Horrible experience

Hotel opened this week but was far from being ready. No WiFi and no breakfast facility. Room was on 4th floor with no elevator. No air conditioning and impossible to open the window more than a few centimeters. Cheap material and tiny bathroom. It is a real shame it is listed as 4;stars but no indication given of the real state.

Sep 14, 2023

There is no elevator so you have to carry your suitcase up to four flights of stairs unassisted. There are no views from the rooms, only a sign warning you to keep the window closed as they “have a problem with bird poop” There is no air conditioning, fridge, hair dryer or ironing board The rooms are very small and the bed and pillows were hard and lumpy

Hotel was good. Staff were helpful. Location is excellent. If you struggle to carry a heavy case ask for a room on lower floor level. There is no lift and no reception cover at night. As I was leaving at 6.30 am I asked for help with my suitcase on departure from reception and no help was forthcoming. I asked again. From the evening receptionist and he was very helpful, although stated that as there is no one on duty overnight was not possible so I was moved to a room on the first floor, resulting in me only carrying heavy case down one flight of stairs. Could be a problem for some.

Wouldn't stay here again

Wouldn't stay here again. The room was clean & beds comfortable. However, I booked a family room & the room we had certainly wasn't! Room was very small & single beds very close together, it was small even for 2 people. Also, nowhere for clothes etc apart from a very small rail with 1 coat hanger. Couldn't have stayed for more than 1 night. Something else that seemed odd was the hotel staff pushing to be paid in cash in return for a small discount. There are better hotels around.

Lovely room

Bit noisy outside during the night but we didn’t realise the window was ajar, which probably didn’t help! Room was lovely. Great views. Bed very comfortable
