Booked a twin room with my teenage son, but was allocated a double on arrival. With no twin rooms available they made up a sofa bed, making the room very cramped and it was less comfortable for him. The shower didn’t drain very well, the aircon did not work but did have an annoying drip. From the state of the wall, it had been doing this for some time. Even the toilet roll holder fell apart on touch. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was pretty good, but overall not a great experience. Some basic maintenance needed.

Clean and tidy with good facilities, rooms were clean. Beds were not the comfiest and the toilet flush was a struggle to flush properly. Staff service at breakfast were slow with clearing plates so tables were slow to be had.

We stayed one night & whilst the staff were extremely friendly & the breakfast was also very nice, the room wasn’t the greatest! The pillows have seen better days, the sofa bed was like laying on a couple of layers of cardboard & the room was very warm after having a shower which meant the fairly noisy AC unit was on most of the night. We probably wouldn’t stay again at this particular hotel but that is no reflection on the staff, location or food / drink offering.
