Work being done in hotel. Not informed. Breakfast in hotel next door (not informed until arrival) so didn`t attend as not convenient. TV in room not working. Told all tvs not working. Bed sheets didn`t fit. Water turned off at midday. Felt very let down by lack of information before and during our stay.

"Brilliant Location"
The hotel was dated but under renovation, However, the room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was good and the staff were very polite and helpful. On our second evening due to maintenance the water was off from 9 -11pm. We were informed of this. However, the water did not come on until almost 1am. We requested water so that we could brush our teeth but were unable to shower or flush the toilet following our visit to the theatre. We spoke to Oksana the following morning and she apologised profusely and refunded our breakfast payments. We felt that once the hotel realised that the water would not be coming back on at 11pm they should have made arrangements to supply bottled water to guests without us needing to ask twice. We were offered the opportunity to shower at their sister hotel.This was not really an option in the early hours of the morning. The location of the hotel was excellent for our plans.

"Great location but old and tired! "
The receptionist on arrival was very curt and unhelpful, she gave us the room keys, took my security deposit and pretty much dismissed us. I asked her if the restaurant was open (5pm) to be rudely told it wasn`t open until 6:30pm. The very helpful barman passing by heard and said we could have drinks and snacks in the bar. I think his name was Omu (apologies if wrong). We opted for drinks and fish and chips which were fabulous! Fresh and well cooked. The room itself was clean on the surface but I had some bites overnight. It was small and dated, however I understand the hotel is being refurbished and really does need it! The room in no way resembled what was on the website. The two receptionists that checked us out in the morning were completely different to the day before making it a much more pleasant experience.

"Disappointing"
Be aware, you will be asked for card details for security deposit, organizer didn`t tell us. Hotel is average. Some areas need maintenance. Tv in one of our rooms didn`t work at all. No daily room cleaning done, so cups not changed. Single room very small. For the amount paid very disappointing.

"Well appointed hotel, convenient location, pleasant staff"
This was just a one-night stay and it was an easy, convenient and pleasant stay. Room was `snug` but adequate for my needs. No issues regarding the experience.
