Reviews
The lobby of the hotel smells of cigarette smoke and it’s situated in a grotty run down side street.
Do not waste your money staying here - spend the extra £20 or so and get one of the ‘5*’ hotels which are hopefully more like their ******* listings,
If you must go, I suggest you bring the air freshener. In rm 24, there is a hole 6x8 from the sewage pipe, the smell is like...mm just can't breathe, also bring the insects killer too, there were bugs crawling from the terrace into the rm.
The room was spacious, comforfable, well designed and had a great view (5th floor room).
One little thorn is the Breakfast which isn't very diversified, food was just OK.
