After paying over £300 for 1 night, I was extremely disappointed with how basic the hotel room looked.

I would give 3 stars - nothing special
Not the best hotel I have stayed in, stains or carpets, broken equipment stored in room. I ordered room service and the quality was really poor and didn't contain all ingredients specified.

Generally fine, but corridor smelt badly
The bedroom was fine, although a lot smaller than the images on hotels.com would indicate. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Reception was helpful. But the corridor outside of our room smelt terribly of mold - not what you expect at this price of hotel.
