I liked the fact that the hotel offers services liked selling transport tickets and airport assistant. The accommodation location was convenient for buses and close to Central. But the hotel is on the main road and can get very noisy from vehicles driving passes. Hotel facilities standard is poor, kitchen utilities were disappointed, kettle faulty, unsturdy pot handle, no chopping aboard, very few items that is usable. Had terrible sleepness nights and bad back due to soft mattresses and awkward, stick out wooden bed frames which caused bruise on my legs. The furnitures in the room were mixed and watched. We had two differences red oak dinning chairs and a very low black coffees table. I did made two requests for exactly what was on the website picture which didn't happen till half durations of our stayed. For windows European/ UK buildings standard regulations testing for safety I believe it is a failed. The windows locks keeps coming loose and two large panels opened inwards. The external windows were never been cleaned and the requested to have its clean was being ignored.

Old proprety, we were not given a good room. We noticed better rooms with balcony and easier access. We had to climb some stairs to get to the elevator and had to go down some stairs to get to our room.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has had some renovations but still a bit dated, which is fine by me just some pictures don’t represent that well but the room was nice and clean. Breakfast buffet was good, lots of selection. The only downside was we were not informed that the hotel restaurant was closed for the weekend prior to arrival or upon arrival. Overall great stay!
