Awkward for sure

It was just very awkward to check in and unclear where to park. The worst part was the shower drain was completely clogged and because there was no front desk we were unable to get it fixed. We all needed showers because it was so hot.

Roman

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Would score a negative if possible. Seemed like an illegal room, no proper door lock or windows. Was dirty, and sheets were thread bare. Better to pitch a tent in the park, and burn your money to stay warm. Will submit for refund when home.

Ok for a night or two

Hotel about 15 mins walk from Botanical gardens. Family house that has been converted into rooms. Room 12, X2 single beds at the back in a conservatory, tiny window in room and bathroom. Very little sound proofing in room or from above. Ok for a night or two, but no more.

Do not waste your money

This felt completely like a scam. Not at all like the photos. Will be requesting a refund. Mould everywhere, can see it and even feel it in the air. Place has not been cleaned and is in desperate need of refurbishment. Please see the photos attached and ask yourself if you will be more or less clean after going into this bathroom. Smoke detector also covered up - perhaps mould spores and detectors were triggering.

door was a little too heavy to open but to be kept closed. and bathroom bit too compact for my liking. However, room was very comfortable, easy to approach great and friendly staff over the phone and in lobby. Much appreciated for the bigger tv, as many hotel only give the small and cheap you can fine, so very happy it was big tv.
