"Don't be put off by the location "

8.0

This place is great for an over nighter. Stayed here to watch the rugby. The location is rundown and not very inviting but once you are in, it's clean and does the job.

"Very Good"

8.0

The stay at Arofan House was very good. I can fault the place. The only discomforts were that the pillows were too soft/flat and that the sink in the bathroom was clogged ( water leaked away slowly). This was reported but didn't get fixed before we left as we left the day after it was reported. Easy to commute to toen centre and other places

"Good, but need few improvements!"

6.0

I stayed in this property for two weeks as a interim stay while moving apartments. The room itself was clean, with ample storage area, work desk and the people working were friendly and responsive. Few things to mention were that the nights were really noisy from few of the neighbours and the loud banging of doors when people walk in and out of their rooms. I would not blame it on the guests but on the design of the doors closing behind. Also there was no scheduled cleaning of the room as mentioned during check in.Could not keep the windows open at night because loud noises made by the seagulls around which I think is not in the properties control. Think the property is taking all the effort for accommodate more people as hotel guests!

8.0

Well mainly 3 things 1. Mattress isn’t comfortable at all. Definitely needs change. 2. People make noises or too loud arguing in corridor around mid night. There should Be rules not to bother others 3. Staff is kind and good, place is amazing from near by bustop weatherspoon supermarket , it’s neat

"Good"

2.0

Filthy room: the microwave was dirty (dried on food on the plate and surrounds), cups dirty (one had hairs inside), bedding was ripped and extremely thin and there were hairs everywhere (on the floor, kitchen worktops and in the bathrooms). The kitchen extractor fan was dusty and covered in cooking stains and also had hairs on it. The bed was springy and extremely uncomfortable. I slept less than 2 hours overall as I kept getting woken up by springs digging into my back. I booked a studio with the main reason being not needing to spend extra money on eating out. However the kitchen isn't usable. All you get are 2 dirty mugs, 2 glasses, 2 teaspoons, 2 bowls and 2 saucers. No cutlery, plates, other crockery or saucepans. There is a 2-ring hob, but with no saucepans, you can't use it. There is no oven as advertised, it is instead built into the microwave. This took 50 minutes to cook some thin oven fries to a barely cooked state, after which I gave up and ate out. The microwave also has a grill, but was missing the grill rack, so that was also pointless. An ironing board was provided, but no iron, rendering it useless. The area immediately around the property had people hanging around on the street and the high street had large groups of people who I felt were intimidating when walking alone. I would not recommend the area for a solo traveller.

"Noise and cleanliness was bad "

4.0

The facilities were ok, however they have failed to maintain the cleanliness of the space. From used false lashes on the floor to dust everywhere to gulp of hair on the shower drainage to really thin bed sheets, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since the last guest. When I ask for another room, they gave me a room that was also dirty. There was also a party next room on my first night, so I could not sleep Cus of the noise. Quite disappointing stay overall, would not recommend. I was too disgusted to add more photos
