눉Our bedroom (Executive double) desperately needed refurbishing. Very strange room layout - walk in through door straight into the bed. Fixtures and fittings were old and poor quality. Very ‘tired’ decor - stained bed base, thin mattress, stained old carpet. Bathroom very poor condition - sink basin cracked, mdf cabinet damaged by water, water damage to floor and ceiling, limes scale round taps and plug holes, flimsey toilet seat that falls on you when you sit on the loo! And Very creaky floor boards everywhere!

“Convenient location but rather run down.”
- • Solo traveler
- • Small Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The room was hot - sun in the hallway in the morning and full on the bedroom in the afternoon. The air conditioning did not work. There was a fan in the room but it was broken and the window could only be kept open by propping it with the garbage can. The whole building is very old and in great need of maintenance but a simple thing like closing the curtains of rooms that get full sun on a hot day would help.
눇The location and charm of the place.
