The Hotel was clean but I was very disappointed with the size of the room. It was VERY small and felt very claustrophobic due to the dark decor and the small size of the room and the FAKE WINDOW! there was hardly any room to put our bags down on the floor. I feel like the price was expensive in comparison to the spacious rooms I am used to for that price.

The hotel staff were nice, but the overall experience was not the best. In actual fact, we were left a little bit disappointed. The room was not ready when we arrived and so we ended up leaving our bags in the room for hotel staff to make it up for us. Came back to our hotel around 6pm after having walked around for a few hours and it still was not made up for us. We then had to tell staff to delay making up the room as we wanted to freshen up before going out for dinner. There was only one towel in our room at this point which we ended up sharing. Once we got back and the room was made up with the extra towel as we requested, we began to notice a few flaws. The fridge was not working. The drinks inside were warm and no light was on. I mentioned this to staff at reception on our way back to our room the following day and shortly after, without anyone even coming to look at the fridge, I received a response via WhatsApp to say, no don’t worry it is working! ... it definitely was not. After searching ourselves, we found the switch underneath the fridge to turn it on. The fact that nobody even came to look and told no it is working, when it clearly was not, was disappointing to say the least. However, to try and find light in this situation, staff did kindly offer to store our drinks in the fridge downstairs. To which we were grateful. We also noticed that the tap in the bathroom was EXTREMELY wobbly and was not at all secure! And in room coffee was not restocked

Small dusty cold room
The staff was polite and courteous however the room (101) was extremely cold when I asked about the heating I was told she would fix it and 5 min later she was back with a little heater for the room ! the door to the room did not close correctly and need a good hard push to make it secure. The term there’s not enough room to swing a cat really is true as it’s extremely cramped for 2 people. It was very dusty and the towels we used on the first night were folded and put back on the shelf instead of fresh towels. 4/10

Staff was excellent. The room, despite being the largest one they offer, was extremely small, had no windows, and didn’t have a working thermostat or way to close the bathroom door. It was pretty much like sleeping in an old caravan. I was told by the front desk that you had to switch the heat on or use the tile floor heater to warm up the room. If you kept it on it got very warm, if you turned it off it got very cold. Made for a horrible night of sleep

Tiny. Tiny. TINY room
Smallest room in the world. Looks awesome but not practical especially for 2 people with luggage. No lift. If you check in late you have to go through a small crowded bar with your luggage to a hatch and check in. Staff are very friendly. But couldn't wait to check out and move to a place where i could have the room to open my suitcase actually have a bathroom with a lockable door and room to put toiletries. Wont go back.
