“un-organised and un-secure try to br poitive but it wasnt good”

people found this review helpful

First of this hotel called me the day before i was due to travel and said they had a stag do and they smashed rooms although they told booking.com that they had over booked, when i got there i asked to see the smashed room and they refused!

I was due to stay 3 nights first night being new years eve and then 1st & 2nd of jan
well it ended up tht they had arranged us to stay in another hotel for the night and the guy who dealt with us drove us over to it which was hand with luggage and things! Unfortunatly wen it got to new years day and we wanted to chill in room we had to slug our luggage back to park view fromother hotel which was not ideal!

By the way the other hotel was fantastic and alot better standards and cheaper than park view its called PILLARS HOUSE. Look at my review for that hotel!

Once me and my partner got settled in thos hotel (11.30 new years day mornin with a smashin hang over) the room was not clean the bedding was but the sides were thick in dust and very thicky to touch!
Veyyyy very cold room!

KEY POINT....
We stayed in the one of the rooms on the lower floor where you have to go DOWN the stair. . this room had a door in the bathroom which lead out to the public hall way which could be accesd by anyone as the hotel was not locked to the public at all at night. . anyway this door could be opened with a 2p coiin or a key or anything reali fromthe OUTSIDE this was very un nerving and we had to sleep with the bed against the door!

Told the manager of this issue she said she would get some1 2 lookat it first thing, 2 days later we left and it was still the same!!

Would not go again or recommend!!

Room Tip: If you have to stay here make sure you dont stay on a lower floor room. . the one we stayed in is no...

“Very Cold”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My wife & I and friends booked two double rooms here during the first weekend of February 2012. Rooms were not well lit, no towels, bin still full and toliet had not been cleaned, our room (No 5) had a laminate floor, old style sash windows and a very old style cast iron radiator, when we arrived the radiator was on but the room was cold, we then went out for the evening and on our return the room was absolutely freezing. in the morning complained and was told the heating would be on all day as the weather forecast was for freezing temperatures, we left the room an hour later (late morning) and the heating was still not on eevn when we left let alone we returned late Saturday night. Our friends discovered on there return to the room that the towels they left out to be changed were hung up and because there was no heating were all still wet. We spent a second night in the hotel to temperatures colder then the night before and we were thankfull that there was two singles in our room as well so we used the duvets off them to at least keep us warm in the bed, Sudnay morning there was hardly any warm water either. Total poor service, strongly recomment you avoid this hotel.

Room Tip: My tip is don't choose any...!

“Friendly and basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

We recently spent 2 nights at the hotel at the end of December. We had a pleasant stay, this basic hotel has a friendly atmosphere and staff.

“Terrible management.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

My family had to stay here (as there was no-where else available at the time), and we would rather that they had just never come. The staff were trying their best but the manager is incredibly tight fisted and would give nothing away. Vastly overpriced, and they will not offer any sort of refund when you decide that you don't want to stay here. (Which you will).

Cheap laminate flooring (on floors that aren't level). Smell of stale smoke. Often groups of men staying here working on the docks (not that there's anything wrong with this, it's just not what every family would want). Noise at all hours, no useful information about the local area. The list goes on.

To give them credit, the staff did try and help us out, but it was obvious that the owner is very tightfisted and is an expert at fleecing unwary tourists and pocketing the cash, rather than re-investing the income into his hotel.

Overall, there are some great B&B's around this area. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM! I believe the sign outside says 'Luxury with Economy'. Well, there's certainly no luxury, and it's not cheap either. The only economy I can think of is the lack of any money being spent by the management to bring this place into the 21st Century.

Avoid.
