Furnishings are outdated, along with things like well placed outlets for convenient device charging.

Bathroom also clean but shower was uncomfortably small, floor slippery! One of the receptionists was an unpleasant young woman who reserved her smiles for management and had a completely inappropriate attitude for someone working in customer service! ##### Clive Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stuart 13 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent position in the city. Bars, cafes etc all very close. Clean rooms, efficient and helpful staff. Not the best value for money at over £200 a night, the room was small and the shower cramped. ##### Stuart Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna Mary 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well located. Some hubbub from young drinkers outside but OK. Old-fashioned decor but perfectly good provision. Breakfast not great - I ate it only once. Staff nice. ##### Joanna Mary Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clare 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I left too early to have breakfast ##### Clare Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joseph 16 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Whatever you do, don’t stay here! It’s terrible in every conceivable way!! ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Javier 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice hotel. You have parking in the hotel. Personal very good treatment ##### Javier Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandrine 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un bon choix Situation géographique optimale au cœur de la vieille ville. Belle terrasse où n’est servi que le petit déjeuner, c’est bien dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de service bar car la vue y est magnifique. Seul bémol, mauvaise insonorisation des chambres. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/206702bd-6fed-4da0-8643-b3e717105403-1754467545411.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e55c674-f377-402a-a432-57fcb826a0a5-1754467633187.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sandrine Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabian 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tolles Hotel direkt in der Innenstadt - alles Fußläufig erreichbar. Gute Parkmöglichkeit im Innenhof. Perfektes Hotel für einen Städtetrip! ##### Fabian Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tom 27 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### AWFUL SMELL, BED BUGS, TERRIBLE STAFF, AVOID!!!!!! Terrible dead animal / sewage smell in the room, when complained told to open the windows without apology. Asked to move rooms and was refused - despite there clearly being rooms available they said there were none. Incredibly uncomfortable bed with a paper thin blanket instead of a duvet. In the morning I found the bed has lots of small black bed bugs in. This hotel is possible one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in, and how it gets its rating it’s beyond me. Avoid this place if you value your health and hygiene. ##### Tom Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sabine 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is at a great location. The rooms are clean but you can hear a lot of noises from upstairs and outside. The breakfast was ok but not many choices. Parking onsite was great after you found it 😂 ##### Sabine Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ronnie 14 Jul 2025 My stay was fine, the staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a nice balcony area, with tables and chairs, overlooking the city. My room was a single and adequate but unfortunately, the shower was slippery underfoot and with no handrails. Dangerous especially for elderly guests like me. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/97e4e688-ad8e-46d8-9e4b-bbff390c1ab6-1752489764470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ronnie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alessio 7 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort tutto buono ##### Alessio Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Felix 21 Apr 2025 More possibilities to hang towels in the bathroom needed ##### Felix Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 19 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice location.

Special mention for the reception staff who were excellent. Rooms are a bit dated but do the job for short exploring stays ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marijke 27 Oct 2024 Disliked: Amenities The rooms need redecoration. ##### Marijke Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandra 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the parking the hotel offers, and the friendly staff. The room was old and dark. The view out of the window was a big wall. Disappointing experience. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Aberystwyth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberystwyth-Hotels.d182842.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grand Hotel Rimini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Rimini.h19695.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nijmegen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nijmegen-Hotels.d6129690.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ljubljana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ljubljana-Hotels.d2085.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Diana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-Hotel-Diana.h2529791.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostels Lancaster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hostels.d4673-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Social Hub Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Bologna.h53115672.Hotel-Information) > > [BLUESEA Puerto Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-De-La-Cruz-Hotels-Complejo-Blue-Sea-Puerto-Resort-Compuesto-Por-Hotel-Canarife-Y-Bonanza-Palace.h1111746.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chedi Muscat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muscat-Hotels-The-Chedi-Muscat.h916380.Hotel-Information) > > [Grande Albergo Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Piacenza-Hotels-Grande-Albergo-Roma.h2536122.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Bologna Centro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Mercure-Bologna-Centro.h3529.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Wells-next-the-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Next-The-Sea-Caravan-Parks.d6193376-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Ross Lake House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oughterard-Hotels-Ross-Lake-House-Hotel.h115373.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Rua Frati 48 in San Francesco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Modena-Hotels-Hotel-Rua-Frati-48-In-San-Francesco.h29775442.Hotel-Information) > > [Savhotel Aemilia Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Aemilia-Hotel-Bologna.h982401.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hereford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hereford-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4656-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [i-Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-I-Suite-Hotel.h4011654.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leela Kovalam, a Raviz Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-The-Raviz-Kovalam.h848868.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin San Jose](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Jose.h9242.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Rose Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-Le-Rose-Suite-Hotel.h1566584.Hotel-Information) > > [Savhotel Fiera Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Savhotel.h1414706.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Exeter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Exeter.h2636000.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Atlanta-Hotels-Renaissance-Atlanta-Airport-Gateway-Hotel.h16127448.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach front chalet on the exclusive 5 star Warren Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pwllheli-Hotels-Beach-Front-Chalet-On-The-Exclusive-5-Star-Warren-Holiday-Park.h33674099.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Tramore (WAT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/wat/london-to-waterford) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Wuhan (WUH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/wuh/london-to-wuhan) ### Activities > [Things to do in Novo Sancti Petri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Novo-Sancti-Petri.d6130047.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [West Blean & Thornden Woods](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Blean-Thornden-Woods-Herne-Bay.d553248621532509131.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Australia-New-Zealand-And-The-South-Pacific.dx6023180)
