The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower had 2 settings. Scalding hot or freezing cold. The soap dispenser was over the sink, none in the shower. The light in the bathroom didn't work. The kettle lead didn't reach the plug socket and the kettle didn't fit under the sink to fill it. Minor inconveniences but nonetheless inconvenient. For £35 it was OK.

Thank you for your review, if you had spoken to use about the shower, we would have shown you how to use it. Like 90% of all small hotels, we don't provide shampoos etc. I went and checked all the rooms and the kettle in every room reaches the plug socket, so I'm not sure which room you was in.
