The bathroom had mold in the shower and around the internal and external corners of the shower basin. The bathroom didn't have hooks or towel rails to hang the bath towels. The entrance area around of the building where the hotel room was, smelt of urine. The door handle of the building - which was supposed to be for security - where the room was, was broken and virtually hanging of the door. The ironing board didn't have a cover. I received a call to confirm my arrival time and was told that because I hadn't arrived by 7pm my booking was cancelled.

The large room with all the necessary accessories, milk, biscuits, shampoo, conditioner. One of the lights needs a new globe, a little more hot water pressure. Overall a good stay with a comfortable bed. Thanks.

Upon arrival, our allocated room had not been cleaned or made up and it was too late in the day to do so. We were allocated to another room which was on the Bell Road side and very noisy. The bed in this room was also very uncomfortable. The next day, we were shown to our new room (different from previous check in room) but the TV didn't work and could not be fixed, so we were then moved to yet another room! 4 different room for a 4 night stay, having to pack and unpack all our luggage each time. Nor t happy but at least the staff was very helpful and we did get one night refund.

Really convenient location, decent size room, and bathroom amenities were a nice touch. However, kitchen was a bit limited (could have used a sink, or more bench space), and the promised free wifi did not work.
