Booked this hotel due to it's proximity to the Motorpoint Arena, which is directly opposite and paid £65.00 for double room with breakfast. Managed to park our car in the very cramped car park and charged an additional £6.00 for the privilege. On arrival in our room we found it to be very grubby, bathroom door full of filler and... More

Our first stay at The Bid Sleep proved the point of "you get what you pay for", or perhaps not. At only £60 for a double room including continental breakfast I admit the cost was not over the top, but did include a hole in the bottom bed sheet, a non-working bathroom heated towel rail, curtains which had come adrift...

Parking The stay started with some frustration on my part. The hotel has a car park, but very limited spaces. The spaces are £6 extra for 24 hours, which is fine as this is a budget hotel. On discovering there were no spaces (because 2 cars had parked over their lines), I asked at reception (before checking in) if there... More

We paid £88 for a basic double room, absolute rip off. Small room, rude and unfriendly staff, one pillow and when asked for more think we woke the Receptionist up who mumbled that we had to go down and get them ourselves. Woken by false fire alarm at 4am, no explanation or apology, basic breakfast with not enough tables available.... More

It's many years since I last booked a room at The Big Sleep and I'm pleased to report that my recent stay was a significant improvement on the previous one, which was let down by the grubbiness of the room and noise from neighbouring guests. This time, our room was clean and in good nick. It was basic but for... More
