Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Check in was very smooth and reception staff polite and friendly. I booked this hotel as I had an online exam to take and needed quiet and good wifi. The room was on 3rd floor and although it was peaceful (no sudden loud noises or screaming children), the wifi connection was awful. It kind of defeated the whole purpose of my stay. I had to purchase unlimited data from my network provider and hotspot my laptop for 2 days. Getting onto netflix or youtube was not possible unless waiting forever for connection. Bathroom clean and equipped with toiletries. Could have done with more loo roll bit easily solved, just asked reception. Bed was comfortable, linens not highest quality but sufficient. Lots of reataurants on doorstep. A pleasant stay minus poor wifi.
Staff friendly enough, hotel very clean and tidy, but TV never worked the 2 days we were there despite the reception saying they would get maintenance to check it out. They never did. The sensor light in bathroom literally stayed on for 10 seconds before switching off, mid shower. Probably closer to giving 4 stars than 2!
Accommodating staff, with complimentary breakfast unfortunately the bread isn’t freshly baked and parking is the only downfall but overall we had a comfortable stay.
The room was convenient and spacious and the air conditioner was perfect.

My stay
The hotel was nice to stay at. Location was amazing, most of the staff were friendly. It was nice for them to give complimentary breakfast (continental breakfast).
However, they could improve by adding the following:
- extra pillows / blankets
- the carpets were not so clean
- no phone to contact reception
- extra towel (only one bath towel per guest)
- no safe to put valuables
- no luggage rack
- windows that cannot be opened
- drain smell in the bathroom (room 203)
- an actual double bed rather than two single beds
- soft mattress
Horrible experience. Disrespectful staff. No respect for privacy. Booked 4 nights but had to check out right after the first night as the place was unhealthy and I didn’t feel safe - and they refused to refund.
