2/10 Terrible

Thomas

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Absolutely nothing good to say about this hotel

The room was tiny with enough space only for the bed. The floor was sticky and dirty. Virtually everything in the bathroom was broken and the bathroom floor was quite dangerous to walk on. Although the room rate included breakfast the hotel staff were reluctant to honour it. Next door to the hotel is a bar that blasted extremely loud music throughout the night. Very uncomfortable stay.

All neat and clean. Room was very presentable. Did not like the bathroom door opening into the basin! A sliding door would have been better.

Shabby place

Quite shabby place. When I arrived by car late in the night, they would not let me in but said the hotel was fully booked (which was not true). When I got in, the receptionist did not find my booking made by hotels.com and neither did she find a booking of my friend made by booking.com. Finally she made some phone calls and a manager came and said that they needed some time to prepare our rooms (although it was almost 2am). We got both upgraded to superior rooms but the standard was really simple and ugly, with horrible red lights. The shower was between the toilet and the sink and the water was pretty cold. The room was clean though and the staff members were ok. Breakfast was very simple. Wi-fi was unstable but better up in the rooms than in the lobby. I was happy I only stayed there for one night.
