The shower was not a very good size for my height. With the raised bath, at its top, the shower head was at face level.

“Terrible experience and no compensation offered.”
Nothing. They cancelled my booking 2 hrs before I was to check in because of a change in management. This happened at the busiest times of January when I had booked weeks in advance.

“Worst place! Skip it to save your nerves”
The room was completely disgusting, dirty, food on the walls, destroyed furniture etc., the worst place I have ever seen. Came in and 10 minutes later left the building. This place shouldn’t be listed on Booking. Now I am fighting for full refund as this is against any policy. The manager doesn’t reply.
