Was okay, clean room. Polite staff but was charged extra for being about an hour later checking in despite the fact it was up to 23:00 on the third party booking agent and we arrived just after 22:00. It said on the door when we arrived that it is up to 22:00, not 23:00 which caused confusion.

Couldn't even enter the hotel until 2pm as the staff don't let you in until earliest check in time. Very basic room at the very top of the building, hole in the ceiling of the bathroom, very low water pressure and a bathroom light that wouldn't turn off. Very outdated decorations. An old toothbrush from a previous guest left under the beds.And finally, bed bugs. I have been bitten all over my arms and legs and am terrified we've brought them home with us. Would never stay here again and would actively encourage against anyone considering it.

Wouldn't stay here again Scaffolding outside the room meant we couldn't open the window. The room smelt damp. To get the kettle to work we had to hold down the switch. |The room had clean towels and a nice hot shower. …

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!I booked a room at this hotel days before arriving.On the day I arrived, the young man at reception said the price had changed and tried to charge me more. He said management had told him he would have to charge more.When I asked when he knew this, he said a day ago.When I asked why he didn't tell me this a day ago instead of waiting until I was at the reception with all my bags on the day of moving in, he got aggressive and angry and very very harsh. He hid the card reader he'd got out to take my money and shouted WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? Then walked off.It's by far the worst customer service I've ever had. Absolutely atrocious attitude and manner. That's not at all how you treat people. Not just by hiking their bill on the day they're due to move in. But then by getting angry at them instead of being apologetic and doiing all you can to help.
