Would not recommend.
Pros:

Centrally located

Cons:

It was possibly the worst hotel we’ve stayed at. No TV or aircon worked consistently. The rooms smelt, they were small and musky. Facilities are aged. It felt like being trapped the whole stay. Tried to find alternate accommodation after check in but couldn’t at short notice for a group our size. Would not recommend.

Pros:

Good location comfortable room

Cons:

Tv remote was so basic there was no guide. So lots of channels but no idea what was on each channel until you clicked on it. Due to extreme weather we spent plenty of time in our room. Also aircon/heater didn’t work in our room

Excellent hotel with everything at my fingertips
Pros:

As a solo traveller, I appreciated the safety and extra lock inside the room. The restaurant was divine and the breakfast buffet was well catered. Extra little touches elevated overall experience, ie: decent sized cups in thr room, simple to use remote; individualised air con; bathroom supplies; good quality linen; mini bar and snacks; friendly and responsive staff

Cons:

Leaving
