Wish I had read the reviews on here before booking this hotel! The first room we were shown didn't even have a proper door - looked like the real one had got busted in a police raid or something and replaced by a temporary plywood structure. Inside, curtains drooped at dirty windows. Bathroom not clean, water wouldn't drain from sink... More

The room stank of damp, the windows were wide open to mask it. The TV didn't work. The room was very tatty and looked like it had not been decorated for years. Based on the cheap rate I paid I take this for what it is but if I had paid the walk up rate I would have been disgusted. More

On arrival I was met by the night porter who clearly does not do customer service. Never smiled or welcomed me and just uttered the price of the room and gave me a key card. I had to return to the desk to tell him the card would not work, to which he said "that's surprising" in a tone that... More

We stayed here for weekend, we didn't arrive until 1.45am. It was dark and we were tired. The room was really basic and very rundown. The breakfast wasn't good at all and didn't look appetizing. There was a lot of strange characters hanging about too which made feel very unsafe. The hotel seemed more like a hostel for the homeless... More

To be fair to the staff, they were friendly and professional both when we booked and checked in. However, the hotel was one of the worst that I have stayed in. It was very cheap admittedly, but the lights in the corridor didn't work, the room felt very dirty although the sheets were clean enough, there were stains on the... More

Walked in and the guy at reception had an attitude problem. Had to phone the booking agent therefore had to use hotels phone and the reply was 'can't you use your phone, what's wrong with it?' it will cost me, he said. I was just lost for words. I had no choice but to stay here, never again though. More

This Hotel WAS GRUBBY, however the bed sheets were clean. The matress was cheap and nasty you could feel every spring, wall paper was hanging off the walls,but thats nothing compared to coming in from a twelve hour shift at work to find you cant get a shower.I phoned reception but he just hung up on me and never sorted...
