Some shortcomings to rooms
Although guests are typically happy with the standard of the rooms at the hotel, reviews do highlight a number of shortcomings. These include the lack of air-conditioning, creaky floorboards and low pressure in the showers.
negative:
Occasional disappointment at breakfast
Guest opinions of the breakfast vary. While some guests were perfectly happy, others raise a number of concerns. Guests occasionally found that supplies of things like cups, teapots and the food itself frequently ran out and were slow to be replaced. Plus, dirty tables are not cleared quickly.

Limited amenities provided
Guests mention that amenities such as towels, tea and coffee supplies and toiletries are a little meagre, especially in double and family rooms. You won't encounter any problems when asking for more supplies but it's rather frustrating to have to do so.
