Awful.

Charming old building. Nothing blocking the window in bathroom. Realised in time to see some weirdo trying to film on phone across the road. (Staff denied was possible till I insisted they come to room and they put a dirty towel up.) The room was very dirty. Slept on top Of covers and luckily I carry my own pillow.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
To be fair it was a cheap stay but the property is very old and unloved. Clearly whoever owns it had no intention of doing any renovation or long term plans. It’s just a lumpy bed to sleep on for a few hours. Nice general manager who is clearly doing what he can. The restaurant and bars are all closed down

Filthy

The room was filthy. My partner and I returned the keys and went somewhere else. Do not be deceived by the pictures. It was a non-refundable booking, but I paid for insurance. The receptionist said was two star, but there is no excuse for a filthy bathroom and filthy window sills. We did not stay because we suspected we would be eaten alive by all manner of bugs overnight. Avoid this place, it’s shocking.

The manager, and the staff namely Carissa, Rita, Ahmed and Martin; we’re very attentive and so friendly. I could see they worked hard to keep up appearances. Only one issue I had was when I was out the night before the day I left, code for door was changed and I was stuck, till management let me in. Apart from that a pleasant stay and would recommend to friends and colleagues.

The room was disgusting sheets did not fit on beds, mattresses were filthy and toilet not clean, damp coming in, carpets not hoovered and not facilities for drinks. When we arrived it said on google the the place was closed. On making more enquiries I found out that the 5 star rating was for 2015 and has not been inspected since and since Covid all facilities had been shut except room rental.

Wouldn't recommend, but the staff were nice

The hotel advertisement was misleading. It boasts beautiful views but all we could see was a scruffy concrete space from a dirty window. Our room was meant to have a queen bed but it was two singles pushed together with a top sheet which didn't fit, so it came off as soon as qe got into bed. Nowhere to eat or drink on sight. Ours was meant to be a deluxe room, but there was nothing deluxe about it. We had disposable cups in the room. Unfortunately, the section to add pictures isn't working.

Poor

Sheet did not fit the bed, pillows stained snd smelled sweaty and old. Description stated queen bed, it was two singles pushed together and of different heights and firmness. Desvription stated an Iron was available, none so asked at reception none available even though ironing board in room. Room dirty with debris on floor. Windows dirty and didnt close properley, rattled and noise came in from outside. Only a small amount of toilet paper on roll, had to ask at reception for amother roll. Very poor stay. Nousy
