New Ambassador Hotel

I have to confess that we didn't actually stay here! On arrival we waited for some 20 minutes in reception before anyone appeared - the whole place was deserted. The aroma of old cooking fat was most off-putting. When we got our room key, we were faced with climbing several flights of stairs (no lift). At the top there was a bucket half full of water on the stairs, catching drips from a leak in the roof. Our room was poorly furnished and had a well worn appearance. The bed was jammed against a wall in an alcove. The bathroom was small and somewhat dilapidated. Our conclusion was that the hotel badly needs a total refurbishment and is currently below acceptable standards. We returned the room key to reception and rebooked elsewhere.
