difficult to flush. o difficult... More

I've satayed at this cheap city centre hotel before, and found it to be ok,clean, and decent value. I have never been here in good weather before however, and due to the combination of large non opening windows (no opening windows at all) and no air con, it is simply unbearable- if this was a workplace it would be shut...

Even if you are using a budget hotel, you expect to be able to sleep, thats really pretty basic stuff. I was working and needed to study in the evening and get a good nights sleep, so I specifically emailed to ask for the quietest room available. It was clear that there was hardly anyone staying there, and I dont... More

Stayed for one night when going to the Motorpoint Arena. Location was excellent, opposite arena and close enough to walk to station, bars and shops. Def looked liked it needed re-painting everywhere but room was clean and bed was comfy Downsides : Can't get into hotel from door on the front, have to walk up the car ramp and use... More

I dont understand when people say 'you get what you pay for', it is not. You may pay £29 for a double but the least you expect is for it to be clean, everthing else can be as basic as it needs, there is no need to pay less to get a dirty room. Though I have never seen fury... More

The bathroom was shabby with broken fittings and stains on the walls. Tea and coffee pots etc were not replaced overnight and my (clean) bathroom floor... More

.. and I would definitely pay again. £29 for a double room including breakfast in a city centre location - that's value for money. It is basic but functional and most importantly clean. The staff on both my stays have been pleasant and helpful. Car parking onsite is limited but nearby Adams St at £5 for 24 hours is a... More

My booking was entirely based on price from the very outset, however, when I read some of the reviews on this site after I'd booked I was quite concerned that I might have made a poor choice! I'm very pleased to report that any misgivings I might of had were totally blown away... The Big Sleep is a fantastic place... More
