Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: A little different from the normal hotel you would expect. The bed was very comfortable considering I struggle to sleep at most hotels.
Negative: At least my room was very dated and tired. The room was clean. The ac wasn’t working, not mentioned during the check in but there was a sign on the room. The bathroom on the other hand was disappointing, there was early evidence of mold above the shower and water stains on the tiles. There was also mold on some of the joints in the shower area.
Summary: Not worth over £160 for a night. Maybe £80.
