Good value hotel with free parking. But no breakfast on offer, no bedside lamp, and could not get water to run hot.

De reviews over dit hotel beloofden niet veel goeds. Ik zou hier niet beland zijn als er in andere hotels nog kamers vrij waren geweest. Het hotel is in slechte staat en behoeft een grondige renovatie (het pand is prachtig). De kamer was op zich schoon, maar oude meuk ziet er ook schoon smoezelig uit. Het hoofdkussen: de hoes was schoon maar het kussen was ronduit smerig. Gelukkig was er een tweede kussen. Die was acceptabel. In de listing werd er aangegeven dat er een fõhn, waterkoker, shampoo en zo zou zijn. Maar er was zelfs geen wc papier. Dus dat heb ik zelf maar even gekocht om de hoek. De douche was een drama. Verkalkt en nooit meer schoon te krijgen. Dus eigenlijk een erg slecht hotel. Maar: ik werd geweldig geholpen met het parkeren van een grote bus. De eigenaresse verplaatste daarvoor haar eigen auto. Allervriendelijkst. Dus ik ben er met een sympathiek gevoel vertrokken.

the staff were very friendly and got us everything that we asked for but the room wasn’t in a good condition and everything was dirty and we didn’t have toiletries e.g no soap to wash hands with and the bathroom wall was gross and i decided to clean to myself because i was sick of looking at it and the shower was gross and it just looked like they needed a new bathroom all together because it wasn’t properly maintained. Then, in the bedroom carpet wasn’t hovered also the curtain pole wasn’t even on properly so we couldn’t open the curtain because we didn’t want to damage it more, some sheets were stained and some of the towels were as well and the holes in the door that had been plastered badly also the tv didn’t work because there was no arial and staff had no spare wire when asked. The area wasn’t very nice either but they can’t help that, the hotel could of been so much better if it was maintained it would be a lovely place to stay because the building is really beautiful but it’s just been let go and has clearly gone downhill, is there really a cleaner because if so they need to learn how to clean properly because it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned at all for a good while. bar wasn’t open and we where disappointed because we wanted to try it. only reason we chose this place because it was it was close to what we wanted to do and it was close to the city centre, i suggest looking at the reviews before booking this place. the place needs to be fixed.

Many things were a problem: Radiator was on full blast all night, so could not sleep due to heat. Valves did not work. Water pressure in shower was very low, so water was almost dribbling out. Hot water took some time to come, and when it did, it was either too cold or too hot. To was not connected when I arrived - this was sorted after I mentioned it to reception, but there is no remote control. Cupboard was dirty, and had one broken hanger, so could not hang my clothes. There was no soap in bathroom. Was given one bar when I told reception, but no shampoo. Staircase was rather dirty. There is no lift, and staircase is quite steep. The location is good, and hotel has potential to be good, but needs better management who know what it takes to run a good hotel.

Close location to the National Space Centre, tiny NCP carpark next to hotel. That's where the good points end!! Rated 3 star, this hotel is not! Being generous I would give it a 1 star rating. Going to a gaming convention held at the National Space Centre a few of us chose this hotel due to convenient location and photos showing a bar, pool table and somewhere to eat. All these amenities were not available to use, apparently they won't be ready until next month. There is an unpleasant odour throughout the hotel. The room, curtains that didn't draw open, broken door to bathroom, door handle falling off from the bathroom side. Looked like someone had used the toilet and not flushed before making the room ready for check-in. Toilet paper and yellow coloured water greeted me when I went to use the toilet! Towels provided were small hand towels, mattress was the thinnest, most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on, I've walked on more comfortable carpets!! Pillows, if you can call them that were almost paper thin and pointless having. Exposed electrical wires above bed, made safe by some duct tape over the ends of the wires!! We were looking forward to our stay here based on the photos of the hotel, please do yourself a favour a do not stay here! There should be a visit/audit by a hotel inspector arranged, as this hotel should not be open for business. Just feel conned in spending money to stay in a place this bad.

Room was filthy, mystery stains on every inch of the room, not clean whatsoever! Only clean thing in the room was the bedding which I was still apprehensive about. Had to buy antibacterial wipes for the light switches and handles due to how filthy they were, cigarette smell in room as well as burn marks, leak damage/ceiling practically falling apart, place should not be open!! The receptionist was apologetic after asking for my bathroom to be cleaned again due to pubic hairs everywhere, however it just seemed as if they rinsed them away with the shower instead of using cleaning products, the place was foul and there is just no effort put in to make an incredible building worth staying In, Management need to seriously up their game and staff need to ask themselves if they’d be happy to stay in those rooms…from a head housekeeper. Very shocked and disgusted that they allow guests to stay in these conditions.

No TV, room was a very poor state and dirty. No tea making facilities. No curtain on the window. The free car parking was actually an NCP car park that you have to pay for. Steer clear of this property at all costs.
