Our room was cold when we arrived. It also could have done with bedside tables and lamps. The shower was set too high unable to turn down. The breakfasts were fine and the staff delightful.

Room was clean and although not big good enough for our needs. The toilet wouldn’t flush and shower temperature couldn’t be adjusted and was red hot. Hand basin was blocked too. We told this to the manager and he apologised and did address and fix all these things so I don’t have any complaints. For the price I’m not sure I’d stay again here though.

Great location. Room was outdated and bed was uncomfortable. It was quite noisy and there was no TV signal either. We arrived at 2pm as our confirmation said we could check in then but when we arrived, we were met by an abrupt guy who said check in was at 2.30pm. After few words we were able to check in. Breakfast was average and had to ask for our table to be cleaned. The young girl who served us was great but the rest just looked as if we had spoken in a different language. Overall, great location but wouldn't rush back.
