Unfortunately no housekeeping was provided even though it was advertised as such....not nice to come back after along day out and rubbish and dirty dishes etc left in the room. The response was also very poor when we raised the issue. On a positive note, our room was clean and modern and well located with walking distance. Bed was comfy.

If you'd like to live the faulty towers experience, then this may be the place for you. Issues from the get-go when trying to check in, wrong phone numbers/no one on site, incorrect room/s, getting the run-around, and other guests being assigned the same room.
