Claire

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Did not look anything like the photos. The room was very basic and pretty grubby looking. The linen and towels were clean but the rest of the room didn’t look the cleanest. The window of the room was a thin pane of glass and the door just had a keychain for locking the door. During my stay it was mainly male guests congregating about outside and as a solo female traveller I did not feel safe or secure in my room especially with how thin the glass of the window was and the flimsy door. I had to push a chair behind the door and put my case on top of it as I was scared. Safe to say I did not stay my full 3 nights I checked out and went to another hotel. This place was extremely overpriced for what it is. There was also random insects on the room floor. I asked about a refund due to safety concerns and was made to feel like an idiot. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Room was neat and tidy; bed was ok and had fresh linen. Room had a microwave and small fridge available. Staff were helpfully and friendly. Unfortunately, the amount of noise got to me - street outside the property is very busy combined with people noise and airplanes every now and then - otherwise I had a pleasant stay
