What the website and hotel offered was an accessible room, what we got that was a room not as described by the website, the photos depicted large open room of high quality and what we were given was a dinghy room in desperate need of cleaning and refurbishing.

The hotel was very rundown and shabby. I was put into a disabled access room. The bathroom wasn’t clean when I arrived and the light switch was broken, meaning I couldn’t turn the light or fan off during my entire stay. Apparently, this is good “because the floor gets very wet in that room because of the open shower.” Between the bathroom light and the bright green exit sign right above the inside of my door, I got a terrible night’s sleep after a very long day of travel. Thankfully, I was only there for one night before moving on. I will not be staying at this hotel again.

Don’t Get A Chapel Street Side Room

The arrangement at front door means when it rains you have to run through a waterfall. Room very hot, opening windows means noise from Taxi rank till 3:30 in the morning followed by seagulls seagulling from 04:30

Great stay

Really great hotel stay. Staff were all lovely and helpful. Great location. Great room. Clean. All the amenities you need. Daily housekeeping. Great breakfast. Very busy at breakfast but managed to get all we wanted. Only downside was no decent fruit. Fruit bowl things mouldy. Apart from that a top stay. Would use again.
