The only downfall was there was absolutely nowhere in the room to put clothes, there were drawers but they were glued shut, no hooks or hangers, and there was no hairdryer when we were told there should be. But great hotel, great location and great staff. My friend is coming back next week!

we stayed for two nights our room was a perfect size for 3. the room was fresh and tidy could do with another side cabinet or shelves over-all good. bathroom wasn't the best but it didnt spoil our stay. its not mention before booking but there is a small charge to use the pool. honestly tho if its not busy use it.. the pool water was clean clear and to my surprise it was warm. staff are helpful and friendly. wifi was ok not the best we didnt eat but breakfast smelt good. its walking distance to the tower also outside the hotel is a tram and bus stop both are regular.
