The first room we were offer smelt of someone smoking ganja inside. We changed to another room, this had no smell and was basic. During the course of the evening, on about 3 occasions people tried the door to the room between say 02:45 - 03:20. There was lots of work going on in the building and I guess they are trying to improve the hotel.

The hotel is in need of a renovation, bathroom tiles off, toilet leaking. Our room was not serviced. There were no other facilities, food, drinks etc. The only positive thing was that the kind young man on reception went to a local shop for ice for our champagne.

Ermmmm...

There were no staff during check-in hours and I had to wait for a while until someone showed up. The door of the room was easily jammed. I was once stuck in the bathroom and had to ask my friend to push the door from the other side to rescue me. The sink was clogged too.

It is an old hotel currently under refurbishment. Friendly staff are doing what they can to be helpful in a run down hotel. I would only revisit when it has been fully refurbished, which will take a while. The new owner was welcoming and enthusiastic about the job ahead of him. Very run down but beds clean and tea in the room. You get what you pay for, and it was very cheap. I wouldn't recommend the hotel unless you are watching your pennies. Good luck to the refurbishment.

Worst hotel ever

This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed in! The pictures on the website are nothing like what we experienced. It did not even feel safe to leave our belongings in the room when we went out or overnight. Please do not advertise this hotel on hotel.com it’s horrendous

The staff is good. But the room faced the rubbish and dirty roofs (not at all like pictures) smoked under the windows, which is not at all acceptable to stay there with the children

We were told on arrival there were problems with our room but the hotel was full. No hot water. Room very hot with radiator on? Window would not open so no ventilation. There was a fan but it just circulated the hot air. No plugs in sink or bath. No TV been removed. Asked for glasses which staff got for us. Asked for an extra pillow twice never arrived. The receptionist offered to move us on our second day but we decided not to move. Great location but tired and dated. Staff pleasant and tried to help.
