Good value for money, nice and clean facility, friendly staff. However, the location of the entrance is rather unusual. Google map didn’t know how to direct me there on foot from train station. Also the area around it was quite dirty, noisy, and feels rough and unsafe. The best and safe way on foot is through the shopping centre, which is right next to the hotel entrance.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I called staff a few times as tv wasn’t working. They made me go downstairs a few times with no results. I then told them I was going to bed and if they can deal with it next day. they told me Maintenance would come in the day and sort it. By 6 pm next day nothing was done. Again I went to reception and I insisted someone stays around for Atleast 10mins to study the problem. Eventually my room was changed to enable me access tv which I needed very much especially as Paralympics was starting. I did not appreciate being toast around by staff who did not seem to communicate or record information

no decaf nor non-dairy options
There was no decaf. They offer free coffee and tea but I cannot drink any of it since it is all highly caffeinated. There is no food available after hours, no snacks, no vending machine, nothing at all. And no eating facilities nearby that I could see. Only on offer was a pizza delivery service, but I am not a fan of pizza, I believe it is highly overrated. The breakfast buffet was good, but again, no decaffeinated options available. Als, no non-dairy milk was provided, my wife is lactose intolerant.
