The description for this hotel is very misleading. it says: The front desk is open daily from 8am - 7:30pm. Front desk will greet guests on arrival. I arrived at about 3pm to find the hotel locked up. On phoning the hotel, I was told to go to a different hotel. Someone took me back to the Esplanade and checked me in. I also had to go to the other hotel for breakfast and to check out. This was just inconvenient for me, but for someone with mobility issues would have been completely unacceptable and the hotel should not misrepresent the position in the listing. Other issues relating to the listing: No bottled water in the room Very limited toiletries in the room (soap only) As well as the issues with the listing I had the following issues: The bathroom light wasn’t working Only one time was offered for breakfast The room was very, very noisy. On the noise issue, I expected some noise as the hotel is located on the front. My room was at the back of the hotel overlooking the castle. It overlooked a small square which was extremely noisy until around 10pm. In addition, a drunk fellow guest kept me up from 1:30am despite my earplugs. The staff at this hotel were lovely, but I definitely don’t recommend it.

They roof had a leak and wasn’t fixed before we arrived so the room was smelling a bit. Shared bathroom wasn’t ideal and there were no shampoo or shower gel provided. The kitchen staff got our breakfast order wrong which wasn’t ideal either as we had plans early to check into another hotel that morning. The lady who checked us in couldn’t be nicer which was the best part of the hotel. We also had to check in at a bar which is unusual and it took a while to get someone and then to show us to the room. There is also no iron or hairdryer provided in the room and we were not advised at check in if any were avaliable.
