Not a success. I arrived at check in time, the entrance was shut, nobody answered the bell. I rang a telephone number displayed on a scrappy piece of paper, and was told that. 'she" was out, could. I come back at 4?
I said I wasn't waiting, but would return around 10.00. Could I ring 10 minutes before to warn, said the voice? I duly did this. At 10.00 the door was again shut. I rang the the bell again. Five minutes later a woman wearing slippers emerged behind me, and let me in. I was handed a scrappy piece of paper to provide all my details, including passport number(!), even though I had provided all these before when pre-paying. The reception "office" had a couple of scruffy chairs, and that was it.
I was at least shown upstairs to my roomy the lady in slippers. Which was to be fair clean, both towels and sheets, and the en suite even contained an up to date shower.
Even though the sign outside the hotel promised Bed and. breakfast, and a full bar downstairs (all repeated in the welcoming brochure in the room, plus detailed menus for supper as well as breakfast), it was clear that none of these were on offer- not even a glass for water from my tap.
In the morning I came downstairs at 8.30. There was certainly no breakfast, indeed there was no sign of life anywhere. So I left my key on the shelf outside the "office", opened the front door, and walked out into the rain.
At no stage during I see or hear anybody based in the hotel- whether staff or guests.
