Very poor customer service
Reception is very nice but rooms are like university accommodation not hotel standard. My TV did not have a remote control and I called reception 3 times to get one sent to my room, but I never received the remote so could not use the TV.

4/10 Fair

I checked in at the hotel @ 23:00 and the room they gave me was poorly cleaned with human hair on the floor, the bathroom shower drainage was blocked and this was bad. I complained and the room was changed, to which it did not take long for change of room which was good. But honestly responding to guest request was really bad. I requested for iron for my room and it took 1 hour before I received it. On the 2nd day I requested for drinking water and they never sent it to me. Drinking water is a basic need and I find it very disheartening not send a guest water for drinking. I have never experienced this with any other hotel I stayed in.
