8/10 Very Good! (9 reviews)
The entrance to the hotel is very run down. All the reception staff seemed to teenagers with varying levels of English spoken which caused confusion. There was a power cut (?) so the restaurant was closed (disappointing) and the fridge in my room didn't work, pretty bad considering the temperature outside. I was disappointed in my stay as I paid about £180 for one night. I would expect better for that expense.
