The room was not clean, stained carpet, dirty shower, I didn't complain so the hotel didn't get a chance to rectify, so possibly not fair, and I guess the room was very cheap, but just didn't get an overall good/comfortable feel with the hotel and location so really had made my mind up to leave, left after 1 night of a 3 night stay.

The location of the hotel was good, the reception was very helpful and Harshana was very polite with our luggage and arranged us a late check out without any hassles. The room had a balcony and kitchen amenities so you could fix your own food there as well. Good showers and big spacious room too.

Great and central location to where we were attending. Good value for money. It is a little tired and needs a little work ie water damage to bathroom door which makes it very difficult to open, dishwasher a little bit falling apart. Staff were very obliging, friendly and helpful. Would stay again
