Not great
Pros:

Location was good and the staff at reception friendly

Cons:

Very tatty, ripped carpets, tiles missing, chipped paint, broken blinds.
Can hear everything from other guests!
Noisy, people coming and going in and out and up and downstairs during the night.

Lower Ground floor rooms very dark and felt vulnerable on lower ground yard view room as a female guest on her own as out of the way of main body of hotel.

Καλή τοποθεσία, καλή σχέση ποιότητας τιμής, και ίντερνετ

Cons:

Μείναμε 4 βράδια και δεν μας άλλαξαν πετσέτες και σεντόνια, δεν υπήρχε μεγάλη άνεση για 3 άτομα και για τα πράγματα τους
