No tea in room nor kettle in room
Room was cold upon arrival,
Very small room of furniture in the room was badly organised, kept on hitting my leg between bed and table at the desk.
Carpet had a lot of stains and look dirty,
Bathroom floor cold, I had sniffles the following morning.
The staff were friendly and helpfull. I enjoyed my stay there. The breakfast was good. I hope next time I visit they will add porridge to the breakfast.
Took 45 minutes to actually access my room after arriving at hotel as they say booking wasn't on system - didn't want to check by reservation number initially as they said processes to follow. So I could have accessed room immediately if they had used common sense and taken reservation number.
Room was far too hot and they keep fans in the room as they are obviously aware of this. Fans are noisy and don't really help to create a cool environment. Also rooms are very basic, and not of a high decor.
Also no tea or coffee in room and have to go down to lobby if you want it.
Reservation not found on arrival and stayed at 3am for one and half hour at reception as i had to contact expedia they called reception and still didn't manage to find my booking
Had to pay again and expedia said they would refund me but thats not acceptable as they forgot to book it and i had to pay double the amount original as a walk in plus the wait. Not good
Reda at reception eas very helpful so nothing wrong with hotel it was expedia that put me through this nightmare
Personal opinion all rooms should have a minimum of a kettle in rooms , this hotel had free coffee machine in the reception but neither was working during our visit, this is the only negative.
