the cleanliness was not up to par, particularly the bath. i spent a good half hour trying to get through to reception just to ask for toilet paper since there wasn't any. also, i could hear a child running around in the room above until nearly midnight, quite disruptive.

poor bar service unprofessional staff
i found the bar service surprisingly poor. i waited ages for someone to appear, and when they did, a huge queue formed instantly. the staff member then wrestled with a bottle, even joking about using his teeth because he was so busy. it all seemed a bit unprofessional, really.
