£10 to turn on the air conditioning in my room...£10 to turn it on and then I can't change the temperature, turn it off or down from within my room.
Now, I understand from an eco perspective that limiting air con use might be a good idea, but it's so hot at the moment I'd have been more than happy with a fan but that wasn't even an option.
There was also no hand soap in the bathroom. I don't know about you but when I travel I carry shampoo and wash things but not antibacterial hand wash, so I dread to think how many people before me haven't been able to wash their hands properly in the bathroom. I've stayed in all types of hotels and budget hotels in my years and never have I not had hand soap or a fan. At least let us know before hand so we could come prepared, not travel across the country and then arrive once everything is shut and be unable to get anything.
If you are a larger person you won't get in and out of the bathrooms. Also don't expect a duvet as it's a sheet with another sheet on top, I don't know if they change that in the winter but I won't be back to find out.
Positives...decent location and the room was quiet as the hotel is set back and some trees muffle sounds from the road, so if that's important to you then don't rule this place out. I was just incredibly frustrated as the hidden costs after such a long journey and then wanting to wash my hands when I got in my room which I don't think is much to ask, maybe I'm wrong though hey
