" Breakfast was basic but nice . Great parking. Was quite noisy being on the first floor, a lot of noise outside . The rain in the pipes was terrible ! "
"Parking was good, but check in tried to charge extra for parking until i showed that booking said it was included. Fridge would freeze everything.
View from our balcony was non existent as a building has been built right in front of it. this did however reduce road noise."
"On arrival, the reception staff were polite. However, our experience declined the following morning when we discovered there was no power on one side of the room, and the lights and power sockets were not working. We reported this issue to staff before heading out for the day.
When we returned at around 9:20pm, our access cards were no longer working and we were unable to enter our room. There were no staff present at reception, so we followed the instructions provided and attempted to contact staff using the reception phone and the listed mobile number. Despite multiple attempts, no one responded.
As we urgently needed access to our room for the night, we contacted customer support for assistance, which took considerable time. Meanwhile, we continued trying to reach the property. At around 10:00pm, someone finally answered, and a staff member arrived at approximately 10:20pm — over an hour after we first tried to get help.
When we asked about the delay, we were told the call had only just been received and were questioned about whether we had followed the correct process. After waiting for such a long time, it was disappointing not to receive an apology.
Overall, this was a very frustrating experience, and we would not choose to stay here again."
