I really don't know where to start. The hotel itself presents a shabby ,down-at-heel image not helped by mattresses propped up in a corridor and a computer monitor sitting on the floor behind the front door. The best, however, was saved for me when I arrived in my 'superior' room @ £95 per night. I was immediately aware of a peculiar aroma which pervaded the room and which I traced to a kitchen type fridge which clearly had not been cleaned for months if not years and from which emanated what I can only describe as a foul stench. Curtains did not fully cover the windows and the curtain tie-backs in the bathroom were either mouldy or so old as to appear so, I did not get close enough to find out. The crowning glory of this experience occurred when I pulled back the bedding to find that the sheets appeared not to have been changed after the previous occupant and were what I can only politely describe as 'soiled'. When summoned to change the bedding, the staff tried to persuade me that these were just laundry marks! Breakfast is served in the Indian Restaurant situated on the ground floor. The table cloth had clearly not been changed from the previous night as evidenced by the liberal spread of curry stains on it. I have to say that the bacon and eggs were edible and the staff generally were pleasant but the place needs a total clean from top to bottom and needs to be managed by someone who knows something about the hotel trade. Whoever gave it three stars was either blind or daft, most probably both!

The Skyways hotel is the worst hotel in the UK I have ever stayed in (I stay approx 10 nights a month away from home).

Check-in required payment in advance (not good).

trying to find somewhere to park in the carpark was impossible, and having been literally blocked in by (yet another) white van (bringing the total in the Carpark to about 20, in about 20 spaces!) I wouldn't recommend it based on this experience alone.

However, the bad news doesn't stop there - oh no, it just got better!

I entered my room to find old (wet, and grubby) towels in the bathroom, which looked like it might have seen a j-cloth in about 1975.

The room did have a tv remote control, but no tv. I eventually found this item upside down in the wardrobe (it didn't work). The telephone was revolting and in any case, wasn't plugged in - the box was hanging off the wall by the wires.

I also noticed at about this time that the curtains needed to be drawn, but there was a problem: There weren't any. I eventually found them in the other side of the wardrobe, along with the curtain pole, which appeared to have been ripped off the wall.

The bedsheets were dirty, and appeared to have been slept in by persons unknown.

The sound insulation was non-existent, and I was subjected to the (loudish) background music from the restraunt (Indian) and bar right under my room, although to be fair, they did turn it off at midnight.

The bed was uncomfortable, and I just couldn't sleep more than about 2 hrs at a stretch. Finally, I gave up at 6am, and left.

And no, I won't be going back.

Having visited many hotels both nationwide and in different price categories, the Skyways Hotel,Slough must be near the bottom of my list for well run hotels.
The standard of the room and quality of decor was poor.On our arrival we had been provided with a threadbare towel each and no toilet paper in the poorly cleaned bathroom where a set of old decorating ladders had been left for us to fall over.
We stayed one night after failing to find another hotel room that was free in the area.The room was left untouched on the second day. The two towels were now wet and not replaced.
We were able to move that evening to a much more acceptable standard of hotel for which we had to pay again. We didn't even consider eating breakfast in the hotel.
