Good location but average hotel
Although in terms of location this hotel was ok. It did have numerous issues. We felt the room could do with a lick of paint because it did look a bit messy. One of the cupboard shelves collapsed when I put my clothes on it, although without asking the chambermaids repaired it when we were out. I had to screw on the shower head because it was leaking everywhere and i nearly slipped up in the shower while doing it. I also found the bed linen wasn't very comfortable. The blanket was very rough and wasn't very wide, so I frequently found it hanging off me in the night.
The breakfast was very boring and never changed. There was only ever one type of cereal and my friend and I just had french bread with jams or honey on every day. Had I known how dull this breakfast was, i would have paid to eat elsewhere. The staff however were very nice though.
We were on the 4th and top floor and the Wifi, despite there being 3 Wifi networks, the signal to all of them that high up was very weak or non existent. We could have used the Wifi in the restaurant, but there was always loud music being played so you couldn't always hear your phone if you were on Youtube. Also, you always felt the staff were trying to sell you something, so you never felt you could sit in the hotel restaurant and order nothing.
I should also point out that there is no lift in this hotel. I was recovering from a knee injury at the time, so i found the 4 flights of stairs challenging, especially with luggage.
