Do not waste your money

This felt completely like a scam. Not at all like the photos. Will be requesting a refund. Mould everywhere, can see it and even feel it in the air. Place has not been cleaned and is in desperate need of refurbishment. Please see the photos attached and ask yourself if you will be more or less clean after going into this bathroom. Smoke detector also covered up - perhaps mould spores and detectors were triggering.

Would score a negative if possible. Seemed like an illegal room, no proper door lock or windows. Was dirty, and sheets were thread bare. Better to pitch a tent in the park, and burn your money to stay warm. Will submit for refund when home.

Ok for a night or two

Hotel about 15 mins walk from Botanical gardens. Family house that has been converted into rooms. Room 12, X2 single beds at the back in a conservatory, tiny window in room and bathroom. Very little sound proofing in room or from above. Ok for a night or two, but no more.
