Sad face IconDisliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Comically small rooms
Fine if you’re under 4ft, bring a helmet if you’re over that height. Harness for scaling the four flights of steep stairs would also be useful. Also smelt of sewage which was nice.

Poor experience
Confusion with booking as hotel tried to cancel one room on day of arrival and had to insist we had both rooms for our family arriving after a long journey. Hotel reception tried to blame overbooking with hotels.com although booking was made 4 days prior to arrival. Difficult for elderly people to get around. Room very small and very cluttered, plug socket adjacent lamp and room mirror not suitable 3 pin type for using for a hair dryer. Bathroom very small and uncomfortable to use in room 16. Although bar staff and waitering staff were all helpful and excellent. Quite noisy from bar below room in very early hours
