I pulled up in the carpark thinking this looks derelict, except there was a light on upstairs...couldn't work out how to get in, and being a woman travelling alone, had some misgivings about going in! I found the door downstairs next to the smoking area I would say, it was crudely written to ring the bell or phone a number... More

We drove into a rubble strewn Car Park and parked next to a car jacked up with wheels missing. Entered a dimly light bar that was shabby and smelled stale. Elderly Scottish derelict showed us up to the top floor room which smelled of urine and vomit and there was cardboard over a smashed window. Next to the room was... More

Me and my friend stayed at this disgusting dump for a short stay and if it wasn't real it would have been funny. We gave this place the benefit of the doubt and wished we hadn't ! The room we had had a broken window lock,no chairs,no table no bedside cabinet,the shower head was blocked with grime and the T.V.... More

I booked 5 nights from 9th to 14th January 2011 for work contract at local engineering company. I was impressed with the affordable price per night for the single room (£30) especially as it was booked at 2 days' notice. The gentleman was very friendly on the phone and so too was the man in the pub when I arrived.... More

Location for the ferry terminal is excellent, but MHT is on a very busy road with non-stop night traffic. Bedding appeared clean. And there were teabags in room. But apart from that, it was absolutely grim. I mean: all surfaces mucky, grubby and shabby. Eg holes in walls, trash-filled hole in the floor behind the bed. Carpets worn. One mug... More
