If you don't intend to spend your holiday in the hotel room, I can really recommend this hotel. Perfect location to a resonable price.

"Decent hotel"
The location of the hotel is great, and reception staff friendly. The room was small, but OK. For a short stay, you don't need a lot of space. The plumbing in the bathroom is terrible though. Problems with flushing the toilet, shower impossible because temperature changes from freezing cold to burning hot... Daily but only very superficial cleaning in the bathroom.
"Generally, for the price and location of the hotel, we were very pleased"
Pros: Generally, for the price and location of the hotel, we were very pleased.
Cons: The bed in room 905 needs replacing asap! it squeaks anytime you move and is very old and uncomfortable and half of the slats were broken meaning you couldnt sit on the bed without sinking very low! we didnt complain at the time as we were only there for 4 nights and it hardly seemed worth asking to move rooms.

Pros: Best thing was location--it was good too to have a bath as well as shower in bathroom.
Cons: Room was airless and overhot (i was there in mid-october); air conditioning was noisy when you had it on. window overlooked an internal well area--bad. one small lift (i was on 10th floor) was inadequate, especially as domestic staff used it to convey bedlinen etc.
