8/10 Very good

Location of hotel was nice n convenient to town centre. Can be noisy as it’s at crossroads of 2 roads. If you want a quiet relaxing holiday this is not it. I paid for a room with city view instead was given a ground floor room with no view. The bathroom is badly constructed, Shower, toilet and basin in one room. Looks modern but not functional. Furthermore, when you shower, the water spreads to rest of bathroom.
