Esperienza negativa purtroppo
Pros:

La posizione, l'accoglienza della reception

Cons:

​Esperienza estremamente deludente. L'alloggio presentava un grave problema strutturale: ad ogni scarico del WC, l'acqua risaliva parzialmente dalla doccia. Un disservizio inaccettabile, specialmente a fronte di un costo di 107 £ a notte. A peggiorare la situazione è stata la totale mancanza di attenzione verso il cliente: la struttura non ha neanche pensato di offrire la colazione a titolo di risarcimento morale, facendocela pagare per intero. Per cifre inferiori (90 £) ho soggiornato in strutture con servizi eccellenti, inclusi palestra e area svago. Sconsigliato

Deeply embarrassing as I had booked rooms for visiting American family
Pros:

The cooked breakfast was very good. The buffet was poor and the only staff member on duty clearly overworked and under strain . I have never been asked to pay £2 for a hot chocolate for a non coffee drinker with an all inclusive breakfast rate

Cons:

Don't under any circumstances book a room in the annex. It is a dilapidated shed . The rooms ( but not the bathrooms) have been done up and are small but well appointed. The surroundings are terrible. The rooms are accessed down a scruffy narrow path past an unkempt area . The windows look directly at the fire escape. The shower in one room leaked all over the floor ( although in fairness the duty manager readily moved us into the main building ) . The toilet in the other room didn't flush properly and the wi-fi in the so- called ' annex' didn't work - avoid!

Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Spent over £250 for 2 nights and was given a room in what can only be described as a garden shed. The room had a strange smell and is in desperate need of a good paint/clean. They can claim the hotel to be old fashioned all it likes but that's no excuse for worn out furniture and generally poor conditioned bedding/towels. Given the price paid, I expected a lot more from my stay here (such as a window that could actually function) however was left very disappointed.

Company amazing. Hotel owner needs to invest to bring it back to it's glory,
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Tried to put me in the "annexe" room which was like a row of a garages in the car park. After complaining I was moved but had to pay additional £30. They were not happy moving me to room within hotel itself but did so in the end.
Dirty cotton bud on the floor
Very tired hotel which is really sad as it could be spectacular with owners willing to invest.
Staff not an enthusiastic bunch of people
Room was nicely laid out with tea and coffee amenities. Bed was comfy
