Been a few years since we booked this hotel ,and to be honest there's a big difference. Lovely little garden and spotlessly clean all around .The bar as had a really lovely refurbishment, so much better .For a budget hotel you cant really moan .Nice comfortable beds and room serviced every day .Staff are great ,loved the Italian man on reception so friendly and helpful , think he said his name was Cowie?.,but anyway nice bloke. Anyway for what we paid in that time of the year was a bargain for the four of us.Breakfast ,we ordered at the table and was freshly cooked and ok. It's a little bit out of the way to the main square if you have walking difficulties but on the whole we enjoyed it

Had a lovely short break here, the staff couldn't be more helpful, it is very basic, but you get what you pay for. Room was cleaned everyday, was no hairdryer in the room but a quick ask at the 24hr reception got us one with no issues. The restaurant wasn't open as it was being refurbed (we was out of season) but the bar offered a decent breakfast and snack menu

Good for a few days stay but not any longer. Whilst the rooms are generally comfortable and clean, the hotel generally was really noisy until the early hours of the morning and the rooms aren't sound proofed at all. The pool area was nice and clean but the loungers were uncomfortable so didn't use it much. Convenient for access to St Paul's and the surrounding area with good bus links, but the immediate area is really run down. Staff were really friendly/helpful.

First the positives: the staff - front desk especially - were great. Very friendly and helpful and polite. The price we paid was very reasonable for this time of the year (high season). The room was very spacious. The Internet was good enough. The breakfast menu, although limited, was good and hearty. There are restaurants and supermarkets on the same street and very close by too. On the downside: The main issue we faced was finding an available parking spot near and around the hotel - especially at night! To say that "street parking is available" on the description is not quite accurate. It is a lottery - depending on what time one looks for parking. On our last night after looking for parking several blocks away I had to park in an illegal spot. The other issue is the hotel needs upgrading work in the rooms.

It is Not a hotel. It is a dormitory for workers who get up at 5.00 am waking the tourists up. There is no restaurant, no bar no cosy sitting area, not even a coffee bar. They send you off to an adjacent dingy pub. Most unpleasant experiance!

Our check in was at 2245 and we were checked in with ease. Our room reflected the price. Air conditioning worked great. Cute little balcony. Shower pressure and temperature was good but the height of the shower head is only suitable for children but it’s detachable and worked good enough. Pool was great too but it was too cold to fully enjoy. One cockroach was found in the hallway. None in our room.

Disappointed

This hotel was full of young lads and girls we got woke up 3 times by loud music coming from rooms in the early hours of the morning all though the staff sorted it it wasn’t good. The staff were all ok the room was cleaned every day but there was no hanging space for our clothes in the room and the room was very dated and everything was well used . The nicest thing about this place was the pool area . We wouldn’t stay here again .

Avoid! Possibly the worst hotel I’ve stayed at. The toilet didn’t flush. After telling reception they sent maintenance who ‘fixed’ it yet it had to be pulled a specific way at a certain angle for a barely functioning flush. A adequate bathroom is the absolute bare minimum of a hotel, so this was already so so below standards!! No Wi-fi coverage due to the location of our room in the hotel so they connected us to a near by businesses WiFi instead which was also weak. To top it all off we woke up one morning with 2 cockroaches in our bathroom. This drove us to contact Expedia to request a refund which the hotel declined. I really can’t fathom how you can have cockroaches and toilets that don’t flush and refuse a refund. There was no apology or offer for refund when we told the hotel directly. They just said they would go to the room and look at it since we would be sightseeing for the day. Only after asking and approaching them again to check on the progress did they offer a new room, but after looking at the room we discovered even this room had a broken shower head that didn’t look functional. They said they could fix this so we could have the room, but we declined. Again not sure how you can clean a room and not see a broken shower head and offer this to another paying customer. You’re better off spending a bit more money and getting a hotel that is actually worth it, as this hotel sure is not!!!
