Amhurst Hotel

The toilet and kitchen were fine, though both quite small, and suitable enough for a one-night stay. The bed was comfortable, even without a headboard. The room was okay, but the window and things around it were dirty. The curtains had stains, and the window itself hadn’t been washed.

We left before making it through even one night. The place was so bad that driving four hours home seemed safer than staying. The stairs to the room felt as though they might collapse in a strong gust of wind. There was no proper check-in system or reception, and the building was filthy. The room was disgusting: stains on the walls that I don’t want to think about, dust in every corner, a rusty kettle caked in limescale, and a broken, filthy mini-fridge. The bathroom was just as bad, full of grime and dead bugs, like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages. When my partner went to use it, we heard what sounded like someone walking around outside, waiting for her to come out. It was terrifying. When we tried to check out, a man was smoking inside the building. He seemed fine at first, then turned extremely hostile. He accused us of possibly stealing from the room, said “we have dodgy people staying here,” and demanded money before letting us leave. My partner was badly frightened, and it confirmed we’d never come back. I’d give this place zero stars if I could. It should not be licensed as a hotel. It’s unsafe, unhygienic, and run by people who clearly shouldn’t be in hospitality. Do yourself a favor and avoid it entirely.

The resident cat added such a sweet, homely touch, and the garden was peaceful and well kept, just right for relaxing after a day out. I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful the whole time.

The garden was a great spot to chill, and they have the best cat! Staff were super nice and friendly, so the service was a great experience. The room was okay for the price, and the wifi worked really well. The neighbourhood was kind of noisy. Our kettle and TV didn’t work well, and the bed was saggy. I could feel the spring every time I turned over. For the money, it was absolutely okay!
