This is a Trusted Review. Why?

We thought we had booked rooms in the Hotel rather than the hostel (our error) so were a bit disappointed when we got there. We decided to enquire about paying to upgrade and this is where my problem lies. The guy on reception said there were no rooms in the hotel but we could 'upgrade' in the hostel from our 2 double rooms with shared bathroom to a 5 bed dorm room with ensuite but it would cost an extra £45 per night. We didn't feel that the private bathroom made up for us all being in 1 room together in bunk beds so we decided to stay put and make the most of things, I also felt that the guy was trying it on a bit and I was right. On our last day I noticed in the hallway a price list which clearly stated that a 4 bed dorm was £20ppn and a 6 bed dorm was £18ppn, so a 5 bed dorm should have been no more than £100 per night, which is what we had paid, so why were they going to charge us £145 per night? Not sure where the extra £45 per night would have gone had we opted for the 'upgrade'
On a general note, the rooms are small but had a mini fridge and a sink, our room also had a tv (limited channels and poor reception), our other room didn't. There is a good lounge and kitchen for general use and although the bedding etc is clean the building itself is just grubby, everywhere looked like it needed a good wipe, carpet on stairs is threadbare, all the banisters and below radiators and tops of doorways etc are thick with grime.
In short if you really need somewhere to stay for a night or two and don't mind sharing a bathroom then this is ok but don't trust the guy on reception when it comes to prices! Personally I will never go back there as I think for the price you can find something much cleaner and better.
