8/10 Very good

A great location with fantastic and helpful staff, really comfortable bed, let down by the lack of maintenance for the room. The room itself was clean. Bit basic and lacking things like air conditioning and phone charge inputs that some other hotels have. The bathroom was another story. Mould on the grouting, dated, peeling paint, no extractor fan (although you could open a window) and having to step into the shower (which was quite dark) was a bit weird. Would I stay again? Yes but only for a night and only because of location and comfortable bed.
