The welcome was perfect from very friendly staff and I slep well and is in a good location.The hotel looks as if its been a long time since any attention was given to the decor, our room looked very tired and the bathroom was not as clean as it could have been. The continental breakfast was meagre to say the least, cereal, toast, old fruit, and amused many other guests. Not good value for the money.

Ideal place to stay for a gig at The Piece Hall, but our room was grotty. Stains on the carpet, scribbles and writing on the furniture, a headboard that was peeling. A fan would have been nice in the room because it was so hot. No air-con. Our room card would not work despite going back down to the desk twice. The guy on reception was very friendly and welcoming though.

Firstly I need to say that the staff at this property were brilliant- friendly, polite and very helpful. Breakfast was basic but fine. The location for Halifax was great- just a very brief walk from the Piece Hall, with the bus station and cheap parking on the doorstep. But my room was in a poor state, with a stained carpet, pen graffiti on the wooden furniture, and electric cables pinned down with gaffer tape. The electronic door handle was loose which gave me no confidence that the room was locked or secure. I paid very little so it was fine for the price, but do not expect luxury!

Acceptable for the location to the piece hall but the place needs a full revamp. Our room was tatty disgusting stains on the bedding. Carpet was wet. Tv remote didn’t work hardly any plug sockets. Breakfast was sad no tea coffee just juice. Cereals and crossaints and toast. Staff were friendly check in was very easy. Wouldn’t return unless completely redone. Parking next door was £2.50 for 24 hours which is very reasonable.

The guy that worked on the front desk was excellent at customer service. He was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the hotel itself needs a lot of TLC. The room was grim. The furniture was old. The bathroom stank of cigarettes. And the bed was so grim I didn’t take my clothes off and slept on top of my other t shirts laid out on the bed. Yes, I know it was cheap. But it was also the most depressing hotel I’ve stayed in. Gave customer service 5 stars. 1 or 2 stars for everything else.
