This is an old building that is limited with what can be done with it's facilities and it shows. The staff are limited and are not present outwith normal office hours this could be problematic. Cooking facilities are pretty much non existant and there was evidence of itmes being taken from the fridge without consent. There are a lot of stairs for access which were tricky with a case.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. The facilities are outdated and poorly maintained. The bed was incredibly flimsy—it shook and made loud squeaking noises every time I turned over, making it almost impossible to get a proper night's sleep. Although I booked a private room, it was extremely small and felt very cramped. The bathroom and shower were also tiny, dirty, and not well maintained, which made the stay even more uncomfortable.
