I booked the Chelsea for 14 people for a stag weekend and don't have a complaint. Clean and friendly with no problems others have mentioned. It's not the Ritz, but it doesn't claim to be. If you are looking for a quiet and luxury room, probably not for you, but if you need somewhere to sleep and a base to... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in August and would never stay again, and I would not recommend it to ANYONE. Quite frankly the landlady is an old hag. “It” treated me and my friends like school children. Red out the full rule book to us before handing over the keys. Was so inflexible like at Breakfast time. We ask... More

Ive stayed in many hotels over the years, ranging from cramped b&b's to 5 star hotels. I dont think i have ever stayed in a worse hotel in all my life. The rooms are dirty, smells awful, breakfast was terrible and as for the staff!!! the owner was the rudest woman i have met, unhelpful, dishonest and very agressive and... More

I have to admit that reading some of the previous reviews I had misgivings about this hotel but I neednt have worried as it 'did a job'.If you're looking for 4 star luxury you will be disappointed but for £35 per night each it was perfectly adequate. I was one of 20 on a week end stag do and from... More

Honestly not an exageration. myself and good friends stayed here on a weekend away and whilst respectful and also quiet was dealt with terrible manners, service and accomodation. Avoid... More

This hotel is good value for money. It's well located if you need to be close to the railway station and also not too far from the city centre. The room was clean, comfortable, and not noisy as some of the older hotels can be. The staff were very nice. The only downside was breakfast. I booked breakfast with my... More

Party of 22 spent Friday and Saturday night there, Chrissy was nowhere near as bad as others have commented and gave us a friendly welcome. Rooms were exactly what you expect for £35 per night at the weekend in the summer. Would I stay again? Yes! More

After reading the reviews on here, I was honestly frightened about staying at this hotel. I was very pleasantly surprised - the staff were friendly and the room (and en suite bathroom) were clean. The hotel was really close to the train station - literally within 2 minutes - and although I was given a family room, I certainly wasn't... More
