I was supposed to stay at the Cromwell Crown but they moved me to the Olympia. No advanced warning. No explanation. No assistance with getting to the other hotel The location of The Olympia was excellent but: The Wi-fi only extends to the reception area so there were about 5 of us huddled with our laptops on our knees. No... More

It has all been said before - I stayed here with my wife to fill a gap in our itinerary - we took a chance. BEWARE THIS HOTEL AND NEVER, EVER STAY HERE. Little insects flying around the basin, grimy furntiture, dated, mouldy, smelly, filthy, fetid, appalling customer service and I could just go on.... Remember Fawlty Towers? That place... More

We had never experience anything like that before. We were badly bitten by bed bugs. At the moment we have skin infection caused by bed bugs. I do not need to explain the suffering that this caused and continues to cause to my family. More
