Stay and room was fine. Staff was cordial and helpful. A few improvements can be done: 1. Room air conditioning is very noisy throughout night intermittently auto switching off and on for temperature regulation. 2. Breakfast options are too limited. Only white bread, no porridge. Very few vegetarian options

Stayed 1 night

The beds in our room were set back in a recess behind the window which meant that a strip of light between the curtains and the wall lay across our eyes from sunrise. So frustrating! Breakfast lovely and really diverse considering it was free but it was completely chaotic and almost impossible to get a sausage no matter how long or how many times you queued. Sign in the lift said the emergency button didn’t work and provided a number to call but couldn’t get any signal if we’d needed to. Room well equipped if a bit shabby. Really noisy from very early morning onwards because the flushing of loos made a really loud creaking sound throughout the whole building.
