Cramped and hot

The hotel is recently renovated. The delux single room is very small and cramped. The air conditioning was not working.

This hotel room is extremely small. You could barely walk down the sides of the bed squeeze into a very tight bathroom and you couldn’t even sit on the chair really to use the laptop. The desk was so small. I don’t even know how they get to use this as a room to charge near £100 for and blood on the duvet cover and really noisy at night. This place is barely the size of my laundry cupboard at home.

Even though the property was lovely and the staff were friendly the overall stay wasnt the greatest. Small room and bed was just a pull out sofa bed. Another couple that were staying in the room next to ours managed to gain access to our room which we werent overally pleased about.
