Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Lovely decor in hotel, really friendly staff, nice breakfast.
The price is very accessible, but the walls are super thin, the water pressure from the shower was terrible, and a lot of very loud guests late into the night.
Booked three rooms after returning late to the airport.
One room had water running through the ceiling, through a light fitting.
Another room had a bathroom that hadn't been cleaned with a toilet that didn't flush.
Really awful. Have never seen anything like it.
Please don't stay here
The room was much smaller than the images shown and had issues such as the bathroom door wouldn't shut, the toilet seat was split, the shower temperature was erratic, there was a number of holes in tiles that had just been filled as examples. The replenishment at breakfast was poor with next to no interaction with any staff.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The rooms were very nice and big, but the skirting boards were pretty filthy.
Check in was good. Breakfast was poor. No staff to help.
Awful rooms which were not clean, breakfast not great. Staff were lovely though. Had 4 nights booked. Checked out after 1 night & got alternative accommodation.
Nice hotel, pleasant staff, clean and guests are well provided for. A little tired in places but appearances suggest the owners try to keep up with repairs and decoration. Would stay again.
Room was clean, very soft bed. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Partly booked due to high reflection of breakfast. This was the most disappointing part of the stay. It was poor sadly low quality sausages, food was not a good enough standard I’m afraid.
