Clean room, lovely staff. Too hot though in dining room and corridors. Also a bad draft coming from window, only blinds on window, could do with a curtain to block out the light and the draft.

The most important thing in a hotel is cleanliness and this one is clean. The room is quite aged, however, and the shower didn’t drain properly as well as the shower door not shutting properly either. Breakfast in the morning was cereals/eggs/spreads, however, there was only 2 waitresses and it took 10 minutes for them to take the order and almost 20 minutes to be served after. It’s not the staff’s fault but they should employ enough people. I hate to see staff being overworked like this. Apart from that receptionists and staff are friendly, even kindly printed something out for me.
