Overall, this wasn’t a great stay. The hotel felt very basic and quite worn for the price charged.
The hotel is in need of refurbishment. The woodchip wallpaper, carpet tiles and general décor feel dated and are no longer what most guests would expect. There was also a noticeable musty smell in the corridor throughout our stay.
Our room had several maintenance issues. The window hinge was broken, making it difficult to leave the window tilted open for fresh air, and the room door had to be slammed shut as it wouldn’t close properly. It was warm during our stay and, although there is no air conditioning, a fan was provided which did help.
The room itself was lacking in basic facilities. Although tea and coffee-making facilities were provided, there were no cups or spoons in the room on arrival, which was inconvenient.
The bathroom was disappointing. Water pressure was poor, and the mixer shower constantly fluctuated between hot and cold without being adjusted. The shower curtain also made the bathroom feel dated.
The outdoor play area for children is very worn and could do with updating.
Breakfast was expensive considering the limited selection on offer. The evening meal options in the hotel restaurant were also quite limited. Although the restaurant was almost empty, we were told we should have booked in advance, which seemed unnecessary. Reception staff were pleasant and welcoming, but some of the other staff were not particularly friendly.
One point worth mentioning
