The hotel was in good condition, however the heat pump didn't work, and one of the other visitors was playing a stereo with infuriating deep base late at night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the bedroom and bathroom was clean and comfortable for a 2 night stay, the shared kitchen was dirty and not enough cups and spoons etc. Although they have a sign that says clean your own dishes - this does not happen! (The sign was dirty) I was looking for dishwasher tablets (box was empty ) in a cupboard under the sink and found dirty dishes plus the shelves were broken and dirty. Taps are broken bins not emptied. Not a pleasant space!

Good value

Large clean and comfortable room. Close to shops and eateries. The only complaint is there isn’t someone on site when you’d expect them to be and nobody answers the phone if you need help.
