"We had a superior room was a very quiet room/stay, the bed was comfortable and had a good sleep. Bathroom was ok not much room to sit on toilet as squeezed in to the corner of the room right next to the door. The shower screen had a gap between the glass so water would leak on to the floor also mould on the tiles and ceiling as fan did not work. All of the above Reported to reception when leaving. This didn’t affect our stay would stay there again. Breakfast had a good selection but one coffee machine was not great as there was always a long queue. The Hotel was in a great position central to everything. 7/10 rating."
