Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Ourselves and another couple booked this hotel as an overnight stop on a trip to Wales we arrived late evening so it was to late to arrange anything else. This is not a Hotel it is a Doss House and I am sure it is used for emergency accommodation for Druggies and anyone else in need judging by the weirdos walking the corridors. The place is filthy and falling apart the rooms smell vile and the smell of Shake and Vac that they use to disguise this gets in your throat. The exterior Windows are 3 inches deep in Pigeon droppings and used as a roost at night, the Carpets are Stained the Mattress is stained with the Springs poking through, there is no Hot Water in a COVID crisis, there is Mould on the Windows and Walls, the surfaces are sticky. This place should be condemned as a Hotel and they should not be able to take peoples money using false advertising . I did not expect much for the price but did expect a clean room with hot water. If you are considering this Hotel think about a Shop Doorway it would be cleaner and more comfortable, this is an absolute DUMP.

Avoid like a covid ward. Chaos at check in. Rude staff. Hotels guests openly complaining. Dirty lobby. Broken toilets. It was an absolute nightmare. Ruined the weekend. Do not use this hotel, not unless you’re that drunk you don’t care where you sleep and then I’d probably recommend you sleep rough.

Mouldy room, dirty curtains, toilet handle hanging off the wall. Would NOT recommend people staying here unless they’d like black mould exposure. Receptionist attitude was disgusting and snobby when we told her we were leaving due to the fact that the rooms are a literal health hazard.

Awful place. Terrible service and some of the guests were very rude. I would never stay here again. There are plenty better places and id suggest a skip or cardboard box would be better. Why pay money to be treated like this

Hotel feels like it hasn't been changed since the 70's. The single rooms ok, it was clean and bed comfortable. There was just two milk jiggers which seemed a bit mean, although I did get some from Reception. Big sash windows which rattled all day and night, so no sleep. Breakfast ok. Have to say there were some unsavoury residents which made me feel unsafe. On checking out I handed over my Reward Card only to finds points never added. I've tried to email and send a message on Facebook but as expected NO response. Would I stay again, definitely NO. Pay about extra and go to the nearby Premier Inn.

Level one, try to decipher and understand what the receptionist is telling you in their ancient garbled dialogue.
Level two, try and find your room through the labyrinth of passage ways avoiding the occasional passed out junkie.
Level three, over come the obnoxious stench of marijuana, urine and damp - occasionally all occurring at once.
Level four, dodge the extras from a post apocalyptic zombie movie. Game over if you encounter one in the one elevator.
Level five, sleep though the background noise of drunken couples arguing, indiscriminate fighting and slappers shagging in the back alleys.
Level six, avoid permanent hearing damage as the fire alarm is sounded indiscriminately during the night.
Dare you stay?
* two stars because the shower wasn’t as damp as the bedroom and shower gel only caused mild irrational for a few hours after use.
Ps if you stay in room 262, do not check under the bed.

Not too sure where to start really... the beginning seems a good place for this tale of misery. We stopped at this hotel the night before V Festival 2015 and I can honestly say I would rather stop in a cramped, hot, and uncomfortable (but at least clean) Vauxhall Astra! So that’s exactly what myself and my wife did. After a few casual ales with our friends in the pub across the road, we went back to check into our room. Good god I wish we had thrown a few more drinks down our necks before entering our room, and then maybe we wouldn’t have noticed the horrendous thick cloud of smog that entered our lungs on walking in. It’s like a chain smoker had 10 of his lambert loving friends round for a party. The room stunk to the point we had to leave, crawling on the ground, gasping for air. We would have opened the window to allow the fumes to escape however that led straight to a set of outside steps, allowing anyone to wander on in and steel our possessions, if of course, they could navigate their way through the fog of smoke. After our overnight stop in the car we decided we could at least get a shower in the room to freshen up before the weekend of camping. However the shower had all the force and coverage of someone spitting at you. Low and behold when someone flushed the toilet the shower would give up the will to live and stop altogether; but I can’t say I blame it, I’m sure it was around 120 years old and I’m fairly sure is was powered by coal. A few other points to also note; the bed was something the Flintstones would recognise and probably wouldn’t be happy with, the carpets, walls, sheets, chairs, telephone and anything else that you could lay your eyes on through the plume of smoke were all stained with some unknown substance and clearly hadn’t been cleaned since 1900. We stopped 3 nights in a tent at V festival and that honestly felt like luxury after seeing the standards of this hotel. Basil Fawlty must have been around somewhere. Stay away everyone, it really is that bad!!!

This hotel is run-down. The rooms are less than clean... dirty-looking carpets and shortage of towels. It looked like the hotel was also being used as a residence (council housing?). There was a lot of activity going on, people coming in and out of rooms as if they all knew each other. And to top it off, we paid too much! We thought we'd be getting a nice hotel for the price they charged per night. This place was a dump. Finding the parking lot is a nightmare. We ended up taking a taxi to the Novotel and eating there. It was also the only place that had Internet facilities. Do yourself a favour and skip this one!
