Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple guests reported dust, smoke smell and generally poor cleaning in some rooms, though a few reviews noted rooms as 'extremely clean' — overall leans negative due to recurring cleanliness complaints.
Service
1
Staff are frequently described as polite, helpful and pleasant; however there are isolated reports of no reception interaction at checkout and refusal/no staff for breakfast. Overall service sentiment is more positive than negative.
Location
1
Several reviewers praised the location (close to station, convenient, good location). One review reported a misleading address, but the majority highlight location as a strength.
Room Quality
1
Beds/mattresses were often described as comfy, but issues such as no heating, noise until early hours and need for refurbishment reduce the room-quality sentiment.
Amenities
1
Frequent complaints about lack of breakfast service, no heating in some stays, and unexpected paid parking indicate amenity shortcomings.
Value for Money
1
Some guests call the hotel good value, but unexpected parking charges, poor breakfast/amenities and reliability issues lower perceived value overall.
Food and Beverage
1
Multiple reports of cold or uneatable breakfast, refusal to provide hot breakfast, and lack of breakfast facilities outweigh isolated positive comments about variety.
Overall Experience
1
Reviews are polarized: many enthusiastic comments about staff, comfort and location contrast with very negative accounts (missing property, no heating, poor cleanliness). Averaging the mixed but often-strong positive staff/location impressions yields a net positive overall experience.

Pros:

I liked everything. The rooms were extremely clean, the mattresses were very comfy. Just too good to be true!

Cons:

When I was checking out, I would have wanted to tell someone that I had left so that he or she can verify that I had left the room in the condition it was supposed to be. I found it weird to just leave without seeing anybody at the reception. All in all the hotel is the Best! The word 'Best' is an understatement.

Cons:

You could smell someone.had smoked.in the room. Don't think they know what a duster is, loads of dust everywhere and could have been a bit cleaner. No facilities at all to get breakfast, as they couldn't get anyone to sort food out, so just the bedroom and no breakfast which is really not exceptable for a hotel. However ther is a McDonald's right out side.
