Where do you start with a place like this? First of all, the rooms are the smallest ever - basically a box room with a single bed. They look like they last saw a lick of paint somewhere in the mid 1970s. Paint was peeling off the ceiling and the general decor was utterly depressing. Dark and dingy. Same story... More

I stayed in Room 21; the hotel was booked for me by a supplier and, having read the other reviews, I must have had the best room! Sure, the entrance, stairways and dining room carpets and décor were dire - very dire indeed, but my room was huge and modern. Good points of the room: Great new bathroom area (wet... More

I stayed for a 3-night business trip in a single non-smoking room. The lobby, breakfast room and Sports Bar were very dark and battered, but the room was ok. The paint was coming off the walls in the bath-room in two small places, but they have a heated mirror which does not steam up while showering. The towels were exceedingly... More

I had planned to stay here for 6 nights but moved out after one. My supposedly 'executive room' was cramped and dark. The shower didn't work and one of the washbasin taps didn't work. Stair carpets dirty and torn. Dining room carpets looked filthy. Breakfast room bleak, breakfast basic. All in all, best avoided. Al. More

I really didn't like this hotel. The rooms are small, mould was growing through the damp parts of the (smelly) room. The sheets I had were not very clean and they rested on a mattress that had clearly seen better days. Staff were not particully helpdful or pleasent (service with a snarl). I wonder whether the owners really want to... More

Stayed here on business in the summer. Had a single room. Room was very small. Both the room and the bathroom had mould. Bed was old. Being the summer the room was very hot so you have to have the windows open. My room was on the front and deliverys started at 6am. The person I was with had a... More

I had the unfortunate experience of having to stay in this hotel during March 06, thankfully it was for one night only. DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL IF YOU CAN HELP IT !!!! Let me start with main reception that was a difficult and slow process. Building up to the rooms now, opening the door to the room was... More

I am now a Manager in the Hotel industry but had the misfortune to stay in the Guildford Hotel for 2 nights in September. The stay was meant to be a two week one but I convinced my company to move me to another hotel. I arrived at the hotel after a six hour drive at 9pm to be told... More

What the hotel lacks in facilities it makes up for in location. There isn't a restaurant however with a high street on its door step who needs one. Great breakfast. More

Very faded hotel with cramped public areas and dated decor. Situated on noisy street, and double glazing totally inadequate to keep noise out. Checkout too slow. Would not stay here again. More
