Verified Reviews of The Alan

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Outdated room with poor cleaning."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The room felt quite outdated, a very large room for two people, yet the hotel hadn't included two chairs, only one when there was plenty of space. Following the morning clean, there were basics like a half drunk coffee mug that hadn't been cleaned away or tissues replaced in the bathroom. I feel misold by the website of what I expected from the hotel versus what I received. A good breakfast and lovely hotel reception, but the classic rooms are very basic and I would choose to stay at a budget hotel instead based on the room and experience.
