Very very poor hotel

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. Everything else was a huge disappointment. Room was very small, and looked like from the 80s, but the bad part of the 80s, not the fun part. TV was small and veeeery old. Same for the bathroom, the sink (in the room but outside the bathroom) the elevator, the windows... It wasn't very clean either and the first day our room wasn't done. Staff was correct, but not near nice. BIG NO-NO!

Do not stay here!!!!

We had booked to stay for 4 nights. As soon as we got into our room we were trying to get in contact with the manager to leave. We had remnant food on our floor, which was not cleaned up even after we asked 3 times. The rooms nor the hotel were not hoovered in the days we stayed there. There was no loo roll holder, the shower curtain was filled with brown dirt, our room view was of rubbish that had been thrown our the window and had never been tidied away. Once we got around to seeing the Manager, he denied the fact he was the Manager even though the Staff told us he was.
