We tried so many times to work with the property to change the dates related to our stay but they just wouldn't budge and had to pay an extra night. At the end, I don't think this hotel values customer service. From a room perspective, the first night (extra night we paid) the room was outdated and not too clean. They moved the family to a new room the next day which was better.

Disappointing
I don't think we'll be staying here again. Negatives: there were some issues with the bathroom – the hot tap in the sink had zero pressure so you had to turn the tap several times to get a weak stream of water. There was an unhygienic shower curtain in the bath which clung to you while you were trying to have a shower. I'm surprised they didn't think to install a shower screen. We could constantly hear the people next door or upstairs as the walls didn't seem very thick. On another note in the entire room there were only two power points, one of which was used by the kettle. This meant charging phones and laptops etc. was very difficult. Positives: the breakfast was quite good with a hot buffet selection and the usual pastries, toast and cheeses and ham.

It took half an hour to check in. Plenty of smiley reception staff, staring blankly at screens, achieving very little. Our room and surrounding corridors stank of frying onions (coming up through the fire escape). Otherwise, the room was comfortable. On the morning of departure, it took over 10 minutes to reach the ground floor, due to malfunctioning lifts - with the only alternative being an alarmed fire escape. All these points were mentioned to the receptionist upon checkout. The only reaction was “sorry” and another nice smile. Overall: a poor experience.

Shabby and old
Really shabby hotel, shower barely worked and couldn’t plug a lap top in to charge as socket position was so low. I tried to report the issue but the queue at reception was so long I had to leave. Window in room was old and had mould.
