The worst hotel

The room was dirty, they never came to service the rooms, even after I reminded them that no one has come and we needed towels and there wasn’t any shampoo/ soap . The Internet was horrible. Rusty balconies, the whole place needs to be updated. Dirty utensils for tea/ coffee and dirty stained blankets. I complained and was told by the manager if I come again maybe I will get a discount at that time. Obviously I won’t be back.

It was ok for a night stop off, but the bathroom was not very clean, dirt and timescale around the taps bath wasn't cleaned properly, hotel was a little bit shabby, all the glass windows needed a good clean. Dirt, and cobwebs inside and out. Chairs in the dinning hall were really dirty, not the right kind of chair to have with children. All bedding and towels very clean. Staff very helpful.

Lovely people at reception and bar areas. Warm welcome etc. Room was well equipped and clean. Bed was very comfortable and a good size. Breakfast was very good, although a bit limited on fruit and yogurts etc. Would definitely stay again even though I did not visit the zoo, which was not a noisy place to stay!
