Very welcoming staff, efficient check in pre arrival, good value. Excellent shower. A very convenient hotel. Room could do with redecorating and bathroom tiling needs regrouting. Mattress due for replacement. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David 11 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Last minute booking, room was fine for a one night stay but even though it was cold outside the room was like an oven and due to its location on the walkway opening a window wasn't really an option, there was aircon but it's noisy and dries me out, other than that a very good room for a very reasonable price. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Convenient location. Room in need of some TLC. Bathroom door needs a coat of paint and there was a tatty piece of skirting board under the shower. Very dim lighting. ##### Jim Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Disappointing return visit A disappointing stay. Room small (despite paying for upgrade), aircon unit not working and small fan not sufficient for hot room. Decor drab and uninspiring. Stairs up to room smelt stale and walls needed repainting, carpet badly soiled. Fan in bathroom switched off, but when climbed up to cupboard to switch it on the noise was excessive. Limited hospitality tray. Having stayed a week ago in another part of hotel where it was more looked after and rooms a better size (with 2 opening windows which created airflow) we were disappointed ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ian 24 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Run Down Disaster This is the second time the family has stayed here. In the 3-year period it has gone do n terribly. Mould in the shower. Leaking shower tray. Cracked plaster. Noisy a/c. Uncomfortable bed. Terrible pillows. Power in our room kept cutting out too. Needs a major renovation. ##### Ian Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Whilst a little dated, the bed in the economy double room was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The room itself was dark (not great lighting and one window looking over a small yard). The bathroom was OK. The shower was over a high sided bath and was a mixer rather than thermostatic. Plenty of hot water. Towels were fluffy and big! Tea and coffee in the room as well as water and biscuits and more on request at reception. Staff were fantastic. Really friendly, helpful and wanting to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This is room only. Breakfast was not available although there was an option for a discounted breakfast at another venue. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lorraine 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I thought the room could do with updating as the walls were dirty and in general looked tired. The price didnt reflect the room. The staff however were exceptionally friendly and efficient. ##### Lorraine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fiona 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The staff were very nice and checkin was fine. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice until I’d already unpacked that there was an extreme amount of mould and mildew in the shower with one fixture even coming away from the wall and the shower door seal cracked. Also, the WiFi was not consistent: sometimes it worked well other times not so well. ##### Fiona Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Vikki 23 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Mould in the grout in the shower. Lighting in the room was very bad, almost in darkness despite all lights being on. Cleanliness was very good, bed comfyl ##### Vikki Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This hotel has a relaxed comfortable atmosphere and is positioned well, being within walking distance from the rail station. The bedroom was fine, although the carpet was looking a little tired and stained. The bathroom was well designed and well featured, but sadly the maintenance was poor - the extractor fan was visually heavily clogged with fluff, and did not work at all. The bath plug, once under water, will not eject with the rotary knob, and renders it impossible to drain the bath. It appears the entire plug-ejection mechanism is missing! All that said, it was a comfortable, quiet night. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
