7.8/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
The room was cold (I didn’t realise you had to turn the heating on). There was very heavy rain and the noise on a flat roof outside our window was unbearable. We changed rooms at midnight. The following night a Turkish wedding with drums until midnight. Shower great. Beds comfortable. Towels have seen better days. Receptionist very helpful
