Oliver

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Had a very noisy room, heating didn’t seem to really work properly and was constantly too hot. Generally the hotel is very old, tatty and worn. Reception area is going through a refurb but other than that not much seems to be improving over the 3 times that I’ve stayed there during the last 12 months.
