Facilities were average but that is reflected in the price and basically what we expected. However, the location is fantastic, easy to walk to town. We did a lot of steps but saved us money!

Not a place we would book again.
Cheap accommodation. Insufficient seating or space available for the 6 adults booked. Lounge area that was shown in photos appeared to have been converted to a 3rd bedroom. Beds were cheap, nasty and uncomfortable. There were 2 bathrooms.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Wasn’t to bad. Bed was really uncomfortable, like all springs. Pillows were very flat. Place was clean and tidy. No atmosphere really. Walls were very thin so you could hear the conversations in the next room. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Elevator to the 19th floor was a bit crunchy lol. There wasn’t much a round the area. We ended up ubering everywhere as it seems to be down a hill in a no exit. It was fine, a roof over my head for the night. Can’t complain.

Staff were quite rude and unfriendly, bad experience dealing with them. Rooms were average with lots of paint work needing fixing up. Beds were very creaky. Definitely only good for a very short stay.

The property doesn’t pretend to be what it isn’t, which I can respect. But the very dated furnishings and extremely poor internet (which is additional) needs to be addressed.
