Location good. My room downstairs 216 terrible. Very dirty with sellotape holding lampshade and basin shelf together. Smells of oil and filters so blocked with dirt. Linen and towels v clean. Bed comfortable. TV dreadful.

Check in was straightforward and the receptionist friendly and helpful. Room was clean and tidy. The only negative point was that the bed was hard which caused some discomfort to my wife. Overall, for a last minute booking, we were very happy.

Super friendly and helpful staff, and easy checkin, comfortable room (if a bit old-fashioned) but clean, and all working. Recommended.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Comfortable bed but room in poor condition
I thought the room was in poor condition. The bathroom in particular was disappointing and many floor tiles were cracked and loose. The room carpet doesn’t quite meet the carpet runner at the bathroom door so the spikes of the runner aren’t fully covered - I found that out the hard way. While the restaurant is open, the room smells of oil which gave a bad first impression that is impossible to get past and has contributed to my overall negative opinion. The curtains in the room do give privacy but don’t block out light in the slightest. To be fair the bed was comfortable and it didn’t feel unclean. And the room was spacious. But I wished I’d booked somewhere else and even paused for a few minutes upon arrival to consider whether I could afford to write off the booking and find somewhere else (I couldn’t and didn’t). I thought this place was quite expensive for what it was offering. Perhaps other rooms in the hotel aren’t quite as disappointing so don’t just rely on this review, please do check out the others.

We made a late self check in but it was so easy. The directions for self check in were so clear , no difficulties. Very responsive and helpful! There were kind to save our luggages after checking out until we leave the town. It was a nice stay.
