One to avoid
Pros:

Excellent Location

Cons:

It’s not clean, very poor hygiene. The hotel smalls a bit damp all over. We had a ripped duvet on arrival. The tv wall mount had about 2 years on dust on it. The whole place smells of damp.
I had to extinguish the cigarette box in the smoking area, it was on fire.
