6/10 Good

3 star at best
Rooms were pretty tired. No iron in the room. Very basic hotel room. The air conditioning barely worked so had to open the window but it’s was incredibly noisy outside. Complimentary toiletries were made up of a shower gel and shampoo attached the wall and an a hand wash for the sink. Felt very much like a premier lodge except in a poorer condition. Have no idea how they claim to be 4 stars

2/10 Poor

Very Disappointing Stay
Check in was very friendly. The room was mostly clean, but very dated decor. There was a water leak showing in the room, and stains from previous water leaks. Very uncomfortable bed, which was made worse by the fact I was woken up repeatedly by other guests on the floor, who thought slamming doors at 1-2am in the morning was a great idea. Reception were not empathetic at all to a night of very poor sleep. Would not stay at a Penta hotel again, the photos you see when you book are not the reality!
