we found the hotel ok for a two night stay.the furniture in the room should be replaced because it is old and a bit scruffy.

We stayed at Normandie Hotel in November and the heat was not working. The room smelled of cigarettes and was in a very poor condition.
The staff was friendly, but we often had to wait outside the hotel for quit a while before someone would let us in.

I will never stay at this hotel again!

The room was downstairs, not easy accress if you have any disability or carrying a case. and very small and in great need of refurbishment. The bathroom was small and the toilet seat had much flaking paint and considerable movement. It was extremely noisy making sleep impossible until about 3.am. The diningroom/kitchen staff started around 7am and were extremely noisy. Both areas were next to the room. The breakfast was ok although the staff were pleasant

This place is a total rip-off. Totally mis-represented on the web-site and brochures, that say it is newly refurbished - perhaps in 1970! When I challenged the staff about this, they said the brochures were old. I said they could update the website in 5 minutes, and remove the brochures from the desk. He had no answer to that. We had to check out early because of the extremely low standard and they refused to refund the money, saying that cancellation with refunds could only be made 48 hours in advance. The room was noisy, not that clean, very shabby furniture, bed was very uncomfortable with old springs that were obviously broken, pokey shower room with no shower gel or shampoo, let alone a hairdryer. Breakfast was minimal (cheap orange juice, cheap cold white toast). And at over £100 per night, this was the worst value ever. I would rather have gone to a camp-site! In addition, I did not feel that safe. I fully expected to see prostitutes and drug dealers in the hall way, given the feel of the place. You would have to be desperate to go there.
