Negative Reviews
negative:
Old and dated property
This hotel is in an old building and the interior is said to feel dated. Guests mention the age of the hotel in a negative manner, suggesting many of the fittings and facilities are tired and worn. The lift receives particular criticism for being aged and slow, guests feel an entire refurbishment is due.
negative:
Poor quality Wi-Fi
Many guests criticise the quality of the Wi-Fi in this hotel. Reviews mention that the Wi-Fi does not reach many of the rooms and thus guests have to go to the ground floor to get online. This is obviously an inconvenient element of the property.
negative:
No complimentary breakfast
Breakfast is offered at this hotel but is for an additional cost, which dozens of guests feel does not present good value for money. Reviews suggest that the price charged for the room is high enough to warrant a free breakfast and thus guests do not enjoy having to pay extra for this.
