They need to give a honest description of the place

Room large and warm, bed comfortable

Said private parking but was public car park which cost 17. Very noisy as single glazed room next to major roundabout. They did send an email after booking was made saying that would be noisy but did not give an option to cancel the booking. No sheet provided for sofa bed.

Pleasant

Mixed bag too expensive for what we got

Location, spacious room excellent internet. Walking distance to most sights and nightlife. Train station a hundred feet away.

Stayed 4 nights, ran out of TP after 3 nights, lack of room cleaning & fresh towels. Kitchen area was minimally ready, no plates or utensils, no cleaning stuff. Noisy at night, emergency sirens seemed to be going a lot - near local hospital. Seemed like the place was not finished, curtains were sloppy, no rugs, rooms empty to point of echoing Rushed the finish to get paying customers?

I was expecting a slightly larger bed

I want a complete refund as it was dirty & a disgusting place to spend the night.

NOTHING - it was disgusting & an awful experience,

I booked a King Suite but the room was NOT as described. The photo is laughable - I wonder where they got it!! They upgraded us to a room which they had not finished building! There were wires sticking out the wall. No internet, no tables/cabinets, no beside beside lights - just a main light with a bare bulb. There was an old closet, no drawers, no full mirror, just one small one propped against the wall on top of the toilet in the bathroom. Also the floor in the shower was uneven and wobbly- I could have slipped badly. There was no breakfast! There were sachets of coffee but the long life milk was off! The entrance was up one flight of stone steps & along an alley with dustbins before climbing another steep flight of stone steps. The main hotel door was shabby with peeling paint & there was a combination lock. Once inside the paint was again peeling off the walls. The rooms were up another flight of stairs- with our luggage & no lift. There was no reception, no staff, no person to greet us just a guy on a telephone! It was the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in & no hotel car park. All the posted reviews were made on the same day & are phony. It was an awful experience. Our stay was on June 3rd 2023 for one night. This was just an old building - it should not be available to the public. Unfortunately, we couldn't find another hotel in the time.

10 mins into town which was handy , but lack of sleep means I wouldnt stay again .

it was warm

The room needs some tlc. Bathroom tiles around shower are broken and toilet cistern drips continuously . Its extremely noisy due to traffic and people walking home and shouting . maybe I should have researched it better as I didnt realise it was on a busy island , but thats my fault . Parking is a few mins walk but its on a big public car park

Exceptional

One of the best hotels ive been to with a mini apartment theme.

- Room was like a mini apartment set up. - any problems the hotel manager was a phone call away. - didn't need to deal with no one once i had arrived, just a key code access to both the hotel and room with a secure feeling. - rooms very large with everything you need for a longer stay if needed. - easy parking and directly in town. - i travel for a living and this hotel was overall one of the best i have stayed, very hidden location with a easy access plus i didn't hear or see anyone within the hotel.
