Few problems during the stay of 2nights. Window latch broken. No cold water out of the basin tap. Shower trickling. However although these issues arose the professional staff were fantastic. From the time we arrived till when we left, we were treated exceptionally well. Fantastic customer services!

Feels in need of modernisation - creaky floors, doors which shut with a bang, lift not working. But staff were friendly and the room very comfortable. For the (low) price, it was fine.

A decent place
The friendly and helpful staff ensured I had a comfortable stay, the room was chilly one night, as the heating didn't work and the staff supplied a heater immediately, the shower was rather small but suited me fine, overall I got a good deal on the room and have no complaints, the hotel is clean & cosy.
