The hotel does not deserve a 5-star rating. To start with, the carpet outside our room was stained. It wasn’t dust or it would have been hoovered. Upon entering, the entire room was shrouded in dark: dark walls, one small window in the corner, terrible lighting and a window blind that didn’t allow us to open the window as it was in the way. The bathroom had black walls and terrible lighting with a vertical light smack in the middle of the mirror above the basin so you were unable to see yourself! The loo lid came off every day, the basins didn’t drain, the shower didn’t drain either, the plastic bath overflow came off every day and the towels were frayed. Two of the three lifts did not reach the breakfast room and all the walls had massive scuff marks throughout.
The staff however were very friendly and helpful, apart from the monosyllabic robot girl at breakfast who barked orders, without a single smile in 4 days. And breakfast was mediocre.
To pay nearly a thousand pounds for a room allows me to expect far better than this sadly and I would therefore never go back or ever recommend this place to anyone. ☹️
