Upon arrival the first thing that struck me was how shabby the exterior of the building looked. The doorway we headed to was indeed boarded up! It looked incredibly dated.
After entering through a different doorway we were facing the reception where the hotel receptionist took some details and gave us our key.
Our room was first floor. Upon entering our twin bedded room the first thing that struck me was the small size, this followed immediately by the smell of cigarettes and what i can only describe as a musty odour.
The decor in the room was incredibly dated, the windows were filthy, the furniture was tatty, and the wallpaper looked damp. Not great at all. The bathroom was awful. Mould around the shower head, around the taps, around the bath etc. Looking into the toilet i was greeted with, nasty looking stains. I did my best to not touch the shower curtain at all.
On a slight positive the bed linen looked ok. Only one pillow however.
The tea making facilities were basic, though one of the cups were dirty. In hindsight i should of demaded another room or full refund following all of the negatives.
Some friends joined us for our last day. They were given a room on the ground floor and were only staying for one night.
They were greeted by a worse situation than ours!
The carpet in places was actually damp, with black mould, one wall in particular was wet, wallpaper peeling. They even had mould on the bed sheets!
Trully horrific, i'll never forget this hotel. Disgusti
