Stayed here for one night, pretty unimpressed on the whole. The hotel is clean but dated throughout. The shower was quite poor, as the shower head was not held tightly so kept slipping and spraying more of the wall than the shower area, not a major issue but a minor annoyance. In my room in particular the mixer tap was not fully functional as the temperature was not consistent. Otherwise the bathroom was functional and served the purpose for a short stay. The bed was comfortable and large, couldve had a nicer duvet for a 4 star but in the end this was the least of my worries. The main problem here was the room was unbearably hot, if the AC was not on the temperature would rapidly climb and even with AC I was not able to get the temp down to below 22. This coupled with the fact that the AC was louder than a jet engine made for a very uncomfortable night. If youre staying in winter this might be ok as the room was well insulated from traffic noises despite the busy road outside. I would not recommend the breakfast here, it was 18.50 and whilst it wasnt unpleasant, it was a basic cheap buffet and a much nicer breakfast can be had at the myriad brunch spots in the area for the same price. Finally, I was staying in a park view room and as you can see from the picture, I think what I ended up with was a car park view. So dont spring for that particular upsell if youre staying here. Overall a hotel suitable as a base for a business trip but probably more comfortable nights can be had elsewhere.
