Do not stay here.

Room was filthy, mystery stains on every inch of the room, not clean whatsoever! Only clean thing in the room was the bedding which I was still apprehensive about. Had to buy antibacterial wipes for the light switches and handles due to how filthy they were, cigarette smell in room as well as burn marks, leak damage/ceiling practically falling apart, place should not be open!! The receptionist was apologetic after asking for my bathroom to be cleaned again due to pubic hairs everywhere, however it just seemed as if they rinsed them away with the shower instead of using cleaning products, the place was foul and there is just no effort put in to make an incredible building worth staying In, Management need to seriously up their game and staff need to ask themselves if they’d be happy to stay in those rooms…from a head housekeeper. Very shocked and disgusted that they allow guests to stay in these conditions.

No TV, room was a very poor state and dirty. No tea making facilities. No curtain on the window. The free car parking was actually an NCP car park that you have to pay for. Steer clear of this property at all costs.

The photos online and the reality are worlds apart. The hotel looked abandoned, like it was inhabited by homeless people. The smell and dirt were overwhelming. We had to watch out for broken furniture on the stairs, a damaged wall, and debris on the floor. The bedding and bathroom were filthy. We left without staying even 10 minutes. This place should be shut down, not showcasing beautiful photos from maybe 20 years ago when it looked decent.

Imagine camping without a tent, but worse

This hotel is no where near as good as the pictures, I’ll start from the beginning, there is no free parking like advertised. When I went to check in I noticed a very strange smell, can’t quite explain it but it wasn’t good. The room was bare, no tv, black hairs found in the bed, very dirty and dated. There was a kettle but no cups or tea/coffee. The bathroom was disgusting and the shower had very low pressure. The room was booked via work so had to stay, contemplated sleeping in my car. Please read the over reviews before booking this place. 1 good thing the girl on reception was helpful and polite.

Don’t book here save your money

the staff were very friendly and got us everything that we asked for but the room wasn’t in a good condition and everything was dirty and we didn’t have toiletries e.g no soap to wash hands with and the bathroom wall was gross and i decided to clean to myself because i was sick of looking at it and the shower was gross and it just looked like they needed a new bathroom all together because it wasn’t properly maintained. Then, in the bedroom carpet wasn’t hovered also the curtain pole wasn’t even on properly so we couldn’t open the curtain because we didn’t want to damage it more, some sheets were stained and some of the towels were as well and the holes in the door that had been plastered badly also the tv didn’t work because there was no arial and staff had no spare wire when asked. The area wasn’t very nice either but they can’t help that, the hotel could of been so much better if it was maintained it would be a lovely place to stay because the building is really beautiful but it’s just been let go and has clearly gone downhill, is there really a cleaner because if so they need to learn how to clean properly because it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned at all for a good while. bar wasn’t open and we where disappointed because we wanted to try it. only reason we chose this place because it was it was close to what we wanted to do and it was close to the city centre, i suggest looking at the reviews before booking this place. the place needs to be fixed.
why was the wall so dirty and why wasn’t it cleaned
this is just gross
this was worse in real life. i cleaned everything in that bathroom twice

Avoid

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.

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!

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.
