Cons:

The accommodation provided was significantly below the standard advertised on your platform and below what would reasonably be expected of a property accepting paying guests.The issues experienced during our stay included.Extremely old and uncomfortable beds where the springs could be felt through the mattresses, causing pain and preventing a proper night’s sleep.
* A room that was visibly dirty on arrival, including crumbs, dirt, and spiderwebs.
* Broken glass left on the hallway floor, creating a serious safety hazard.
* Complimentary biscuits that were approximately three years out of date.
* Stained, old, and unpleasant-smelling mugs that appeared unhygienic and unsuitable for use.
* A persistent unpleasant odour coming from the bathroom.
* Visible nails protruding from the headboard, presenting a potential risk of injury.
* No formal check-in procedure. Staff did not request identification, take guest details, or complete any registration paperwork. We were simply asked whether we were another guest before being given access.

These issues collectively demonstrate serious shortcomings in cleanliness, maintenance, safety, and overall management. The condition of the property was not as described when booked through Booking.com, and the accommodation provided did not meet reasonable expectations.

I have photographs and supporting evidence of several of the issues outlined above and am happy to provide these if required.

Basic
Pros:

It was easy to book.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Rooms were comfortable, and basic.

Cons:

Breakfast only had cold choices except for toast, even the coffee was tepid.
Continental isn't for everyone, cold ham and cheese with a cold hard boiled egg just didn't cut it.

Nice hotel poor cleaning
Pros:

Staff were lovely, breakfast had a good choice for continental.

Cons:

The cleaness of the room was very poor, we complained and cleaner came in took hair out of plig hole in bath but didn't clean anything else. The bathroom was very dirty, hairs all over bath and walls, toilet was dirty at the back, shower curtain was thilthy, bathroom blind was very dirty, sink had all grim in it and cobwebs in corners of the walls. The throw on the bed had food stains, main room floor hadn't been cleaned there was bits all over it, light switches full of finger marks, blinds didn't work and bathroom window didn't close making it very noisy at night. Only half rhe spot light worked, snot down side of dress and remote control was stinking, TV full of dust.

Had there been air conditioning I would have no complaints.
Pros:

Location is perfect as long as you are aware a night club is right beside.
Staff were all super friendly.

Cons:

I refused to stay for free with family knowing it would be hot and I was willing to pay to stay where there is air conditioning. There was no air conditioning.
They came up to fix it mote than once however it never worked. They did bring me a fan as soon as I requested one however that is not air conditioning.
I would have stayed for free at many friends/families homes had I known there was no air especially on the top floor. Also the one shower I took there there was no hot water. It was hardly even warm. Luckily I showered elsewhere.

Absolutely lovely
Pros:

Breakfast was continental and was more than adequate. Room was huge and very comfortable. The young lady at reception was lovely, polite and very helpful. We were in the area for a funeral and we rang the hotel a week or so before our stay to ask if although check in was a couple of hours after the funeral if we could get in our room earlier to get changed. They said we could get in our room at 12, we actually arrived earlier than that and the room was still ready for us. Would definitely stay again. I've seen a couple of reviews complaining about the breakfast but for how cheap the room was i wouldn't even expect breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing

From the greeting at reception on arrival (Andy) to leaving time, we loved our stay.
Pros:

We were upgraded to the Richard Burton suite which was a very pleasant surprise
! The bed was emperor size and the his and her basins which backed onto a walk through shower area was stunning! There is also a freestanding deep bath in the bedroom which we didn’t use but looked inviting! The toilet was a separate room too for convenience. A very special room indeed. We didn’t have the continental breakfast as we woke up too late so cannot comment on this.

Cons:

We were very happy with everything on our stay. So nothing to complain about at all.
