Very poor quality hotel.The windows wouldn't close in my room and rain had soaked the window sill and carpet. The TV signal was close to non existent and no breakfast was served. The only food available on an evening was all you can eat Chinese at £15 per head and an overpriced bar for drinks.

We went here for the Orient Express Buffet. The food is pretty standard British-style Chinese food: sweet and sour chicken balls, fried rice, BBQ pork, etc. There are also tempura prawns and sushi, as well as chips. I was pleasantly surprised by the curry sauce, as it had a bit of heat. The only dish I didn't particularly care for was the monk's vegetables, as they were somewhat overcooked. The drink menu is also larger than I expected, with lots of choices for spirits, beer and wine. Service was very friendly and prompt. Will be back.
