6.4/10

I recently stayed at Pavilion Hotel for a unique experience, but it left me feeling disappointed. The quirky decor and eclectic design were fun, and the location was perfect for my plans. However, the room was cold, and I had some issues with cleanliness and comfort that overshadowed the positives.

Rooms

The room I had, named Enter The Dragon, was uniquely themed but uncomfortable due to its cold temperature and awkward shower setup. There were no additional blankets, and I ended up having to sleep in my coat, which was quite unpleasant.

Breakfast was left outside the room and was quite minimal – a bottle of Weetabix, a croissant, and a carton of juice – definitely not something I was happy about.

Facilities

The facilities felt lacking, especially with a broken TV and a missing hairdryer that added to my overall discomfort during the stay.
