Liked: Cleanliness
The staff were friendly and courteous, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom, unfortunately, is showing signs of age with a number of patch repairs to the wall and messy silicon application to gaps in the shower. This didn't affect our stay, but did detract from the overall presentation of the room.

Would have preferred king bed not to be two beds joined together to make a king. Continental breakfast was great value for 10.00 per person and great to be able to store luggage.

Anna

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We were not happy with the room (a "Superior King"). It was nothing like the picture advertised. It had no windows. I immediately called reception to ask for the room we booked - i.e. one with windows - and was told I would have had to request this specifically in the booking. This is absurd of course - there was no way to know this, since the room advertised had a lovely big window (with table and chairs, which also weren't there). I was then told there was nothing else available and that was it. Using photos that are completely different to the room you get is deceptive. Also, there's not enough privacy between the room and the bathroom as the door doesn't fully close.

Room smelt musty, air conditioner didn't work properly, old style rattler above the door(not cleaned very well) while hotel has elevators you still need to do stairs to a number of rooms which was not expected. Bathroom was very small with no were to hang towels aextraction fan didn't work.
