“You get what you pay for!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

Check in was smooth & staff very friendly. Room very basic, no haidryer as stated on website. Bedding was clean although headboard had some suspect stains on it - no pleasant - we made sure our pillows did not touch the headboard. Bathroom was very clean - noticed a leek on the day we were going home which we reported. There was only 5 tv channels - no freeview. The carpet in the bedroom needed either replacing or a good shampoo - there were numerous stains. Did also bring us more pillows on request but still were too low.
Breakfast was ok - dont expect too much in the way of continental it was cereal, toast, fruit or crumpets.
Was ok for 1 night but probabl wouldnt stay there again

“Budget hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011 via mobile

Please give this place a chance. Staff friendly food excellent. We've stayed 3 times and we will be back again. Bear in mind you get what you pay for. If you want luxury stay elsewhere.
One tip is to eat there the food is excellent and really good value

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

This hotel is nowhere near luxurious, but when paying less than £45 per night for 2 people with continental breakfast, I would not expect so.

The service was efficient and polite, if not 'friendly'.
The room was very basic and does not have the amenities the website lists (eg Hairdryer). However, it was properly clean, as was the bathroom.

“like looking for the Holy Grail”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

My son and I booked this hotel online, and on our way we were delayed and phoned ahead to ask if a meal would still be available as restaurant closes at 9pm. The lady assured us that it would not be a problem. BUT. Because there is only one advertisment sign close to the hotel which is in an industrial estate which use to serve an airport we went round in circles until we eventually came to the hotel which has a large model plane on it's porch roof. Once inside the owner was well laid back and very helpful telling us to take our time and then he'd show us to the restaurant. The meal was one of the best we had ever eaten and very reasonably priced. Our twin room was spacious enough and clean and tidy although a little out of date as was the bathroom. BUT all we needn't was a bed, a bath/shower and food and this catered for all. For those who don't expect Savoy style accommodation for a small price then this hotel, with all it's faults is very good value for money.

Room Tip: The only thing we found not to our taste was the tea and toast breakfast which we had to fetch for o...

“Wipe your feet on the way out!...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed 1 night in this excuse for a hotel, the place isnt signposted at all from the main road and using my columbo powers of detection i eventually found the place. The outside resembles a gypsey camp site and with the dog hair in the flower beds more like a bosnian mass grave!...The staff were present and showed me how to open the main door - didnt tell me anything else about the facilities available - if there were any..??The room was well equipped for a 1 night stay,a wall mounted tv, a kettle with coffee and milk.. although the decor is tired and shabby. The bathroom had mould in the tile grout, The duvet was paper thin and the pillow felt as though i was sleepng on a pizza box. The curtains allowed more light in when drawn - so i was kept awake by the glowing orange security light outside, it was like close encounters of a third kind.. Breakfast was something from a hostel, and the cooked breakfast you had to pay for - this isnt advertised on the website!...I have stayed in some dodgy places in my 19yrs in the Armed Forces - but this place is like a bad night in bosnia.
