It has been more than one month since the deposit was supposed to be refunded, but I have still not received the amount.
Rooms need updating bathrooms need up dating broken shower room I was in was right above reception and all I could hear was the staff at reception desk
Room was adequate, clean and beds were comfortable. Great to have a proper hairdryer too! Staff friendly and attentive. Breakfast offered a good selection of cold/hot buffet options and there was always hot water for showers.
Biggest negative is the bathroom - it was a tiny narrow sink with a glass shelf directly above it. This made it really challenging to get your head above the sink it brush your teeth or wash your face. It would be far better to move the shelf to the side instead. The cleaning staff didn’t replenish the tea making facilities so there was nowhere near enough sugar or milk.

Stay here quite regularly. Staff always happy to help.
The staff was super helpful, gracious, and accommodating. Having a fully staffed 24 hour reception desk was great and really provided an extra sense of security and support if needed.
