Hotel looks very old, no parking, rooms are small. Only the lobby looks good. Lift is broken for months and not getting fixed anytime soon. Small mirror in the room. Shower curtain was very close. Exhaust fan not working. Reception staff were very good and they try their best to earn this extra star in the ratings. Restaurant staff attitude can be improved. Read reviews before booking. Location is good but hotel is not.

Quick friendly check in, clean room, the magic of the singing in the Angel on match day. The room whilst clean was tired eg rope on sash window broken, paper peeling from walls. No plugs near bedside table and remember to take plugs for phone chargers as no usb sockets. That being said, we enjoyed our stay and view from our room
