We had to ask for clean towels as they had dirt marks, shower curtain had mould on the bottom. We did ask for them to be changed which they did while we were out. The sink and bath were damaged, grout near the bath black mould. sealant under window also had black mould. Carpets stained. Reception and public areas look really nice but the rooms need an upgrade. Staff were really nice and polite.

The hotel was basic but clean and well maintained. The staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast had something for everyone including myself (gluten free and vegetarian). Great travel routes onto the city centre which was easy to use and fast. The biggest issue was the beds! The bed was just too small (double) and on wheels so when someone moved the whole bed moved. Didnt sleep well any of the nights which did put a bit of a strain on the holiday .
