This was the worst hotel stay ever. How this hotel qualifies to be a 4 star is beyond belief. It is damp and mouldy, and in a very shoddy state of repair

Booked a room in the double room and im afraid it was pretty noisy as you could hear whatever was going on in the other room. But soundproofing against other rooms is superb. The aircon is not good but the heating is very good Gym is good Breakfast is good variety Room is very clean, sheets are very clean no dust Overall the pros outweigh the cons
