Disappointing
Location was good for our needs and parking was acceptable at front of hotel
Rooms and general hotel in need of maintenance, very tired looking interior both in the general area and room. Items within room missing i.e. TV remote control battery cover missing hence batteries kept falling out, picture from wall missing, windows of poor quality and wardrobe doors not functioning properly. Bedding of poor quality. Breakfast was basic and of poor quality, dinning area chairs and tables are needing replaced as worn & scratched.

Disappointing
The lady at the front desk was lovely. She got someone to assist me in carrying my luggage to my room.
There was no A/C and we were on the top floor furthest away. Lots of stairs to get there since there is no lift. There wasn’t even a fan provided like other hotels had without A/C and it was very hot and stuffy. There were no black out curtains and light was coming in at 3:45am from the early sunrise. The water pressure was horrible! Pillows were super flat.

Beautiful, old and quaint. Nice staff! Nice buffet breakfast!
No elevator, no AC but staff provided fans. A little far from train station but worth the price.

The breakfasts & the evening meals were good in both types of meals with a good selection. Presentation of the evening meals was very good & looked very professional. The room was nicely decorated & the shower unit with the big head worked very well I would like to give Izzy a special mention as a receptionist she had the perfect manner for the job, a friendly smile & always smart dressed . A receptionist is the first person your guests see when they walk in & so therefore their job is an important one .
There was no lampshade on the ceiling light. The bed base looked very dated & scratched. Unfortunately when I got off the bus I was faced with the ordeal of climbing all the concrete stairs leading to the hotel from the main road with my case .

Location and parking excellent.
Room was rather small considering we had been upgraded. The window hardly opened, which in a heatwave was inconvenient. Breakfast was rather ordinary and not that hot.

Connie the housemaid and the location
Far too hot - the heating system is on all day to also heat the water - the hotel badly needs urgent investment in its heating system

The shampoo and soaps were lovely, the lady at reception gave me a fan which was great because the room was so hot.
The wallpaper in the room and bathroom were peeling, the headboard and bed was also peeling and scratched. There were cobwebs in the bathroom. Breakfast was SUPER AWKWARD as we had to share a table with a group of strangers and it was hot and uncomfortable. We were here for a tennis tournament and just wanted breakfast and a comfortable bed so it worked fine, a lot of money to spend for 'fine'. The heater was on in the bar (which was lovely), bizarre. Beautiful old building but it was uphill getting there from the bus stop with heavy bags up the stairs to the hotel and then again up the stairs (no lift) to our room.
