The heater in room 7 was not working properly and there should be a light in the cupboard where the tea and coffee making area is.

Great value for money. Stayed in an original room with stunning wallpaper. Bit noisy from patrons downstairs and no internet on tv, but not an issue for 1 night.

The room in photos lokks many times better. In real life one of the smallest and dull rooms ever stayed in. The hotel was almost empty and they gave us a room with a view to solar panels. Very disaapointing
