My wife and I booked a room for 5 nights through booking.com, intending to do some walking & touring in the area. We arrived at the hotel at 8pm on the Friday night. Visitors are greeted by a smiling picture of Basil Fawlty in the doorway. Be warned, this is not a joke! The proprietor treats guests as punters with contempt. The decor in the rooms is very worn. We were given the key to no 41 in the basement of the hotel, with an old aluminium ladder propped against the wall opposite. The bed & pillows were very uncomfortable. The only saving grace of the room was a decent bathroom with a nice bath - but even then the shower was very hard to adjust to get a tolerable temperature. We complained on arrival and were offered a room upstairs, which to be fair was brighter, but there was no bath and the shower was tiny and also very well worn. In the end, we cancelled the last 3 nights of the stay (we were forced by the booking.com contract to give 48 hours' notice), and checked out after one night. The proprietor was quite unpleasant when I politely asked why I couldn't get a refund on the second night, as he would be able to sell it once we had checked out. He said I could write any reviews I liked, and say that the hotel was a heap of S**T, and he wouldn't care because he had a thick skin. This hotel is definitely NOT worth what they charge for the rooms. We have had much better for the same price, and similar quality for half the price elsewhere. The rooms are clean and have the basics like tea & coffee, TV etc, but this is not a nice place to stay. So, before you book here, read this review and be warned! read more
