“Horrid Place, Don't Go!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

There are too many bad things about this hotel to list, but here are the highlights:
1) Brown water came out of the shower.
2) My room smelled of smoke and was pretty dirty.
3) It took ages to check in & out as the staff were so 'relaxed' (i.e. lazy & rude).
4) The evening meal didn't really taste of anything and was ridiculously expensive.
5) Breakfast took ages to arrive and didn't taste great. Better than the evening meal though.
6) When I asked to use an iron and ironing board, the receptionist looked at me as though I was from another planet. No iron, or ironing board, ever materialised.

“Don't Do It”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

If you check in and they try & put you in the Lawns Hotel next door - ask for a full refund & walk away! We had gone down for the Reading Festival, so were stuck with this dreadful hotel. The annexe smelt awful, we were give a double bed in a single sized room, the lights did not work & there were lots of cobwebs. We asked to be moved but at 4pm were told the hotel was full, even though we saw several people check in after us to the main hotel! After much compalining we were moved to the main hotel the next day. Rooms here were fine but poor sound insulation and there is no info in the rooms at all & certainly no Welcome message. The manager was very unhelpful & this filtered down through most of the staff. There are loads of other hotels around - use them instead !

Room Tip: Annexe disgusting, Main hotel OK

“Go because it's cheap and don't expect luxury”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011 via mobile

Stayed for one night on a girls night out. Amazing value for money with full English breakfast included. Staff were all very polite and attentive and it is their smiling faces that make me write this as a positive review. The hotel is tired but tries hard. The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazingly good! On the negative side I found the room a little dirty, the radiator was black and the mirrors needed cleaning. There were some odd stains in the bath and hairs on the floor. I found the room noisy and hot.
