" A few niggles!"
We stayed in room 734 on the top floor. When we entered the room we weren`t impress to find a room with an adjoining door, but thought that it won`t be that bad, would it!!!!!!!!!! Yes at 3.30 am the two girls came in from their night out. Talking at the top of their voices, so it seemed at that time of the night. The taps in the bathroom sure need some attention as the water is slow running. We have stayed in the Thistle Hotel in London and that was much better room. We have stayed in many hotels around the world and was really looking forward to staying at this hotel to celebrate our anniversary, that was fine and even the staff were very attentive at breakfast. The only thing that let`s this hotel down are the rooms.

"Good but.. "
Red light kept flashing on the ceiling, which was pretty annoying and tv didn`t work. Everything else was great though.
