Negative Reviews

negative:

Property feels like it's stuck in a timewarp

It has been noted that this property, both inside and out, looks and feels like it has changed very little since the 1980s. Some guests said it reminded them of a Soviet era hotel.

negative:

Opening times need to be more flexible

A significant number of visitors have been left somewhat dismayed by the opening times of some of the hotel's most popular amenities. The indoor pool, for instance, is shut between 10am and 6pm, while the pub is rarely open at all.

negative:

Wi-Fi could be better

Numerous travellers have highlighted some niggling issues with the free Wi-Fi at this hotel. The main bugbear reported was that you have to re-enter the username and password every time you come back to the hotel and want to get online.
