Having stayed at this hotel several times and most recently last month - I have learnt my lesson, I will not be going back. As it is under the BW brand I always expect something reasonable and fairly priced. This is a poorly run hotel that does not live up to the standard of BW. Mediocre food, grotty room service... More

Stayed here on business. Not a nice hotel at all, stayed in a block that was like a council flat. Room pretty standard but drab. Bathroom not that modern or clean. It wasn't the hotels fault but the room next door were noisy all night and they kept me awake, so you have to question the sound proofing.
