The photos looked intriguing of the exterior, but we found ourselves walking through a maze of hallways to get up to a very inconvenient now stairway. I expected two twin beds as it was booked as a double deluxe instead, it was one single bed in a small room . Breakfast was not included. There were spiders in the room when we asked to change the room, the proprietor said there were no other rooms available. I found that hard to believe as the parking lot was half empty at 12 o’clock at night.

Outside is beautiful, inside is tired, dirt smeared high traffic touch points. Needs an update. Bathroom light is motion sensor activated. 6 pot lights in bathroom and 9 in the main room. Brightest hotel room I have ever been in. Needs a good cleaning but bedding was clean.

Very nice, decent room, perfect for our needs, close to city center and airport. The only thing was that the fan in the bathroom and the little fridge were very noisy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very basic and dowdy with a very steep and very narrow staircase to climb to get there. The small toilet had a small shower cubical and the shower did not work properly, The toilet seat needs fixing too. There was a running water noise in the room all night which was not coming from the toilet. The carpark charge was a surprise and the £200 in total for the night was not even close to being value for money. I wouldn't even contemplate staying again.
The staircase is the only access to the room.......

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very little room. I booked a double room but it was very little and I was only given one bath towel and one hand towel. I was given a Very dark corner room. Super annoying motion detector bathroom light that noisily lighted up just by passing by it. However, it turned off while I taking a shower. I had to stop soaping once in a while to take my hand out of the shower stall to make movements and make it light up. The very old mattress was very creaky and very uncomfortable. I thought that the springs would come out at any given time. The breakfast has to be order the day before and it would only be served from 7 to 9 am. RIDICULOUS! Kotrina at front desk was very helpful

20-30 minutes Away from most sites. No heat in room, they did have a portable heater available. No hot water, I had to take a shower in another room. I would not stay again. Clean, near public transportation.
