  As above in review

  Whatever you do, don't stay at this hotel , it was dreadful. When we arrived nobody spoke english and we were shown into a room which was basically a cell. The room was so small l had to climb over my husband to get into bed. There was one light in the room and taped up together to over the live wires. Wallpaper was peeling of the walls, and also on the stairs, no toiletries and no-one came and cl… Read moreWhatever you do, don't stay at this hotel , it was dreadful.

  No backups of any emergency

  Not too good. I booked a hotel here the first night they check me in the wrong room.even I can’t sleep all the night. Another day when i speak to them thats I didn’t book that room so they changed. When i move to that room there is no water for all the night and the next too. They even don’t have any backup. Very disappointed.Not too good.

  Poor...no way does the website match reality

  Room 108...shower head/hose was broken and had to be hand held...room very small with minimal storage... wallpaper peeling off...old and tatty laundry...fridge that didn't work and was filthy...pile of cigarette butts outside the window, a previous guest was obviously using it as a smoking area... bank of Aircon units on the wall outside that were outrageously noisy and not in our control. Worst o… Read moreRoom 108...shower head/hose was broken and had to be hand held...room very small with minimal storage... wallpaper peeling off...old and tatty laundry...fridge that didn't work and was filthy...pile of cigarette butts outside the window, a previous guest was o… Read more

  Very poor hotel

  Really poor hotel. Cramped small room with dreadful smell in bathroom. No housekeeping in our 4 day stay . My request for clean towels and to empty the bathroom bin were ignored! Door opened onto fire escape and was full of cigarette butts. Booked with easyJet as a package but very disappointed. Would not stay again or recommend this hotel to anyoneReally poor hotel.
