Very enjoyable stay. Was disappointed not to be able to experience breakfast. I queued for a long time but had to go. Nice touch with the shop in the reception area not so expensive! The complex has its own pub, but the sound of them emptying the bottle bins at night pierces all of the rooms looking over the central courtyard. However, I would totally stay again. It was really good value.

Lovely but take earplugs

Stayed 3 nights to sightse in the capital. Lovely friendly check although it was very busy at 2pm, nice clean 3 bed room, with kettle and tea/coffee, immaculate shower room nice fluffy towels. Room smelled amazing, lovely bubblegum/fruity smell. Nice comfy beds with thick mattress toppers and room was nice and warm . The down side: Room faced onto busy road, it was exceptionally loud on a night due to single glazed window, Almost unbearly loud for sleep, so take ear plugs.

Check in very proficient considering large hotel and checking in at peak time. Room spotless and bathroom well stocked. Bed mattress was a little tired and sagged in the middle, but it was a large bed that gave lots of room. Stayed in room 2019 that was noisy from immediate neighbours. Plaster board area by wardrobe and mirror/hairdryer not good for sound insulation. Maybe we were just unlucky with our over talkative neighbours , but worth a mention. Breakfast was buffet style and lots and lots of choice. Well organised in the dining room. Check out very easy.

Ok for a short stay

The staff were very friendly, and eager to assist. Once past the reception the hotel itself is very tired. Worn carpets, damaged doors, dated furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. We didn't bother with the shower, the head was very high up for us and not adjustable.

Really like staying at this hotel, but on my most recent stay, I was awoken at 1.30am by approx 20 teenagers running up and down the corridor and banging on all the rooms. My door was banged several times and I felt unsafe as a lone female guest. I could not sleep because of the noise and the banging on my door.

It’s underwhelming

I was underwhelmed with this hotel. It was clean and the staff were friendly enough. But our room was really noisy (outside noise, other guests being noisy and the heating system was noisy!) The breakfast was basic. The room was basic. Overall, just very basic.
