Andrew

Disliked: Staff & service
Hi, this was not a cheap hotel and the welcome was poor, the service in the bar and restaurant was disappointing, the room was very small and hot, the bed was uncomfortable, generally speaking a very uninspiring overnight stay.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Avoid at all costs

Extremely disappointing stay. The room was around 40°C when we arrived—no air con, windows shut all day, and the tiny fan did nothing. When we asked the front desk for help, we were told “heat rises.” To make things worse, loud wedding music played until midnight. There’s no mention of this on the website, and staff weren’t helpful when we raised it. Wouldn’t stay here again—uncomfortable, noisy, and poor service.
