The room very dirty with stains on walls and carpets, it had not been cleaned there was litter on the floor. i did the check in but as soon as i saw the room i left and did not stay at the hotel, i have a strong feeling that there were quite a few immigrants staying at the hotel, which made me feel uncomfortable. the place was so un looked after i booked another hotel elsewhere and stayed there.

Worst stay I’ve ever had - needed a place last minute and booked in. Yes it’s cheap but the self check in did not work, waiting for a text stood outside in the dark alone - I eventually got in and there was a drunk guy in the hall banging on doors with the same issue (his code didn’t work) but less able to sort it out. Got into room and it was filthy. Linen and towels were clean and a fresh pouch of shampoo so I’m sure housekeepers so their best but the building is a total state - damp all over the wall and ceiling, filthy carpet with huge brown stain all over it. Wall had grimy sweat stains from being leant against and furnishings had nails poking out where the edges were broken. The door was all controlled by a code and I felt so unsafe I actually moved the small desk in the room over to cover the doorway. People running up and down the stairs screaming all night and bashing on the walls with cigarette smells coming through. Run externally as everything done by text no one was on site to help. Lesson learned here but outrageous to charge what they do for this hovel.

I was just looking for a bed for a couple of nights and this place delivered on that. I slept well and had access to the basic facilities I needed. Also I got it at short notice whilst on the train so that worked well. However... After booking I was asked to complete online registration to get codes for the front door and the room. I did that and was sent an email and WhatsApp message confirming the codes. I also got a text asking me to book direct with Oyo instead. On arrival the front door code worked and the person at the desk asked if I had a code for the room which I confirmed. After climbing all to the top of the building I discovered that the code didn't work and had to return to the desk to get help. That involved the desk person coming to reset. The room is basic, no curtain or blind in the window so that's a privacy issue. Carpet was stained, bath was stained, cups were different sizes. So coming here depends what you are looking for. Luxury stay, no. Somewhere safe to sleep, yes.

Dirty

Won't be staying again. One of the cheapest options I could find but carpets were dirty and looked like they hadn't been hoovered in a while. Window couldn't shut properly and when I left someone was complaining of bedbugs at the reception and threatening to report the place to the council. Bed was comfy and shower was hot but hopefully wasn't bitten, I guess I will see over the next few days

The worst hotel experience ever. Shared bathroom. Carpet heavily soiled . Hole in wall behind door. Mould on ceiling. I left and didn’t stay the night after arriving at 9pm. Helpline next day was useless. Refused refund said I should have told them that night but there were no staff around at that time. I’ve taken photos and sent them to the council.

The picture is grossly misleading, and may even not be of this hotel. The carpets in my and my daughter's rooms were very badly stained, as were those in the public areas/corridor, the bathroom was disgusting, it was VERY noisy, and it was very very badly maintained. We left after 1 night. It was impossible to sleep. When person above walked across his room the whole ceiling moved and the very badly fitting windows rattled. Similar story with person next door. In terms of its adherence to regulations, I did not notice any smoke detectors in the public areas or my bedroom. I did not notice any exit route signage. In both cases I could possibly have missed them. My guess is that if this hotel were inspected it would be closed down immediately. A very shabby run down dump, masquerading as a decent hotel; in summary, a rip off. hotels.com should be ashamed of listing it, because it's their customers who are ultimately the victims of it's totally misleading pictures and general information.
State of door frame and wall in bathroom
Toilet with disgusting brown deposit on the ceramic tile
Shower soap tray with deposits dirt on it
Plug hole in sink - original plug had fallen out and now there is no grille and tap leaked so when it splashed in bottom of waste hole it was very loud

So upset, paid so much money to treat myself. The room was dirty, (have lots of pictures) even a dirty towel down the side of the bed, didn’t want to touch it. The windows were broken so could close to keep the noise out. It said would be toiletries so didn’t bring any, only shampoo left so couldn’t shower, but that was also because the blind was broken so couldn’t close it. Water noise in the bathroom all the time so with that and the noise in the room didn’t sleep. Paint falling off nearly all the walls, dirty walls and carpet. Will have to share on trip advisor and social media and watchdog, as it was awful. The price was nearly £168 pounds for one night, after seeing the room and crying tried to get another room but to pricey., as prices where up due to the rugby, only £60 the next day. Horrible experience.

There is only someone at the desk from 3pm-8pm. The room I was in hadn’t been fully cleaned (toilet, floors, walls by coffee corner), the overhead light wasn’t working and the batteries in the remote were dead. There was no one around when I had the issue. It is in a great area to catch the bus or walk around.

The hotel was easy to find on a fairly main road Parking was expensive and only 3 spaces outside The carpet in the room was hugely stained No breakfast! Had to go elsewhere The room had a big (tried to be repaired) hole in the bathroom door, the window couldn’t be opened or closed as the catch was broken The shower head was broken & didn’t stay up! Had to have the shower head in my hands to wash! No staff! Saw one lady (briefly) at reception who game me a post it not with my room and hotel entry codes on Spoke to 3 other guests who were also disappointed with the price they had paid and felt the same way as me about the state of the place Plug sockets didn’t work (my phone didn’t charge!) Lampshades weren’t correctly fitted to the lamps! Will NOT be staying here again! Thought booking through Expedia guaranteed me some sort of standards! Apparently not!
