It was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, in my entire life. The rooms stank of overused bleach; the furniture was super old and the decor was awful; we didn’t want to drink from the plastic cups provided that were all wrapped up in wet and covered bags in bleach on the bathroom sink. There was a conference chair in the room used for the desk, it was awful. I just don’t know how to explain it, stayed in far FAR better places for less money than that. It was dirty; looked like an abandoned building, basically, that had a load of old furniture in it. It felt like an apocalypse. I FELT SCARED! Not to mention looking outside around the building there were stacks of old bricks /weeds, and even when we were walking to our room there were abandoned rooms. With old tea cups on view though the windows / even the clean laundry for making up beds was on display in a disgusting room. I would give this hotel no stars. There was a problem with checking in the reception, they really worried us as he couldn’t find the booking and charged us an extra.
Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: Everything.

Staff were pleasant. Rooms were small but very clean. Breakfast was OK. But everything good was negated by the fact that there was a cat in the hotel. It was allowed to run around freely - it was in reception, being taken up to the rooms by residents and running around while we were served breakfast. I am allergic to cats so had an itchy throat and eyes etc., but allergy aside, I think this is totally unacceptable. This surely creates a health and safety issue? Are animals allowed in an environment where the public are being served food? And where you pay £90 for a bed for one night? Not impressed. Would definitely not stay at this hotel again.
Liked: Rooms were clean.
Disliked: Allowing a cat to be in the hotel.
