I don’t even know where to begin. The hotel was hard to find and didn’t look like one at all. It smelled of stale cigarettes and dampness. The carpets were filthy and sticky, clearly not vacuumed in months. The rooms were nothing like the photos- our bed was unmade and covered in hair and stains, which were clearly bodily fluids. To be blunt, there were blood, urine, fecal matter and semen stains.
We had to pay a £100 deposit, which was returned, but it’s a steep requirement if you’re short on funds. The furniture was dirty and in disrepair, and the shared bathroom was a nightmare: a broken toilet, dirty soap and shower, and hair everywhere.
A guest next door even urinated on the floor, and my friend stepped in it in the dark. We felt unsafe even with our door locked. We skipped breakfast because we couldn’t bear to stay any longer. The next morning, I developed a stye, likely from the unclean conditions and pillows.
We rushed home for baths and would never return to this place, even for money. It was absolutely foul.
