There were two good things about this hotel - its position in being close to good shopping and the museums, and the staff on the front desk. Julianna on reception was supremely helpful, full of local information and happy to explain how to use local transport etc.
The room itself was pretty awful. Below ground floor level with one small window looking at a scruffy brick wall and a pipe from an extractor fan sending fish smells into the room. The room was dark, noisy from other guests, looked in dire need of some maintenance (hooks hanging off walls, soap/shampoo dispenser falling off the wall, handle on the toilet brush broken off, scuff marks all over the walls, TV not working, shower bracket not fitted to wall properly, holes filled in badly etc etc).
I know its hard to clean rooms that are poorly maintained but the big hair sitting on the bath towel was not the welcome I wanted. The hotel didn't stock any alcohol, soft drinks and or ice despite having a bar. They have free coffee and tea (as long as its Earl Grey or a couple of herbal ones).
I was hugely disappointed in this hotel, wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't stay here again.
