Booking.com need to do due diligence on properties they list as all we have to go on is what we see. Definitely would no
Pros:

Room was large.

Cons:

Rabbit warren to get to room which was basically basement level. Stairs which weren’t mentioned. No reception staff. Mini bar kept turning itself off. Tv kept freezing on first day then came good. My medications thankfully stayed okay but are supposed to be kept refrigerated and would have been expensive to replace. Four star rating a joke! Felt very unsafe to leave room at night plus pool not available but restaurant had reopened but we didn’t use it.

Appalling hotel, dont stay there.
Pros:

Restaurant and bar were OK, but you couldn't just have a drink, you could only drink if you dined. Meal was decent.

Cons:

Everything else. Run down. Pool was empty and putrid. 'Gardens' neglected and barren. 2 rooms booked. Both were downstairs in the basement near the gym, and only accessible by firestairs and heavy doors. Disgraceful if you were at all disabled.

Very poor service.
Cons:

Upon arrival, a departing staff member informed me that the hotel had flooded and that rooms were no longer available. No attempt had been made to contact me in advance. I have since been unable to reach the hotel regarding a refund.
