Rude staff on check in as I had booked in my preferred name and got a lecture that it needed to match my ID. I have never had this problem anywhere else in the world. Room was noisy, tiny and not particularly clean ( mould in the shower). I had to carry my suit case up a flight of stairs after getting off the lift to reach my room. The hot breakfast was barely warm 30mins after the buffet opened. I would not stay here again.

Despite being offered an upgrade and late check out, there was no hot water to shower. We were told it would be fixed but it took hours and we left.

Service is a 4, lovely people and very helpful staff. Room was a 3, carpet was quite dirty along the wall edges and there is no water tap except for the bathroom to gather drinking water. TV also froze and remote wouldn’t work.

A good stay for the price. However, we had someone trying to follow us to our room or even the restaurant inside the building, which was unsafe. And the staff mentionned that those people are like that and they are in the lobby everyday. However, the staff was good and they escorted us safely.
