I do not care how hotel looks, what food it provides or whether there is any entertainment. I want a room I can sleep (cool, quiet, and dark)in and freshen myself up in the morning. This hotel failed even that. (-) dark: the blackout curtains barely covered the window, leaving large holes throughout the perimeter. Pack an eye mask. (-) quiet: avoid non-seaview rooms (even numbers): all rooms on that side face the bank of aircons and the kitchen exhaust. Perversely, there is no aircon in the room so one has to keep a window open (not being able to turn off the radiator completely does not help) - imagine the noise. The place also attracts quite a number of bikers on a tour - just wait until they will start revving their engines at 5:45am. Pack earplugs. (-) cool... addressed above. No aircon so prepare to sweat in summer. For what it worth we were barely able to sleep when it was +10 outside. (-) shower... pathetic water flow, cold water pressure is much higher than the hot water pressure so hot tap had to be fully opened and cold one just a little. It also sprays everywhere except in the direction it should.... so be prepared to have fun. (-) room condition - old, dated, holes in the carpet, toilet paper holder falling off the wall. (-) some staff absolutely do not understand any English. I had to fetch receptionist to explain to the restaurant front office that I actually want to borrow a fork from them. Surprisingly food quality was rather good - if you dare to stay there, try "from the kitchen" items - porridge and fried kippers are rather good. Bed was also rather good - firm as I like it.
