Forshaws....
good location... room was nice and clean... the place feels like a Hostel and not a Hotel... the breakfast is very expensive £10 (which i did not have) as there is a Pound Bakery just around the corner and offers better value... the bar/eating area within the Hotel is like a student union... I asked about recycling some plastic bottles I had and was told there was no recycling facilities... very poor!

Won't be staying here again
Building is extremely run down, previously stayed here when it was an Ibis and couldn't fault it however now seems poorly maintained, examples: lightbulbs not working in the room or in corridors, uneven bathroom lino (bumpy from previous flooding from shower), coat hangers above the spare bed (so was unable to hang anything up or our daughter would have anywhere to sleep). The room didn't appear to have been properly cleaned- dust. On a positive note- the bed was comfortable and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful however appeared to be over worked. We saw one cleaner running up and down the stairs, hoovering, emptying the bins- working very hard! Perfect location! Before you park!!! Ask about the discount for parking in the multi-story on Talbot road, we wasn't told until we were leaving and could have saved over £10!

2/10 Poor

Awful and dirty.
Awful room. Dirty carpet, dirty bed linnens, no hand soap in the bathroom dispenser. Windowsills full of dead bugs. Great view, but the room in so bad condition we checked in to another hotel.

DON’T WASTE MONEY,DON’T BOOK HERE!!!!!!
Our stay should have ended on Friday 18th October. We have had to check out this morning for our safety. The hotel is dirty,with stains all along the corridor in level 1,the room wasn’t much better but the bed sheets were clean so after much deliberation between our family on Sunday when we checked in,we decided to stay. Dirty skirting boards that didn’t look like they’d ever been wiped clean, mould in the shower,shower head was filthy. The whole room,actually the whole hotel was in desperate need of a proper, deep clean.The fire alarm went off twice on Wednesday evening, which I know is nobody’s fault but the procedure which followed was a joke. I went to reception to find out what was going on where & we needed to go,and the man on reception was just stood there. He told me he’d rung the fire brigade. If he’d rung the fire brigade because he couldn’t be sure if there was a fire or not, why wasn’t the hotel evacuated until the fire brigade could tell us there was no fire and the building was safe? The security in the building leaves lots to be desired. The fire door at the end of the first floor last night was wedged open, not safe!! The door to get into the first floor accommodation does not have a working key entrance which is another safety concern. Anybody could walk in the hotel at any time and gain access to the corridors. An absolutely appalling stay in a disgusting hotel that clearly didn’t care for the safety of it’s guests

8/10 Very good

Basic accommodation with good location
Room basic but adequate for short trip where you only need the room for sleeping. Could have been a bit cleaner especially in the bathroom. Big problem with key cards for the room(s) we had; repeatedly not working and had to go to reception to get re-programmed. Breakfast expensive for what you get; continental £10 each whereas you can get a full breakfast in other establishments nearby for less. Location good for promenade with tram stop just across the road. Nice, friendly staff.

We were given the wrong room type (an accessibility room) but it was satisfactory except for the shower, which was a wet room. Not worth making a fuss about. Front desk staff were very accommodating. Good location and good value for money. Don't let the exterior fool you, it is being upgraded.

Ok for a short stay
Budget hotel. Opposite the North Pier. Noise from a club until 2 am. Ok for a short stay. Our room smelt of cigarettes even though there is a no smoking policy.
