Good location, bad room.

Great location for festival. Large balcony with good views. Bed on slope so uncomfortable and room smelt funny. No hand wash.

8/10 Very good

Over all it’s ok only the shower pressure is to low need to repair or adjust room 34
Raju, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Noisy room, drunk people next door. Very supportive reception staff. Dangerous shower and bath facilities.
Matt, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Im sure this place is nothing more than a drug den, no body on reception, police presence, dirty shabby looking building
Mandy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Look further a field

Short and sweet: you get what you pay for. Windows wouldn’t open had to put a wedge in so it would, curtains stained with unknown substance. Pillowes we had on our bed was sofa cushions. Bathroom tiles was coming up. My daughters window by her bed would have been easy for anyone to open from outside luckily was was on 3rd floor.

They can improve but need to be honest

no information on refurbishment work about the property
Madhan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel is very old, there is renovation going inside so its mess and dirt everywhere. Think they should close it for now. Room was ok to sleep- nothing else. Kettle and 2 cups provided- no tea coffee etc. Its also not clearly stated but they charge £10 extra for parking per night which is quite expensive. We won't be back anytime soon.
Katarzyna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid - unclean and used for other purposes

I would strongly recommend not booking this hotel no matter what the price point is Very, very dated, worn and the room we were in had a broken toilet and some areas which I don't think had been cleaned in months The car park and reception areas are very clearly used by local dealers/users. Witnessed multiple occasions during our stay where people would come and go to drop packages off or collect envelopes. If you have children under no circumstances even consider this hotel. Our room was booked with a sea view and a bath - neither of which was available. Most areas of the hotel were closed off for "renovation" (no renovation was going on) Cannot recommend.

Mmm

Very dated property, had some touches to update patches of paint etc, but stood out a mile! Bath hadn’t been cleaned so i wouldn’t shower as you could see difference of clean and dirty! Could hear every conversation in the corridor and the room above/beside! Cups dirty, I had to wash them before we could use, no tea bags or milk, had to ask. No lamp shade and curtains very thin, 4 am awake with light into the room! Check in quick young man on reception helpful, room was ok for the price we paid, when leaving, men outside smoking what seemed to be weed/pot whatever you call it. Cheap place to stay and close to the theatre but would rather pay more. Big building but would need a lot of money spent to make it lovely!
Tina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a lovely place, the staff was friendly and very helpful. On the days when we stayed the unique bad things we encountered were noise guesses in the room next door, so we couldn't really rest as we expected but apart from that attention at the hotel in great!

Work in progress

Before our stay I received an email confirming our booking for a Deluxe Double Ensuite room with a sea view. One day before our trip I received a call from HH Hotels informing me that if I had any questions just to call them. On our journey to the hotel I received another call telling me that the sea view room was no longer available. She said "You haven't paid yet and you booked with Hotels.com" I could have a Deluxe Double Ensuite room. We were given what could only be described as a hell hole in the basement near the fire escape. The route to exit was flooded. The carpet worn, the sink had major cracks which were black with mould and lack of cleaning, the shower had no door or curtain and again was disgusting. The velour headboard was thick with dust. I reported this and was moved to a small but slightly cleaner room. The door handle in the bathroom was broken and couldn't be used, therefore could not be closed. The shower was just no good at all , either scalding or very cold. The bed was comfortable. There were ample plug sockets. The chap on reception was there when we arrived at 2035 again for breakfast and late that same day. He was helpful and polite.

Very cheap, very old and basic. Ok for a night

It is ok for a night. It is very basic so if you are looking for a cheap deal is ok. Disappointed with the water temperature in the shower. Was a bit cold for me.
Ramon, 1-night trip

The service at this place is terrible. The staff are unavailable. It’s so frustrating. The neighborhood is beautiful. The place is walkable to and from the train station.
Sandrah, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Overnight stay

Room was what we paid for - cheap and cheerful. Nothing special. Windows were filthy but the view was great. Leaving the windows open meant it was very noisy. We were next to the stairs so also heard everyone coming and going. Mattress was old and springy.
Beverley, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I was shown to room 34. The room was terrible and I’m not even being dramatic, stains all over the carpet, broken/chipped furniture, the balcony door was broken and filthy all across and on the frame, you couldn’t even open it, the bedding was supposedly clean however had a big stain on it and no mattress protector. I went to reception to complain which I never do, I was assured the room was clean however was still offered a new room rm 38 which again had stains all over the carpet the balcony door was filthy you could see broken handprints all over the area by the handle, again the furniture was chipped/broken. The accommodation is in severe need of renovation and staff to have training in customer service. The faults were so bad I didn’t feel comfortable or safe to stay here so I had to book alternative accommodation elsewhere. I highly recommend people DO NOT stay here, I was promised by the manager Ahmed I would get a refund he would approve which he didn’t, overall terrible experience and did ruin my holiday.

2/10 Poor

The worst hotel I have ever been in. Room really dirty, kettle dirty, squeaky bed, squeaky floorboards, moths and Flys galore. The whole vibe of place was awful and depressing. Place needs a big big upgrade on everything.
Simon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had a terrible experience. The windows did not open and were unclean. The carpet was unclean too. The beds had one pillow per person with no headboards on the bed. We had no towels and were told they were waiting on the towels - we got these just before checkout. Overall an unpleasant experience.
