Liked: Great Location lots of public transport available

Disliked: Did not have a comfortable relaxing stay at all Staff mucked up the room order and had to swap rooms twice to fit us in The room was unclean, Pubic hair in the bed, Filthy Carpets, Hand marks all over the walls. Heating was off all night only came on for 2 or 3 hours in the morning, no hot water in the afternoon. Toilet overflowed. Wireless was not free had to pay £3.00 Card security number was filed away when i emailed it so kept getting phone calls from staff asking for it over the phone when i had already sent it! UNORGANISED have stayed in cleaner hostels. Ended up staying in the Galadriel Guest House just down the road even though i had to pay for the hotel i was not happy with. The Galadriel was run by a lovely family you get treated like absolute royalty had no complaints the whole time i was there! BEAUTIFUL

Liked: Room was fairly big, location was decent only a 5-10 min bus ride into the old city. Although the shower looked like a prison shower, there was decent water pressure.

Disliked: Breakfast was a bit too early and finished too early, almost as if to deter guests from having it. Wifi you had to pay, but was weak and slow.

Liked: The hotel made a mess of our booking, took our money in advance and didn't have rooms available for our second night. Once they realised their mistake, though, the staff were very helpful and found us alternative accommodation for the second night.

Disliked: No hot water when we got up after the one night we stayed there. The hotel manager was very apologetic as he came out of the boiler rooms, covered in dust. I think we were just unlucky that everything went wrong at the hotel that weekend.
