We have stayed here before so this influenced our choice this time. The room was very spacious and had air-con which was nice.
The cleanliness left a lot to be desired though. When the beside lamps were on the thick dust on the walls and the lamp base was very clear to see, as was the cobwebs and grime in the corners of the room. The floor had not been vacuumed either. The bed base had some ominous stains running down it too. It was a real shame that the cleanliness let it down.
The staff were very friendly and the check in was a breeze. The breakfast was delicious. We would stay again but the room we were in definitely needed a deep clean unlike the previous one we had which was in the main building.
After looking at the photos of the hotel and noting it had 8.2 star rating I thought this would be a good place to stay for a couple of nights. Sadly this was not the case.
The hotel looks tired, the carpets are stained and flooring scratched in the main areas. Paint work needs renewing. But the biggest problem was the cleanliness or rather the lack of it.
Our room was large and had some good facilities like a TV, tea and coffee and a kettle, sofa bed and sofa and a balcony.
The sofa bed was ripped on the corner and the foam was showing. The leather sofa had a thick layer of dust on the top. The balcony has a net over it to stop the pigeons flying in. Fabulous, except no one had cleaned off the old faeces that was on top of the air conditioning unit or the cigarette butts which were strewn across the floor of the balcony.
The bathroom was just as bad. There was black mould around the shower screen and the grouting and a hole at the back of the screen which meant the water ran out of the shower and onto the floor making it very slippery. The shower dripped continuously to the point where we had to use the noise of the air conditioner to cover the dripping noise. The radiator in the bathroom had cobwebs and dust in it. Things had obviously come off the wall and rawl plugs remained where the holes had been in all different colours. Mattress was dirty so were the pillows and linen was marked. The rainfall shower head fell on my head when I took a shower.
One bath towel in a double room for two people, general condition of the hotel was dirty and run down, asked for a extra pillow it never arrived.how this hotel is rated as number one in march on trip advisor is beyond me,I will not be taking any notice of them in the future!
Room was ok but the floor needed a bit of cleaning.

The location and parking were perfect for us. We found the staff welcoming and supportive on arrival, including sorting out a problem they had with the room key card system. The continental breakfast was very good and there was the option of a cooked breakfast if we had desired it.
The room was spacious and had good seating and a table which we liked. The bathroom, however, was disappointing as clearly it needs updating. The over sink light wouldn't switch on, there was a lot of mould on the bath sealant and an inadequate shower screen that didn't stop water pooling on the floor.
When I arrived there was no one at reception. after a wait of approximately 6 minutes a young man appeared and gave me the key card. I went up to the room and I found that the floor was not swept properly. The towels provided in the bathroom were filthy which prompted me to closely examine the bedding. The duvet cover had stains on the underside so I decided to turn it over. Also all of the room doors were what can only described as requiring renewing. They were scratched and scuffed and looked like they had all been kicked which Immediately made me worry that I'd chosen the wrong hotel. I found out later that the hotel had been housing immigrants for a long while and i don't think that the new owners had actually refurbished since. The outside temperature when I booked in was about 32 degrees so after getting someone the young lad from reception to show me how the air conditioning worked I asked for an extra key card to allow me to leave the aircon on for when I got back in the evening. I was told that the management didn't allow more than one key. The following morning I asked the reception to replace the towels and was told the cleaners would do that. When I arrived back in the evening they hadn't been replaced at all. I went back to the hotel to collect something in the early afternoon so needed someone to open my door as I had left my key in the room but there was no one there at all. I have mor complaints but no more room to express them. The worst hotel I've known.

I stay here at least a few times a month for business trips, unfortunately, it's gone downhill. Quality of the food, the rooms, the only good part are the staff who are friendly.
Now you pay an extra for cooked breakfast (which I would avoid)
Great one night stay. Free breakfast which was good and fresh. Lots of free parking. Friendly and helpful check in staff and good sized room!
Considering it was about £55 for a night, I was happily surprised by the quality of my stay.
We were in room 3 which was immediately above the kitchen extractor fan, the noise of which made sleep impossible. The quality of the breakfast was very poor.

The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to do all that they could. However, the rooms are in need of some work, the heating, ceiling tiles, sofa’s that aren’t worn out, etc. This would make the hotel a truly lovely place to stay.
