"Not worth £150/night. My room had dirty carpet and there were black hair on the bathroom floor when I arrived. One day my room was not cleaned after I came back from the town 15.30. Swimming pool very small for so big hotel. Over all not clean and too expensive."

"The air conditioning in our room was not functioning during three nights of our stay. It was sweltering. The staff was able to move us to a different room on our final night, however, there were 2 days of no sleep due to the heat."
