Cramped and hot

The hotel is recently renovated. The delux single room is very small and cramped. The air conditioning was not working.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel room is extremely small. You could barely walk down the sides of the bed squeeze into a very tight bathroom and you couldn’t even sit on the chair really to use the laptop. The desk was so small. I don’t even know how they get to use this as a room to charge near £100 for and blood on the duvet cover and really noisy at night. This place is barely the size of my laundry cupboard at home.
