polite staffdaily room cleaninghot breakfastuncomfortable bedslamming doorslow water pressure
the staff were very polite and kind. the supervisor was always going round the table to ensure guests were happy with their meal. the room cleaning service happened daily. the breakfast had different options and all were hot.
the bed felt uncomfortable. it was more like a large single instead of a double. the doors in the hotel slammed shut, so my sleep was often interrupted. there was very low water pressure in the shower.

unwelcoming staffweak water pressure
The male reception staff seemed rather unwelcoming. They clearly need some retraining. i also noticed the shower water pressure was surprisingly weak. it was usable, but still not ideal for a hotel that wants to impress. the location is not great, it's behind some dirty alleys.
