Just one night

The room and bathroom were clean. Beds are comfy, Shower is over the bath and could do with a slip mat. We were in room 325, a basic room, overlooking a street, the window opens inwards and wide. The air conditioner is very noisy. But overall for one night it was good. Breakfast was just ok.

Don’t bother with premium

We paid for a premium room which was small with a very uncomfortable bed. We’d stayed here before under different hotel management in a standard room which was actually more comfortable!
