Positive
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and staff was accommodating
the room was very small - not much space around the bed - feels like the room would be more suitable for single bed and single occupancy

Cons:

Small room

Pros:

The building itself but not our room

Cons:

On our arrival we got a very small, uncomfortable and warm attic room with a tiny window. We requested a room change and we were given a bigger and more comfortable room but still without a proper window

The fact we emailed prior to arrival that we would appreciate it if we could have two single beds we were informed on arrival that the place was full however we noticed a ground floor room with two bed vacant all the time we were there .

Overall friendly staff, condo
Pros:

Loved the room. Felt like I was being transported back through time with the older style decor. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom facilities were great.

Cons:

It is advertised that there is Air Conditioning but there is not. My only tip would be to take that off the website as it’s false advertising.

Bit too pricy for the hot box attic
Pros:

Hard to say what we liked as we got stuck in the hot box attic. It worked fine, just a pain and hot.

Cons:

Attic wasn’t great after how much we had to spend.

Pleasant stay, little pricey.
Pros:

The location was ideal for attending the F1 weekend.
We had the bus tickets and the hotel is a short 10-15 mins walk to the bus pick up.
The hotel is close to supermarkets. And has a small fridge in the room which was great.
The car park spaces just over 10 cars, but is on a first come first served basis. We were fortunate to get the last space when we arrived.
Room was clean and had everything we needed.

Cons:

Value of the stay seemed a little steep for what it was. But was more convenient than anything.
Information for checking out could’ve been clearer, as we needed to check out before 7am, but the main part of the hotel was locked, so it proved difficult and we had to ring the hotel number to find out how to check out. (Post the key in the letterbox).

It was ok but lacking in basic services
Pros:

Property was ok the room clean but no water in the room even one small bottle! Would have been nicer if linen was changed once or twice. For what we paid we had to use the same towels for 5 days!

Cons:

No Linen /towel service as above

Don’t spend your money
Pros:

The location was good but the whole building is dated and falling apart not worth the ridiculous amount of money we paid for one night £182

Cons:

Building in poor conditions, broken shower rails, crack on windows, paint pealing on walls. Stains in communal areas
