First night checked in room was smelling of damp, hanging electrical wires and television didn’t work, furniture was very dusty. Staff I came across at checked in was excellent. Other staff were ok whom I came in contact with, I’ve went down to the lobby area as I were out of those little sashay of milk the girl on the front desk was too busy on her phone to give me the milk so in the end I went to Cole supermarket and purchased some milk. Room furniture was very dusty needed a good deep cleaning.

Service was fantastic. Only thing that could be improved upon is that our shower didn't have a door or curtain, so water often leaked onto the bathroom floor. Overall a really smooth check-in and check-out process 🙂

Great location and friendly staff, but the room was very small (no bedside table on one side and had to put the kettle on the floor to use it). I used the top of the wardrobe to store one suitcase but when I retrieved it a load of dust came down too.
