Had to move rooms three times, its hostel accommodation one side and not until we complained we were moved to main building and was given room keys to someone else’s occupied room, which we only found out when we walked into their room ans saw all their belongings, horrific and wasted most our time moving around on the Friday. I have made a complaint and expect a full refund as we were told at the hotel ! Also our handle on the door on the third room was nearly falling off. Not a secure place to leave your belongings! We were told the second part of the hotel is going under renovations…… I don’t think so I think they put customers in that building first and keep the main building for families etc. not acceptable standards for safety in terms of we could have walked in that room and disturbed people it’s a good job they were not in their room cos I think they would be fuming that their belongings were left open to complete strangers in a hotel ! Never again and as stated I’ll expect a full refund as promised by your staff members at the hotel as we paid on arrival ! Should I not receive a response soon I’m taking it further.

The cleanliness of the room was not great on arrival, very stained carpet, couple of marks on the bed sheets, and a drain smell from the shower. Bed was actually pretty comfortable and room was quiet. There was a problem at check-in, the hotel had not received our booking, but they sorted this pretty quickly.
