4/10 Fair

Dreadful place Changed rooms 3 times Uncomfortable and very noisy when trying to sleep
Simon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The photos online and the reality are worlds apart. The hotel looked abandoned, like it was inhabited by homeless people. The smell and dirt were overwhelming. We had to watch out for broken furniture on the stairs, a damaged wall, and debris on the floor. The bedding and bathroom were filthy. We left without staying even 10 minutes. This place should be shut down, not showcasing beautiful photos from maybe 20 years ago when it looked decent.
Magdalena, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here.

Room was filthy, mystery stains on every inch of the room, not clean whatsoever! Only clean thing in the room was the bedding which I was still apprehensive about. Had to buy antibacterial wipes for the light switches and handles due to how filthy they were, cigarette smell in room as well as burn marks, leak damage/ceiling practically falling apart, place should not be open!! The receptionist was apologetic after asking for my bathroom to be cleaned again due to pubic hairs everywhere, however it just seemed as if they rinsed them away with the shower instead of using cleaning products, the place was foul and there is just no effort put in to make an incredible building worth staying In, Management need to seriously up their game and staff need to ask themselves if they’d be happy to stay in those rooms…from a head housekeeper. Very shocked and disgusted that they allow guests to stay in these conditions.
Jasmin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay

Rooms need a complete upgrade, no heating, hot water or kettle Looks like a hotel used by the council!
Keith, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Imagine camping without a tent, but worse

This hotel is no where near as good as the pictures, I’ll start from the beginning, there is no free parking like advertised. When I went to check in I noticed a very strange smell, can’t quite explain it but it wasn’t good. The room was bare, no tv, black hairs found in the bed, very dirty and dated. There was a kettle but no cups or tea/coffee. The bathroom was disgusting and the shower had very low pressure. The room was booked via work so had to stay, contemplated sleeping in my car. Please read the over reviews before booking this place. 1 good thing the girl on reception was helpful and polite.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very very comfortable

The staff were amazing. It had everything you would need.
Caroline, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had to pay for the parking yet advertised as parking included, group band playing loud music till 03:30 in the morning. Kettle in the room but no cups to have a hot drink. No soap or shower fell. Toilet leaking, unclean, shower toilet. Overall advert does not reflect the actual place.

4/10 Fair

Poor state of repair. Room was back in the 1960s kettle bad repair no tea. Coffee. Sugar. Bathroom poor. Didnt stay was disguted.
John, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Where to start, was first given a room That was tiny with wires out the wall, asked for another room the lady was kind enough to give another room that was bigger, but it was not clean, hair on the showers, stain on the toilet, and pillows had stains on them, unfortunately looked under the bed and full of litter, middle of the night had another person walk into my room, so they where given a key that obviously opened the same door and the man said we was given this room, thank god I was decent!
Fatima, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel is disgusting the room was awful, dirty and if you want a shower well you need to request even a face towel The rooms showing online are nothing like the reality. Very disappointing!

2/10 Poor

It was an ok place to stay if you have nowhere else to go. Not accessible for anyone with physical disabilities. You can smell cigarette smoke on most floors. I heard some guests talking about prostitution in the hotel! The floor boards are not flush, theres dust absolutely everywhere. Its a health and safety hazard. Doors are propped open with fire extinguishers, flickering lights on the landing give a proper haunted vibe.

This hotel has to be one of the worse hotels I have ever stayed in.The lock to the room didn't work, there was no hot water just luke warm,no towels in room,I asked the guy on reception for towels but he never came back with any so lucky I had a hand towel in my bag.The socket on the wall was hanging off,there was no toiletries in the bathroom and no remote for TV and there definitely wasn't any tea making facilities.The view from the window was just a pile of rubbish and the corridors stank of marijuana.And on top of all this I've bitten from head to toe with bed bugs.I'm covered in bites.I will never ever stay here again.

Feroz khan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid like the plague

Appalling. One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. On arrival I was told the room I had booked for myself and young son was not available. We eventually were given an extremely small room. To make matters worse, the guy at reception tried to come in to our room at 07:15am on the Sunday morning while my child was still sleeping! They constantly blamed everything on hotels.com and took no responsibility themselves. Just dreadful
Michael, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very bad hotel

The hotel is dirty and needs to be renewed. The bed was broken, the closet was broken and without shelves at all. The Tv wasn’t working and was clearly broken. The bathroom had an awful smell, the shower was dirty. And the worst of all this the room has not a key. They told us to leave the room open and don’t worry about it. The hotel has no lift, so you will need to pick your stuff up to the 3rd floor. I paid a £104 for one night. The owner of the hotel needs to be sued.
Amer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely unpleasant

Upon arrival I was designated a room which a member of staff said was not ready. Argument ensued between staff in own language. Was made clear i was not welcomed. Room had no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities. On arrival room had no TV, one was reluctantly provided by three members of staff who had an argument with each other in my room. Bathroom small, damp and floor did not feel secure. Had impression is a refugee/ asylum hotel. Did not complete stay.
