“Hotel from hell”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is nothing short of a rip off joke. The room was dirty and the bathroom filthy with black mould. The sheets had cigarette burns and the smell of sewage coming back the toilet was disgusting. We had to buy bleach to pour down the sink and toilet just to make the smell bearable. The clubs round the corner play loud banging dance music all night so sleeping is out of the question until after 5am. No amount of money could make me stay here again and if I could I would stand outside everyday with a huge plackard saying ' for gods sake, don't stay here'. Water was dripping from the ceiling at the top of the 1st floor landing for 2 days without anything being done and as we left it was bowing to the point of collapse. With any luck the ceiling has come down and the hotel closed. If the owners gave it a coat of paint, a deep clean and made it safe ( the electrics were very dodgy) it would be a good budget hotel in a perfect location for anyone wanting to stay out and party all nght.

Room Tip: There are no good rooms. Ours was en suite but most were shared bathrooms.

“Worst hotel that I have ever stayed at”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

The bathroom stank and the bedroom door leading to a back roof was insecure.
The bedroom was small and had no proper ammeneties like teamaking, even a rail in the frail wardrobe for coathangers would have been nice.
THE WORST PART OF THE STAY WAS THAT THE HOTEL IS 20M AWAY FROM A "CAFE" WHICH BLASTS OUT HEAD BANGING MUSIC UNTIL 3-4am.
Despite claims to have 24 hour reception this was more like 8, one of the receceptionists did not even speak English
UNDOUBTEDLY THE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED AT.

“Fair for the price, could have been worse!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

The bedding was clean which was a pleasant surprise! Staff kept to the basics and conversation was minimal! Breakfast was basic but filling and ok for the price. Stairs would not be good for those with limited mobility!
