Brilliant bath - water pressure & temperature was great. Bathroom was huge, however toilet was dirty. Pillows were very flat, old & lumpy. When we phoned to request new ones we were advised the room already had adequate pillows & that they might not have enough spare ones. When we received new ones, they were exactly the same as the ones the room already had. The mattresses were very uncomfortable. The hallway to our room smelt very musty. Check in staff & night concierge were inattentive & uninterested. Very noisy traffic & pedestrians - room was not sound proofed. There was no information in our room regarding wifi, places to eat, hotel facilities, etc. The coffee mugs were dusty, as was the floor. Overall a really disappointing stay. Honestly couldn’t wait to leave. We had really looked forward to our stay.

The hotel is well located and the staff are nice. That is where the positives end - the upkeep is poor - the lift wasn't working and all communal areas stink of air freshener - it was thick and horrible to breath. The breakfast was terrible. The negatives far outweigh the positives so best avoided.

Mixed feelings about this hotel - guess it depends on which room you’re given. But very friendly and welcoming staff/front desk. Despite reviews that the rooms were refurbished, the room I was assigned to had many problems, and I doubt it was actually refurbished. The sealed windows had rain water sipping in, the mold on the walls beside the window is telling that this has gone on for awhile. The bed’s head rest does not fully go against the wall, so you can see a layer of dust when reaching to use the power sockets or switches beside the bed. The shower only had scalding hot water, was not able to shower. Informed the (same) friendly staff the next morning about the leaking windows, and he changed the room for me as I stayed more than 2 night. The next room was way better - window that opened (for ventilation) yet no rain sipping in when closed. Shower worked perfectly.
