Went to this hotel bar on 7/5/2013 in the evening. Place quiet however it took a while to get served and tables and floor filthy. There was a manageress on duty and in my opinion she should make sure that at the very least the place should be kept clean.

On the 7th May there were some minor floor renovations taking place in another area of the hotel which may have made the floor area dusty. If you would like to discuss your visit with us... More
