8/10 Very good! (1,001 reviews)
"The hotel is overpriced for what it offers. No lunch or dinner service in the restaurant. Breakfast was perfunctory at best, sticky tables and food that wasn't hot. Tea in mugs like a works canteen. I didn't bother with breakfast after the first day. My single room was okay but shabby. No privacy ..."
