We booked this hotel despite the reviews... what a big mistake!
The room we were allocated (40) was an absolute tip. It appeared that a blind axe muderer had chased a victim around, missing frequently, and making holes in the wall. The bedding was frayed and tatty, the room was filthy, the bath had 'bits' in (I didn't investigate further).
I went straight to reception and was given no arguement... instead I was told room 54 was available. I went to see it (it was a slight improvement) and told my wife. Together we went up to the new room, only to be met by the receptionist shouting "I told you to stay in your room until I came to get you!". We made it plain that we weren't staying in that hole a moment longer than we had to.
The new room was tatty, peeling paintwork, mould around the bath, the carpet was covered in hair, the sink unit had random holes drilled in it, the bathroom ceiling was a sheet of torn plastic film inexpertly patched with gaffer tape. The shower distributed 65% of its water into the bath... the other 35% sprayed onto the light fittings and extractor (which didn't work). There is no bar. The pillows are bags of foam fragments. There is no indication as to where the 'courtyard' might be... we saw no trace.
This is NOT a three star hotel, it is an indigent's doss house. You have been warned.
