Reviews
Our room had 3 single beds ( 2 adults and a 6-year-old). The location is good and has easy access to public transport and restaurants.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a pleasant stay; 1) breakfast was so ordinary considering how much they charge.
2) Pillows were flat and no duvets/ blankets and the bathroom wasn’t clean( we had to report this) they cleaned the bathroom with bleach which I wasn’t happy about because my son has Asthma.
3) On our third day the hotel experienced plumbing issues and the water went off for the whole day. No honest information was passed to the hotel guests. Throughout our stay, I had a fear that the water is going to stop during our shower. So, we didn’t have a peaceful shower time at all.
We considered changing hotels but because we pre-paid we would’ve faced losing lots of money.
4) Hotel staff weren’t as welcoming which is so important for hotels.
If you want to book this hotel please think again.
