Firstly I will say the lady in reception was very lovely and checked me in early as my flight landed ahead of schedule. Unfortunately my stay was not Pleasant the room aside from being very old and run down had thick black mold around the window and the room smelt heavily of mold. The bathroom mixer tap only ran hot and burn your skin hot so I ran a bath and left it for an hour to cool so I could take a dip. While in the bath I noticed the thick dust accumulation and urine all over the toilet, tiles were falling from the wall and cracked and it really was pretty grimey in there. I had only booked for 2 nights and needed to be close to the hospital but after 1 night I had to leave the hotel was extremely noisy I was woken at 1.20 am and the noise carried on until the early hours I finally got back to sleep around 5am. While the hotel is in a good location and cheap unfortunately it could really do with being more cared for, cleaning of all the mold and re sealing and painting wouldn’t go a miss, the curtains and nets were very smelly I’m guessing from the mold. I think that if they gave the rooms a thorough spring clean, some new shams and a lick of paint it could be nice but I don’t understand how they have an 8.0 rating because it truly was pretty awful there.

Cigarette burn on the sham
