This Review will concentrate on two main areas: food and amenities and hotel accomodation. Firstly the food was horrid; be it pasta dishes, meat dishes or english dishes - they were all bland and tasteless. Even the puddings were awful how you can... read more

I guess anybody reading these reviews are doing so because they now know what hotel they are booked into, not because they are looking for a hotel.
