Before booking this hotel, I read mixed reviews and thought people were being overly critical. However, I was thoroughly disappointed.
Upon arrival, the receptionist couldn’t find my booking and spent 20 minutes on the phone. I was then taken to a room with dirty walls, no shower curtain, a shower head and taps full of lime scale, a non-working TV and a torn headboard. I refused to sleep there and requested a refund.
The receptionist insisted I stay, but I refused and demanded a refund for the second night. He then told me to wait in the reception, where another man tried to persuade me to stay. I refused again and moved to another room, which was just as bad – at least the window could open.
I told them to refund me for the second night, but they refused and called the hotel owner. The owner tried to justify that there weren’t any concerns with the rooms. I asked him to check the rooms I was offered, but he refused.
I was told I’d be given a luxury room and hoped to stay the entire time. I waited for about an hour and a half for this room to become available, but it wasn’t good either. The shower head had water dripping out, the room wasn’t ‘luxury’ and there was a broken wardrobe.
I was incredibly disappointed and was considering driving back home despite the long journey. What a waste of my £140
