Reviews
The rooms were extremely minimalistic, just the minimums that you need like a bed, table, TV, etc. The room and bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were also friendly.
The breakfast however was not amazing, consisting of a few meats, cheese, toast and eggs, but tasted good regardless. The dining room was also cramped. The game room could also do with some TLC, the arcade machine didn't work and there was only one ball for the table tennis table which was broken.
Overall, the experience at the hotel was good and would stay again.
