Great location, lovely apartment, clean and pleasant. However stay was very uncomfortable due to heating being on full blast and unable to turn off, plus mattress is well overdue replacement and super uncomfortable, so terrible nights sleep. We did mention to the cleaning and reception staff, and it appears that this was not new news!

We booked what we thought was a room with king size bed, it turned out to be an apartment. Nowhere on the booking or the website say that the apartment was in a different location to the hotel. Reception explained where it was & gave us 3 keys. When we got to the road they’d sent us to there was nothing to say anything about queens hotel so we had to ring hotel for more directions. We had to unlock a gate to get it which was very difficult to open, then unlock an outer door & then climb 2 flights of stairs. Apartment was very clean but had single beds. Had a dressing table but mirror was so far into the corner of the room there was hardly room to dry my hair. There was a double plug under the dresser but only one worked & there was no light on or around the dresser & no light directed to it. Was a very dark corner & there was no telly in the bedroom.
