Station Hotel

Great location and clean.

Overall the place wasn’t completely terrible. However, upon arrival the front door was locked and nobody was at reception, we couldn’t even make it into the building before issues started to occur. We phoned the number that’s written on the front door and a lady answered and said there is a lock box on the side of the door, gave us a code and that would let us in. The code did not work and she said “if the code is not working i’m unable to help you any further”, and then she hung up. We kept trying the code and eventually got in which took us about 20 minutes. There was no one at reception, we had no idea what room we was in, had to call yet another number to find out what room we was in. The lady on the phone said there was a code to the door and told us it over the phone which let us into our room. We were in room 10 under the stairs.  The bed was okay, nothing special. However the skirting boards where falling apart and there was bits of the wall all over the floor. The bathroom door did not close, it physically did not fit the frame in the wall. There was 1 toilet roll which was paper thin, and there were 2 of us in the room. Also the shower floor was stained with what looked to be tried blood, and was “hidden” by a clear shower mat.  The worst part of all, me and my friend came back from clubbing around 3am, we got into our room and there was a man standing outside our window (we were on the ground floor), he was banging and pounding for about 5 minutes. We had the curtains shut and were sat on the floor away from the window so he couldn’t see us. However the bathroom window was wide open and he was trying to talk to us through that. We tried to phone and get hold of someone from reception but of course there was no answer. If i was you, i would avoid this place if you can. It gave us somewhere to stay for the night but i certainly won’t be attending again.

Great hotel

The hotel is a short walk from the railway and within easy access to the Cathedral and city centre. I stayed there for 2 nights. In the 1st night, the bathroom light was out of order as there was no one in the hotel to take care of it. Nothing was done in the following morning, and the only thing to be done is to change the room in the afternoon. The hotel looks tired and needs some touching up, yet the rooms are spacious, functional and clean, and the bed is comfortable. There is an issue with dampness in walls though it is not too serious. If you look for a budget place to sleep at night, this is the place for you.

Virtually uninhabitable cheap and nasty, dirty and no one working there. Had to call a remote person who was looking after 5 different hotels. There were bloody hand prints on the walls and the pillowcases were different colours and dirty. The clientelle, although polite did not inspire confidence in ones personal or property security. Priceline sold me this hotel room and are making it very difficult to get my money back - there needs to be a return to proper access to proper customer service where foreign companies have to have contactable office in the countrys they operate in. Avoid this hotel and PriceLine I have used Priceline many times and while things have gone ok its appears ok but you really get to know how good a company is when things go wrong and they are very poor.

The hotel doesn’t have a staff to help you check in. Only a telephone posted at the door to call. Not advisable to book on hot weather as no air conditioning. Lots of cobwebs and shower drains lots of hair. Sheets have stains and pillow cases not iron. It’s not comfortable! Avoid as much as possible! No WiFi!
