Check your rooms...

Liked: Arrived here around dinner time, welcomed quickly and showned to the bottom of the stairs of where the rooms were, First impression...weren't impressed, we had booked a deluxe double and could tell this was not the pictures that are located under deluxe double on booking.com but that of the cosy double! Upon asking the receptionist, she assured us we were definitely in a deluxe double. The room we was in 'flora' had a strong sewage like smell that just did not go away and came in waves, it got to the point I could not stand it any longer and went down to the reception to see if they had another room available, the gentleman I spoke with was super friendly and helpful, he couldn't personally smell the smell but did offer to move us upstairs. Arriving at said room 'pom' we where shocked to see almost a mirror image of the 'deluxe double' photos that we had originally booked (slightly different lay out so my guess is it's the room opposite 'pom')! The gentleman even joked about this room having a bigger bed! When I mentioned this room being essentially the one in the photos on booking.com, he disagreed. However, I have checked and confirmed to myself that I am right. (The pillows on the walls were missing, but the bed and appliances were all the same as the picture).
Disliked: The building definitely needs attention, cracks in the walls, and some parts have minor chips/mini holes. The wallpaper is striping away from the walls, which I can only imagine would be due to damp. We wouldn't personally stay here again but just be sure to check your rooms when arriving, if it wasn't for the smell in the first room we would never have thought any different as we took the word of the hotel and we would have paid 'deluxe double' prices for 'cosy double' standards.

Brilliant couldn't ask for more

Liked: I stayed in the Pom room and it was incredible, I'd previously stayed in a small double, having the extra space, the table made a huge difference. I'll be requesting this again i think in thr future next time I stay there

Passable

Liked: Evening food and beer were good! The room (zephir) and bathroom were a little dark but otherwise fine.
Disliked: However, this was overshadowed by the fact that I woke up with ~40 flea bites on my back, shoulder, and right arm. I know it was fleas (not bed bugs), as I found a dead one on the bed that I had rolled onto in the night. I informed the member of staff who we checked out with, but please fix this for future guests!
