Stayed 1 night

The facility is undergoing major works (two storey addition, with scaffolding). My room (ground floor) was nicely renovated, the kitchette was odd - cups and plates at floor level on shelf (I literally resorted to a bowl for my Uber eats as I could not get to the undelying plates), and little bench space. Had to rinse my dishes in the bathroom basin. Wifi was very poor strenght.

Room had been recently refurbished - the paint smell was a little over-powering. The shower toiletries had not been replenished before our stay - but there were some nice mini shampoo/conditioner/body wash complementary on the basin. Just would have been nice if the ones in the shower had not been empty.

Check in was fast & the receptionist was friendly. The shower pressure was awesome, just be careful of the hot water heat. The room was clean & tidy & I didn't hear any noise from other guests (although I think there was only 1 other staying at the time). Convenient location. The bed was too hard.

On arriving at the hotel, it looked run down and significantly uninviting. The reception was unattended and after waiting for a few minutes I knocked loudly and then called out loudly. Still no-one. I was walking away from Reception when somebody appeared saying they were doing the laundry and hadnt heard me. HOWEVER. The room was fantastic, comfortable and clean and a really great experience.
