Where to start, was first given a room That was tiny with wires out the wall, asked for another room the lady was kind enough to give another room that was bigger, but it was not clean, hair on the showers, stain on the toilet, and pillows had stains on them, unfortunately looked under the bed and full of litter, middle of the night had another person walk into my room, so they where given a key that obviously opened the same door and the man said we was given this room, thank god I was decent!

This hotel has to be one of the worse hotels I have ever stayed in.The lock to the room didn't work, there was no hot water just luke warm,no towels in room,I asked the guy on reception for towels but he never came back with any so lucky I had a hand towel in my bag.The socket on the wall was hanging off,there was no toiletries in the bathroom and no remote for TV and there definitely wasn't any tea making facilities.The view from the window was just a pile of rubbish and the corridors stank of marijuana.And on top of all this I've bitten from head to toe with bed bugs.I'm covered in bites.I will never ever stay here again.

It was an ok place to stay if you have nowhere else to go. Not accessible for anyone with physical disabilities. You can smell cigarette smoke on most floors. I heard some guests talking about prostitution in the hotel! The floor boards are not flush, theres dust absolutely everywhere. Its a health and safety hazard. Doors are propped open with fire extinguishers, flickering lights on the landing give a proper haunted vibe.

Avoid like the plague

Appalling. One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. On arrival I was told the room I had booked for myself and young son was not available. We eventually were given an extremely small room. To make matters worse, the guy at reception tried to come in to our room at 07:15am on the Sunday morning while my child was still sleeping! They constantly blamed everything on hotels.com and took no responsibility themselves. Just dreadful

Very bad hotel

The hotel is dirty and needs to be renewed. The bed was broken, the closet was broken and without shelves at all. The Tv wasn’t working and was clearly broken. The bathroom had an awful smell, the shower was dirty. And the worst of all this the room has not a key. They told us to leave the room open and don’t worry about it. The hotel has no lift, so you will need to pick your stuff up to the 3rd floor. I paid a £104 for one night. The owner of the hotel needs to be sued.

Extremely unpleasant

Upon arrival I was designated a room which a member of staff said was not ready. Argument ensued between staff in own language. Was made clear i was not welcomed. Room had no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities. On arrival room had no TV, one was reluctantly provided by three members of staff who had an argument with each other in my room. Bathroom small, damp and floor did not feel secure. Had impression is a refugee/ asylum hotel. Did not complete stay.

I was initially given a room with no handle on the ensuite bathroom door. I was then allocated a room which had no handle on the main door and had to be left ajar. With no other rooms available I had to sleep in the first room but use the ensuite in the room next door. The following morning when trying to shower, I discovered there was no bath towel in the room, only a small hand towel. On requesting a bath towel from reception, I was told there were none available as they were all being laundered. Without doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in during my 60 years!

place needs shutting down. When we walked in our room we could smell feces coming from the drains in the bathroom, the shower was broken and completely unusable, had been giving one small hand towel. The room was filthy and way too hot and uncomfortable and we were bitten by bedbugs. To make matters worse, while looking for an item that slipped down the middle of the 2 beds put together, we found a used needle. absolutely horrid, i am fuming. asked for a refund at the desk and showed them pictures, they said the room had been cleaned and refused a refund and said we would need to go through the booking company. they we’re very rude to us.

I hated the stay. No idea how its gptten the stars it has on expedia but this place is not a hotel. It was dirty overall. Corriders had black bins in various places. The room was horrible, with some switches burnt and unsafe looking, other switches hanging off. Bed was dirty (with what looked like tiny curled hair, use your own imagination on what those could be). And then there was the noise. I had no sleep during the night. The other guests or whoever was living in the other rooms were loudly knocking on doors. The location was great and parking was free but i will never stay here again as i dont think thats worth enough to stay in a dingy hotel with risk of electrocution and the bed that looked as if it was probably infected with bugs. I shudder even thinking about it as i write this review.

One of the horrible experiences of my life... third class. It is better to sleep on the road than to choose this hotel next time. I have no option here for photo attachment otherwise I will show it.. 1. How the cupboard door was broken. 2. No one came to clean the room or change the bed sheet or towel or toilet in my two days (self service). 3. Housekeeping staff not available. 4.They join two single beds for a double bed. 5. No tea kettle available in the room. 6. Fridge is not available in the room. 7. Bins are also not available in the room. 8. You can't sit on the toilet properly and it's full of mold. Many other things........ Select ibis or other hotel for quality standard.
