It is a nice hotel for transit only. The staff were very helpful. ##### Luis ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 5 Dec 2019 Disliked: Amenities There is nothing special that I remember about this hotel but what made me so much disappointed with the stay that there was problem with shower . No Hot water, also no hot water coming in the shank. There was drainage problem in my wash room. I paid for 3 nights in advance but every next day my room key stop working for which I need to request them to send someone to my room for which I had to wait a long many times just kept staying outside my room. Horrible stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 5 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Low class hotel, pretty low class. Pretty low class hotel. Even for my "non high maintenance" standards. Sheets and towels were dingy, stuff on wall was broken. Access was difficult --location because of traffic was nightmare. Really need to think twice before heading here to see if you can afford something a little bit more expensive. The good news is/was the staff is very responsive and eager to please. My second reservation did not come through from Hotels.com so that could have happened smoother. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Isolde 3 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Dubious part of town. Lots of traffic. ##### Isolde Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 19 Sept 2018 Liked: Room comfort There had no reservations made. I do not like what happened. Do you know what it is like to be in a strange place and no room at 10pm ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samir 10 Feb 2018 Liked: Room comfort ##### Samir Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hôtel National Arts et Métiers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-National-Arts-Et-Metiers.h17754301.Hotel-Information) > > [Elm Grove Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-Elm-Grove-Country-House.h34547989.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vis-Hotels.d6084352.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Casa Carmen Morelos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oaxaca-Hotels-Casa-Carmen-Morelos.h26988340.Hotel-Information) > > [Ameri Plaza Tbilisi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tbilisi-Hotels-Ameri-Plaza-Hotel.h28920945.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday World Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benalmadena-Hotels-Holiday-World-Resort.h14655208.Hotel-Information) > > [Cathedral Gate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Cathedral-Gate-Hotel.h4902368.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Apollo Victoria Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apollo-Victoria-Theatre-Hotels.0-l6159487-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-Strathburn-Hotel-Inverurie-By-Compass-Hospitality.h12578746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels.d9061.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ayaz Aqua - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-Hotels-Ayaz-Aqua-All-Inclusive.h9592254.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton East Midlands Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Derby-Hotels-Hilton-East-Midlands-Airport.h21957.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlyon Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Carlyon-Bay-Hotel.h2175669.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Santa Lucia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Santa-Lucia.h540.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Dresden (DRS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/drs/london-to-dresden) > > [Flights from Munich (MUC) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/muc/man/munich-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Bishop's Stortford (STN) to San Javier (MJV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/stn/mjv/london-to-murcia) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Seville (SVQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/svq/london-to-seville) > > [flights from harry reid intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/las/flights-from-harry-reid-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Phnom Penh (PNH) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pnh/mnl/phnom-penh-to-manila) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Shanghai (PVG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/pvg/london-to-shanghai) ### Cars > [Van Car Hire in Stockton-on-Tees](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Stockton-On-Tees.d5700-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Packages > [Galeries Lafayette](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galeries-Lafayette-9th-Arrondissement.d6145095.Attraction) > > [Dubai Festival City Mall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Festival-City-Mall-Dubai-Festival-City.d6123360.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Ploumanach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ploumanach.dx6131973) > > [Visit Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington.dx6127327)
