    Was in the process of being decorated (I know that cant be helped) so no bar facilities. No reception on site so would be nice to be able to talk to someone as we run out of toilet paper and no one to ask for more. Bit of mould on the bathroom wall but its an old building

    Lovely clean room matress was outstanding great nights sleep

    I was perfectly happy, warm enough in cold weather and so joyous for a clean microwave!

    There wasn't much I didn't like. The New Athena wasn't what I expected, in that it's better than basic, but still quite basic because you get a code, you may see staff, but largely its a self service, non-host hotel (which generally suits me. I expected the place to feel cosier. However I wasn't put off totally. I was petrified that I would forget my code, expecially not seeing the owners contact number in any prominent position in the common parts.

    I felt the code system to get into the premises was abolutely excellent, especially if you ensure you don't leave your room, without the details in your pocket. I felt a great deal of effor goes into the New Athena. The room overall was really fine. Presentable. Clean shower and toilet. The bed was very comfortable and where I stayed at the time I stayed was extremely quiet. The common parts also felt tidy. I especially loved the fact that despite keeping prices so very low, there is a common room with free tea and coffee, wihch seemed underused though at my time there. Also a microwave was available, which was clean and there was at least disposable cleaning cloth for spillages. I had a great two day stay and would make it a go to destination to stay at!

    No drink making facilities in room. On this visit a top window had been forced open by another guest and couldn't be closed but wasn't too cold or noisy. After reporting it I was assured it would be fixed asap.

    Clean room and shower room, tidy and good value for money

    The room was tidy but the cleaners need to learn to clean behind units & check in the draws, the draws were full of dirt & dust & the carpets need to be hoovered more often, also a empty wrapper was left in the shower by previous people, proves the shower area wasn't checked, duvet cover was also dirty. Also the website needs to make it clearer regarding tea/ coffee, was told there was a kettle in the room, but was no kettle, tea/coffee was infact free on ground floor which was inconvenient when your on 3rd floor

    Good central location

    A tad annoying that the tea and coffee facilities were not in the room but nothing that would affect my rating, had some issues with parking however this was resolved very quickly, towel and pillow case were stained and asked staff about getting a replacement but was told that they were clean and out the wash so did not receive another. Room a little small but to only pay £25 you can’t expect a huge room, only other thing was the tv was slanted on the wall so was not straight

    Clean room and bathroom, good location, friendly staff when you needed to phone

    We didn't like the fact that there was no kettle in the room and no free view channels on the tv eg really or 5 USA ect

    We really liked where it was it wasn't far from the shops eg town and wasn't far from train station or other places

    A recommendation would be to keep the drinks station well stocked. Maybe a thought would be a vending machine to stock cereals & microwavable food. Also disposable cutlery
