They can improve but need to be honest

no information on refurbishment work about the property
Madhan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid - unclean and used for other purposes

I would strongly recommend not booking this hotel no matter what the price point is Very, very dated, worn and the room we were in had a broken toilet and some areas which I don't think had been cleaned in months The car park and reception areas are very clearly used by local dealers/users. Witnessed multiple occasions during our stay where people would come and go to drop packages off or collect envelopes. If you have children under no circumstances even consider this hotel. Our room was booked with a sea view and a bath - neither of which was available. Most areas of the hotel were closed off for "renovation" (no renovation was going on) Cannot recommend.

Mmm

Very dated property, had some touches to update patches of paint etc, but stood out a mile! Bath hadn’t been cleaned so i wouldn’t shower as you could see difference of clean and dirty! Could hear every conversation in the corridor and the room above/beside! Cups dirty, I had to wash them before we could use, no tea bags or milk, had to ask. No lamp shade and curtains very thin, 4 am awake with light into the room! Check in quick young man on reception helpful, room was ok for the price we paid, when leaving, men outside smoking what seemed to be weed/pot whatever you call it. Cheap place to stay and close to the theatre but would rather pay more. Big building but would need a lot of money spent to make it lovely!

hotel is old and i think it needs a complete refurb
Marek, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a lovely place, the staff was friendly and very helpful. On the days when we stayed the unique bad things we encountered were noise guesses in the room next door, so we couldn't really rest as we expected but apart from that attention at the hotel in great!

I don't recommend this place
Razvan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I was shown to room 34. The room was terrible and I’m not even being dramatic, stains all over the carpet, broken/chipped furniture, the balcony door was broken and filthy all across and on the frame, you couldn’t even open it, the bedding was supposedly clean however had a big stain on it and no mattress protector. I went to reception to complain which I never do, I was assured the room was clean however was still offered a new room rm 38 which again had stains all over the carpet the balcony door was filthy you could see broken handprints all over the area by the handle, again the furniture was chipped/broken. The accommodation is in severe need of renovation and staff to have training in customer service. The faults were so bad I didn’t feel comfortable or safe to stay here so I had to book alternative accommodation elsewhere. I highly recommend people DO NOT stay here, I was promised by the manager Ahmed I would get a refund he would approve which he didn’t, overall terrible experience and did ruin my holiday.

Very cheap, very old and basic. Ok for a night

It is ok for a night. It is very basic so if you are looking for a cheap deal is ok. Disappointed with the water temperature in the shower. Was a bit cold for me.

The service at this place is terrible. The staff are unavailable. It’s so frustrating. The neighborhood is beautiful. The place is walkable to and from the train station.

Overnight stay

Room was what we paid for - cheap and cheerful. Nothing special. Windows were filthy but the view was great. Leaving the windows open meant it was very noisy. We were next to the stairs so also heard everyone coming and going. Mattress was old and springy.

The worst hotel I have ever been in. Room really dirty, kettle dirty, squeaky bed, squeaky floorboards, moths and Flys galore. The whole vibe of place was awful and depressing. Place needs a big big upgrade on everything.
Simon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had a terrible experience. The windows did not open and were unclean. The carpet was unclean too. The beds had one pillow per person with no headboards on the bed. We had no towels and were told they were waiting on the towels - we got these just before checkout. Overall an unpleasant experience.
Niaz, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was dirty when checked in with blood on the shower curtain. we told staff who assured us they would get room cleaned. we were there 2 days and still the same when we left. very tired with a lift that sounds like it will explode when doors closing. hard to find any staff Dont waste your money staying here!

AVOID AVOID AVOID! Rip Off. Dirty. No service.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! This hotel is a building site that hasn't seen a cleaner for months. Please read more on TA if in doubt! The first room we got offered had no curtains, a dirty bath full of hair, and had a strong paint smell. The second had a burnt bed, holes in the sheets, and a filthy carpet. We did NOT stay and I suggest you dont even book. You pay on site so can't get a refund through hotels.com. We spent an hour on the phone with 'customer services' only to be told their policy required them to escalate the issue to 'the management' . 2 days later our refund request was declined for no reason. A total rip off, they know everybody would request a refund through this portal hence they take your cash on site. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Vi blev lite chockade när vi kom, då hotellet verkar vara under renovering. Gissar att det var nya ägare, och att det blir bra. Det var fullt med folk utanför, någon snickrade på ett plank och resten berkade bara hänga. Det låg skräp lite överallt, och även inne i hotellet låg det högar med sånt som rivits ned och troligen skulle kastas. Heltäckningsmattorna hade behövts täckts över eller i alla fall dammsugits, så man bodde liksom på en arbetsplats. Det var billigt, så vi valde ändå att stanna, då vi "bara" skulle sova. Parkeringen fick man betala extra för. Hur som helst, det var lite trångt och trassligt att ta sig upp till rummet med väskorna, men rummet var rent och sängen helt okej. Vi fick havsutsikt, och det var en stor rymlig balkong utanför med ett bord och stolar. Och med fiskmåsar... dom gick knappt att skrämma bort, men då jag alltid reser med en liten sprayflaska med vatten, så skruvade jag åt till en hård stråle och sprutade på dom några gånger, och sen gav dom upp 😄 Synd att der var för kallt för att sitta ute. Det var ett rymligt rum med en mindre dubbelsäng och en större enkelsäng, så det blev inte mycket golvyta kvar. Det fanns dock skrivbord och en rymlig hall med en bra stor garderob, men det fanns ingen stol på rummet. Badrummet var okej, men skulle nog behöva gås över i skarvar och tätningar. Det vi saknade var väl information om att renovering pågick, så man hade varit förberedd. Hoppas ändå att det kommer bli bra när det är klart 👍
