Hotel could do with bejng updates, very tired rooms, one pillow, poor shower, mould on the bath taps. The breakfast was very poor, pancakes were hard, hash browns were broken in pieces. It just was not value for money. The reception staff who checked us in was the only real positive, they allowed us to movw rooms without fuss.

The property was clean, but it needs a bit of an uplift: some doors won't close properly, etc. It was a good stay in general, but the bar was mostly empty with what looked like no barman at the bar. The location was not bad, however prepare for a nice 10-15 min. walk to the area where you coud have a lunch or dinner.

Wish I had slept in my car

Disgusting hotel. Service fine enough. Conditions are actually so horrendous it is insulting to any traveller. There are midges (biting insect for those who don’t know) INSIDE the building, swarming under the light in the hallway. But don’t worry … they are ALSO in your room. I slept over the sheets, my girlfriend slept under… both of us trying to avoid bugs if you know what I mean. Public hair in the bathtub. The bathroom smells of human feces (yes, it really does). I didn’t dare eat there. This place is nasty. No one should book it. The building is old and should be properly cared for and shown some respect. So should the guests. Just a complete joke- the value of this hotel is horrible. It is BY FAR the worst hotel I have stayed in in my life. Motel 6 in USA is actually finer in many ways. HAHA. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS AND ALWAYS CHECK THE REVIEWS.

Essentially paid £100’s for storing luggage

Arrived at 1300 to check in earlier, was refused and told to come in after 1500, which I told them that I was unable to until extremely late. He assured me I could do that so I left for the event, I asked if I can leave my luggage in the meantime, he agreeed. I arrived after the event to find out my booking was cancelled and was refused a room unless I pay again.

Although it was clean the room we were in needed some TLC to bring the room to a standard finish. Coffee in the room was of a non brand and tasted like it ...yuck. They put up the price for the date we wanted but they should have included breakfast for that price hike.

Over priced

The check in was terrible it took nearly three hours . The hotel is very over priced we paid £399 for a double room for one night .There was a kettle but it doesn’t fit under the tap to fill it . Not enough staff on the bar and it looks very run down outside. But the room was spotlessly clean. We cannot comment on food as we did not book breakfast but I assume it would be along wait as it didn’t look like they would cope with the amount of residents staying . The staff were very nice but need to check people in as they arrive rather than waiting until 3pm and then checking in all 170 rooms that is just impossible, there would be some rooms available as you cannot clean all the rooms at the same time. We won’t go there again but I will say it is in a perfect location for the stadium, a brisk walk along by the river and you miss all the crowds. It was worth the trouble to see ACDC and all their lovely fans.
