Air conditioning not working. Wasn’t told ahead of time so not given the option to change. Hotel rate was not changed to reflect the poorer offering. They gave us some water and a fan. I will not stay again.

Changed our room without notice.
We booked a room with two beds and they moved us to a room with only one double bed. Unsurprisingly, they didn't reduce the cost.

Clean property with excellent service from all the staff however to be told on arrival that the air conditioning is out of service and has been for a while is unnacceptable. This lead to a sleepless night as it was unbearbly hot with the fan provided not helping. Unable to open the window due to noise from the bus station outside, including a group of people sat outside playing music and shouting for hours. Check before you book whether it has been sorted.

Good, central hotel with low prices. The air conditioning isn't working at the moment because they are refurbishing. I also did not get the promised discounted car park fee, the hotel offered no help with this
