I had booked a stay at your hotel in advance for a week without understanding before I approached the property that I had formerly been banned from the listing of the hotel chain. Nobody informed me about this in advance of me making the booking itself, and furthermore, I was told that I had to apply for a refund through the website where I made the booking instead of at the desk itself, delaying my return of the money owed me. Please could you assist me ASAP with this disservice.

Slightly noisy but well placed and comfortable

Friendly and inviting check in staff Comfy pillows and bed Plenty of restaurants, amenities and public transport in the area Walls are very thin so you can hear neighbours coming and going quite loudly as well as showers/flushes and other noise from other rooms. Had to keep the blinds closed most of the time as the windows overlook a courtyard so you can see into the hallway and other rooms
