wouldn't return.
Pros:

There was a bottle of water in the fridge on arrival - not replenished.
The AC was good.

Cons:

This is not a 4 star hotel.
No breakfast or food or drinks on site. No bar common rooms etc or any form of facilities. You have a key code door a staircase and your room. an old lift with a sign that says dont use as we arent here to help if you get stuck. The reception said it was a converted house.
no 24 hour reception Closes at 21:00
The room was tiny.
Couldnt close the door when in a shower as too small. Shower door.
No access around the bed as it was crammed into a nook.
The TV didnt work.
No doors on the wardrobe.
The bathroom door didnt close - this would be aweful if sharing a room.
The taps in the bathroom were rusty.
The door needed replaced as it was cracked and didnt close.

6 nights....

The only twin room available is right next to the entrance so there may be some noise
Pros:

Self check-in worked perfectly. Some amenities in the room like fridge and coffee machine were very useful.

Cons:

The bathroom extractor fan doesn't seem to be very effective, as the bathroom gets very damp after just one bath. Even after several hours, the air still feels humid, suggesting that the ventilation could be improved.
