Disturbed sleep

With an old building it comes with squeaky floor boards. Could hear footsteps from the room above me. Which seemed to go on throughout the night.

I’ve stayed at this property multiple times and never had a major issue. However, on this occasion I spent 2 nights without any hot water and therefore no ability to wash. I mentioned to reception after the first night, expecting it to be resolved but it was not. I was told to email them after the second night to discuss compensation and whilst the beginning of the conversation was good it amounted to very little. I was promised “head office” would be in touch to resolve the situation, which didn’t happen. Rather than any compensation I was then offered a discount on my next nights stay, totalling a measly £11 discount, which felt like a further insult after not being able to wash for 3 days. Steer clear at all costs!

Not great

Hotel Inspector would’ve had a field day with this one. Weird little staircase to rooms (unsuitable if you have mobility issues) Dirty room with ill fitting carpet, dirty, stained bathroom, I especially regretted lifting up the toilet brush to use it. Windows don’t fit so it’s drafty and they didn’t lock - room leads to a fire escape so someone could have easily broken in from outside. Staff didn’t speak good English, but they did manage to convey that front door would be locked from 10pm and that I could use my room key to open it. I immediately knew that wasn’t going to work (I did try and fail at 9.50pm) so I opened my window and literally clambered back in, essentially breaking in to my own room. Classic!

Hotel awaiting a major fire.

Externally the render and paintwork was cracked, blown or missing, the wooden sash windows were propped open with waste paper baskets, bottles of water and toilet rolls. Pot holes at car park entrance in unlit alleyway. Inside the building things really went down hill, kitchen had been recently shut without notice, small bar area for locals used to double up as reception desk. Stairwell and passage carpets smelling of stale dust with huge old cobwebs present in most areas. The room on the 2nd floor had no water pressure for a shower, no hot water in the sink (I had to boil the kettle for a shave and quick sink wash), massive crack in the ceiling, very noisy night times being unable to close the windows properly. Overhearing other guests queuing to complain to reception about the conditions, I asked a staff member if the building was under new ownership awaiting a major fire for the insurance. The building is so neglected throughout that even a £500,000 refurbishment wouldn’t cover the work required.

A very tired hotel. Room had a broken window, peeling paint and bar was out of draft beer and closed early. Fortunately room was clean if dated. Needs a big makeover.
