Thomas James Hotel

Very kind staff Very clean

Room smelt of marijuana

Staff were very welcoming and helpful

Dont go to this hotel at all its not in a living condition at all the beds are old and the mattress you can feel the springs going into your back. I told the staff they did not care at all they just want your miney

Room was clean and staff were great

They no longer serve a free cooked breakfast but the continental breakfast they serve instead is plentiful and good. Otherwise it’s still great value for a clean and comfortable room. There’s easy, free on-street parking very close, as long as you’re moving your car by 9am

Good

Quick walk from the train station and into town. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Rooms are adequate and clean. Great value for a solo traveler.

The room was basic but ok. Clean bed linen and clean towels. Ideal for a stopover. Very disappointed that it was only on check in that it was only continental breakfast as the chef was on holiday. As it was free to cancel up until the day before I feel that the hotel should have contacted us prior to arrival so we had a choice if we wanted to continue with the stay or cancel and book somewhere else. The hotel obviously would be aware in advance if they had given the chef holidays.

Friendly B&B with sports bar downstairs and station nearby.

Walked by before seeing the sign to book in at TJ's bar. The room was fine. I was on the top floor and it wouldn't be for someone who didn't like stairs. Breakfast was taken in the bar was cereal and toast with some prepacked croissants and was decent. For the price paid this was good.

Amenities

Carpet was heavily and badly stained and walls had splashes of something on them. Light fixture by bed loose, light in bathroom didn't work. No cooked breakfast as advertised and didn't cater for GF guest at all. Bed was ok, pillows awful. Wouldn't stay here again. Bed

Staff was great, polite and helpful. Breakfast was done well. The room: shower water pressure was fantastic! Room location at front of the building was loud, at times, with street noise and a lot of sound coming up from the pub until the wee hours, especially on karaoke nights - beware!! Carpet was very dirty and stained and seemed to lack being vacuumed for quite a while. The real negative was the bed. I grew up sleeping on a cheap, surplus army cot with a thin mattress for my entire childhood. That was luxury compared to the warped foundation and lumpy mattress with springs poking at all angles. A really, really bad bed in room 12!!

Basic room, rooms are run down but good value for a nights stay.

The room was fine staff were very friendly

Filthy hotel, wipe your feet on the way out. Area outside full of druggies and alkies. Avoid this place . Luckily i got a refund and stayed some where else. False photos of the room too. Carpet filthy, room smelly and dirty, wouldnt even want my dogs in there that filthy.

The room was exactly what I expected for the price.

The room was in a rundown state, multiple stains on the carpet, very very worn furniture. No net curtains/blinds on the window, just normal curtains. There was no heating and when asked about this they had known since last year the boiler was broken! A plug in heater was provided but it was a fire/safety risk as it was very hot to touch and my health means I can be unsteady on my feet. No cooked breakfast either morning as stated by staff upon check in. First morning I was told there was no chef, second morning I came down to the smell of cooked breakfast and a sign saying what could be ordered yet upon asking was told it was continental only! Got told this time it was because the kitchen had flooded! The continental consisted of a toaster with a loaf of bread next to it, a tray with croissants, little cereal boxes and milk left on the side unchilled and little yoghurts which were in a can fridge. It seemed that the staff were happy to be laughing and joking around with each other and people I can only assume were local regulars but not overly concerned that the hotel was not in a fit state to provide everything they say they can when booking. I questioned why they did not state the issues with the heating upon booking and got told they hadn't used it since the boiler broke and it takes ages to heat the rooms to see whichs rooms don't have heating! Not good enough in my opinion. The only thing good about this hotel was location and the shower being hot/strong.

Staff are always super friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere in the bar, breakfast is always perfect, rooms are slowly being decorated but ideal for y needs, will definitely book again when I'm in the area.
