The rooms are generally spacious and clean, and a good breakfast, often featuring both continental and English options, is widely enjoyed.

Standard stay experience

great vibe adequate breakfast helpful staff dated decor no air conditioning broken remote
The hotel lobby presented a pleasant vibe, and the public areas had a library and a bar. I found the breakfast adequate. It included cereal, toast, and a cooked breakfast. I asked for veggie sausages (they were prepared for me).
The pictures online are a bit deceiving, as the decor looks more dated in person. My room lacked air conditioning. Only a fan was available. I noticed the remote for the TV did not work, inconvenient.
