Slow "broadband" 50kbit/s for 10 pounds
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AThe room was ok, more like 2* but still was fine. The personel was friendly and tried their best.
Location
At the edge of city center, rather calmer and safer part of the town
The biggest disappointment was "broadband" wired internet - for 8.99 GBP get unlimited access for 24 hours. Well it does not even let you send emails - connection problems, speed up to 50 kbit/s!!! 12 years ago I had faster connection via slow dial-up modem. BTW in 2006 to call it broadband it had to do at least 256kbit/s and in 2010 it was 4Mbit/s. When questioning whether it is normal I got a reply, that this is the normal standard speed of their broadband internet and if I do not like it I can buy faster connection via WiFi with other provider (yet the "broadband" will be charged:D)
Gastronomy
Breakfast definitely not worth of those 7.5GBP (company paid it), but still could be much better - fruit only for limited time, juice machine half the time empty, coffee machine sometimes without milk or coffee.
Sport & Entertainment
None, no pool, no fitness, closest park to run 5-10 minutes (depending on the traffic)
Room
Doors were broken - someone tried to force them, almost succeeded - after informing them, nothing happened. No safe deposit in the room! No liability for thefts,...
Tips and recommendations
Could definitely find better hotel for same money.
