On Arrival, the hotel (which isnt a hotel) was fully booked despite the owner calling us that week to verify our stay. He then tried to ship us to another hotel in the "group" (his friends i thought) after waiting outside for 20 mins for the taxi he was booking which didnt turn up i went inside to query the... more

Unfortunately my stay was booked by my Employer who is not smart enough to visit TripAdvisor before booking, although to be fair it was a trifle 'last-minute'. I have to agree with all those who criticise the place. It is very shabby, smells a little musty, double room was tiny - 10' square with the tiny toilet/shower room and tiny... more

The hotel seem to have been recently refurbished. The room wasn't large but it was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. The sheets and the... more

I would not recommend to others. Advertised as a hotel and charged hotel prices, but there are better B&B's available for a cheaper price. CONS: Paid extra through a hotel website, but was very dissapointed. Paid £70 for a double room en suite, but the bedroom was tiny (about 1ft space all around bed), TV was a rubbish portable, en-suite... more
