Just some context before you read the below, I understand that if you are staying in a budget Hotel, there will be some shortcomings, that is why they are budget, so I don't usually give bad reviews, I try to see the positive in most things, but if you are considering this Hotel, you need to be aware of the following, certainly if you have underlying health issues particularly chest problems or Asthma.
I booked a twin room for one night with a friend of mine for a social trip on the 19th October 2019. The Hotel itself is situated off of a main road and has a small car park at the front and rear of the property. I would describe the property as an old Victorian house which has been converted into a Hotel, so far so good.
There were a number of trades people in the Hotel and their vans were parked in the car-park, I assumed they used this hotel due to it's location and value for money prices.
The reception staff were lovely and the checking in procedure very pleasant with a full explanation of breakfast etc.
I was pointed to a basement room down a steepish flight of stairs just off of reception.
As we went down the stairs I could hear an electric motor and saw in the hallway a dehumidifier running and a strong smell of damp. On entering this basement room it had a very low ceiling height which I would say was no more than 6 feet, my head was just scraping on the ceiling.
The damp issue was the major problem in this room, there was condensation on the inside of the windows, the walls were damp to the touch and an extremely strong smell of damp in the air. On the plus side the room was clean, you just couldn't stay in it if you valued your health !!!
I hadn't realised that there was no on-suite, only a shared bathroom, this isn't very well sign posted on the room description, this didn't matter as there was no way I was staying in a damp room.
The receptionist was very apologetic but could not offer me another room as the Hotel was fully booked, I asked for a refund (which I never got) as there was no way I was staying in the room.
Would I recommend this Hotel - hell No
Will I be booking a room in this Hotel again - see above !!
