We stayed here after a concert at the Arena. We picked The Wrens because it was close to the Arena, and that was probably the only good thing. On arrival we were greeted and felt welcomed. Going up the stairs to the 3rd floor there were no lights. Entering the room it was ok, clean and cool. Until you open the bathroom door and the stench was horrendous. I think it was the smell of dampness but it was extremely overpowering thereforewe didnt want to stay in there long enough to use the shower. We obviously slept (I say slept loosely) on the mattress that felt like it was bought from IKEA. Springs sticking into every part of you body whatever position you lie in. Another bad note was that the bed sheets and towels were both stained. For an extra £20 we could have stayed at the Premier Inn, and that £20 definitely seems worth it this morning.

Convenient location but be warned - not as advertised! I don’t know where half the photos on the listing were taken but it certainly wasn’t where we stayed! Although stairs were mentioned, be aware it is over 4 floors with very steep and twisted stairs. Could make a great rollercoaster ride if you handle your suitcase wrong! City centre location over a pub, fine, but there are 2-3 nightclubs next to and opposite which aren’t mentioned. Cool if you’re a clubber, not so cool if you are no longer into raving until 4-5am. Apparently they provide complimentary ear plugs if you ask. If you can be bothered to trek back down all the stairs and if the pub is still open, take them up on this. It was reasonably clean when we got there but unfortunately no brush or hoover is provided, or washing up liquid so we couldn’t make their job easier when we left without being able to do a basic clean. If you are in after us, if you find some stray ‘willy confetti’ (hen do!) we do apologise! We did try! Take a towel! Listing states towels provided, the one towel provided between 7 of us isn’t ideal. We’d rather it was listed as ‘not provided’ so we know to bring our own! Not sure what happened with previous guests but my bed was broken…and directly over a massive crack in the ceiling of the floor below. That was a fun find, as was the bug I discovered sharing a bed with me. For the price and convenient location it wasn’t all bad but read reviews carefully to know what you’re getting into!

Disappointed
I have been to the Wrens a few times and found it excellent. So very disappointed to see the pub shut and great difficulty getting access to the room. I appreciate the building work on the road outside caused a problem. We will give it one more chance and see if things are better.

A bit noisy at night because pubs surround. Can’t close the window because of weather. Should have a fan in the room at this time of season. Rest fine for the amount they charge.

No towel in the bedroom, reception locked so no staff to ask for one in the morning. Not answering the phone either.

I was the convenient of the shops.but they were a couple of things wrong with the room The toilet flushing system was faulty along with the toilet seat which was loose. The room could do with a bigger tv on the wall so they is more on the desk to work.

Good for the price, location great for atena (was seeing OMD). Little tired but clean & practical. Mattress was a bit thin but ok. Overall, for an economic stay in the City Centre, this was a great coice & i would recommend definitely.

The wrens, not a bad place for the money on the build up to Christmas. Room was simple just could have done with some TLC. Booked in at the bar, staff were friendly, although I asked if there was an iron and board I could use and I didn’t see anyone after asking! All in all, cheap simple place to stay with plenty going on around you

Did the job
It’s in a good spot , the decor needs updating on the room we stayed . A bit grim in parts . Yes it is noisy outside , you get a key for the side gate to get in after hours which is very tricky to open , especially after a few beers . We actually started to panic thinking we couldn’t get in . But the mrs finally did it but not sure how . Then it’s up the metal fire exit stairs. Bed was comfortable enough . It was ok for our 1 night stay

Incredibly convenient and good value clean basic accommodation with a nice view. Some maintenance needed in bathroom fittings. Perfect to crash after a night on the town - not so much if you need an early night. Lots of late-opening bars in the area and the music reverberating through the building is LOUD. Would be nice to have a more soundproof door as well, as I was treated to every detail of the domestic that erupted at 2am in the corridor outside. Even so, I would definitely go back.
