Nothing amazing, but good for the price. Privacy in the rooms at the ground level could be improved.

Spacious, clean & comfortable.
Great spacious room, sparking clean in a well maintained building. The bed was a bit on the springy side for me but comfortable nonetheless. Good shower & hotwater with eco-friendly soap, shampoo etc. Easy check-in and check-out. Nice to have the biscuits and a chocolate treat in the room, milk for the tea or coffee would have made it 100%

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
