Lobby great! Rooms need a deep clean

The location is great. The hotel lobby and bar area is nice and we enjoyed the view. The room has been upgraded but needs a really good clean. The carpets are heavily stained, curtains have stains on them, shower had mold in it that could easily be wiped off with a cloth and the windows are very old and covered in mold. The bed was comfortable and bedding was not bad. The double room we had for one night was tiny and the shower had mold and the carpet was stained. We then had a king premium room for 7 nights and it was a lot larger and nicer. The one robe was nice enough to use the second robe we used to cover the stained chair so we could sit on it. The fridge was handy to have for some cold drinks. The king room did have shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and a couple extra bathroom items. The double only had shampoo and body wash.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

This property is horrible. I was made to stand and buzzed for almost 7 mins before the door was opened with no apologies.For a hotel where rooms cost over £100, I expected more. I was checked a cubicle where I could hardly walk around. I bumped into the all the time. Heating was centrally controlled and I slept in a cold room. There was no shower cream. Corridors are very narrow and you have to walk to the other end of the property to get to the reception. No telephone to contact reception, they expected guests to conact reception by WhatsApp for help. Shambles and won't recommend..

The staff were nice and friendly The room was nice, with kettle and tea and coffe supplies Kettle was a bit faulty, wouldnt stay on to boil, I had to hold the button down until it boiled There was a little balcony, however it was locked off, which is fine because i didnt pay for a balcony room. However the windows were quite dirty, so it ruined the view of looking out the window. Also with the window open, the wind whistles betweeen the plastic net rail, so i couldnt leave the window open. It was extremely loud and we couldnt leave it open. So it was quite warm in the room, there was an aircon unit, however it didnt work. But overall was a great experience, the hotel was nice The location is great, right on the river and in the town centre It was a perfect for exploring days as its only a short walk to the bus or train station

Improved

We have stayed here before & could see this time that improvements have been made. Our room was spacious with a lovely view over the river. The windows clearly need replacing but that would be a huge job. Bathroom was small but the shower was good. The negative I have is that when I unrolled the non-slip mat to put down it was full of long dark hairs which was very off putting. Breakfast was good with a good selection.

On the River Ouse. Quite away from main town centre and night life. Was perfect for a night away. Room was clean, but hotel buildings dated especially windows, don't open the net curtains, I think they're there to hide the windows!!
