Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Honestly a very disappointing hotel. Online it looks lovely but the reality of metal construction without insulation means a boiling hot room that the AC can’t counteract and from others walking. The restaurant was comparable to Faulty Towers! We ordered a bottle of wine and after waiting for 15mins we’re told they didn’t have it, other drinks on the menu weren’t available, food was actually lovely but arrived at random times and the staff looked perplexed when asked anything. Also, and not really fault of the hotel, but the neighbouring property is rented out and there was a party and music blaring (and this is where insulation would have helped!) from 1-4am. We were all awake walking around the hotel trying to find someone who could try to get the music turned off. Eventually they called the police but we were told it happens all the time. Location looks lovely but not a practical hotel
