The room was very clean but the single bed mattress was a sinking ship. There was a lot of noise from the outside boiler, so not helpful to sleep. It's a pity that they provide a kettle and coffee tea products, however not a single bottle of water to make it. Being a 4 star hotel, they are lacking in star attention. The pool really needs updating, lots of scratches on the feet from damaged tiles and it requires a hat, which we didn't know and you have to pay for it. Breakfast was good, but more towards the 2/3 star standard. Nonetheless, the staff were really friendly and helpful. And when you have free undercover parking you have to be glad about it.
