8.8/10 Excellent! (56 reviews)
The listing stated there would be eggs and bread for a self made breakfast. This couldn’t be further from the truth, I saw no sign of the eggs or bread and was not shown a kitchen. Not what I was expecting at all. Please can I be reimbursed for this difference.

Having stayed at this hotel approximately a dozen times it’s been the last few visits that I have to ask every evening for clean towels and coffee refills! They then still don’t give the room any attention! Light bulbs missing from bedside lights! Very basic maintenance and housekeeping!
