It’s fine.
The hotel is fine. I’m wondering if the four star rating is a mistake because it’s certainly not four star. I understand there were works going on and one of the corridors was closed off, but when I arrived in my bedroom, it seemed that they had dumped a few items of furniture in there. There was an extra table, desk, chair, and set of drawers in there. It didn’t make any sense and it took up a lot of space. They were also incredibly dirty! I could also smell cigarettes quite badly too, wasn’t sure if it was coming from inside the hotel or outside, but the smell was awful down the corridor. Dining choices were adequate, but very limited. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I wouldn’t be in a rush to stay here again though.
