“Dump”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

person found this review helpful

My room was a broom cupboard i think. The room was about 2metre by 5metre. All the drunks come back at 11:30pm and then at 3am. So you dont get much sleep. The extra beding in the cupboard was all dusty and then to top it all there was dried sick on the bedside cabnet. DONT GO TO THIS PLACE? and yes it does smell of curry.

Room Tip: Dont choose a room

“Don't waste your money, this place is a complete dump!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2011

I stayed here with my daughter a few weeks ago. I asked for a twin room but was told there wasn't one but I could have 2 doubles at the special rate of £96.00. When we arrived the house smelt strongly of curry which didn't bother me too much. We were shown to our rooms and unbelievably my room was a twin room!!! The rooms were filthy. The towels virtually bald and frayed at the edges. The toilet was black and didn't flush properly. The main boiler for the house was in my en suite. There was a bedside lamp but no socket to plug it in. The floor hadn't been hoovered for weeks. There was hair everywhere and even a dead wasp on the bathroom floor. My daughter's room which was meant to be a double was the size of a broom cupboard. Needless to say as soon as we were up in the morning we left, not bothering with breakfast. What a rip off!!!!

“General fine but smells a bit off putting”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2010

Was looking for cheap b&b in Guildford this does fit the bill. Though the acomadation is generally clean but smell strongly of curry so don't stay there if this would bother you. The food was fine but basic not big on choices. It is a ok place to stay but there are better places to stay in Guildford for simliar money.

“Far from a good experience.......”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2009

My parents attended a wedding recently in Guildford, this B&B is closeby to the reception venue and seemed to be an ideal choice. The rate they paid was £65.00 a night which is quite steep for a B&B in Guildford but they were happy to pay for it due to the proximity of the B&B to the reception.

When they called to booked the room they made a reservation for a double room but upon arrival were given a twin room. This isn't a huge deal except they were given Room 6 in the building which is located in the roof void. My mum is 5'4" at the most and she had problems walking around the room with the low ceilings.

When they arrived at the hotel they basically dropped their luggage off and headed straight to the wedding. Naturally they got back late in the night, first thing they noticed when they got back to the room was there wasn't any toilet paper in the bathroom!! Surely this is a basic necessity in a B&B or hotel, usually you'll replace the spare toilet paper as there should always be a spare in the bathroom, alas no.

When my Mum went to bed she accidentally pulled the sheet covering the mattress up as she thought it was the sheet between her and the quilt. Once again usually in a hotel there will be a sheet between you and a quilt!!! When she looked under the sheet the stains on the mattress pad were pretty grim, she really didn't want to sleep in the bed but had no choice at that time of night..... On top of all of this the beds were rock hard and neither got a good nights sleep.

When they woke up in the morning they went into the bathroom to use the shower but found the towels were rock hard from many many uses. At this point they wanted to check out pretty much immediately and went down at 9.05am. They asked if there was a possibility of getting a cup of tea but were told the kitchen closed at 9.00am.... You would think after charging someone £65.00 a night they may be more flexible than to flatly refuse someone a cup of tea 5 mins after the kitchen closed. Sounds a bit Basil Fawltyish!

At check out my Dad mentioned to the lady in charge that the room had no toilet paper, all she said was 'Sorry about that'. Not much use late at night when you need to use the toilet!!

From what my parents said we would have to agree with the assertion of 'infolondon's review below that 'The lady who runs the B&B has obviously lost her passion for running the place'. She really couldn't care less.

All in all for the price a very poor experience. They would certainly recommend you look at other options in Guildford before staying here, especially due to the ridiculous room rate.
