The Airman Hotel

Stayed for one night as had a spa day booked down the road the next day. We arrived just after 7pm and I had received a text to say what our room was and that the key was inside. No problems with finding a place to park. Entered up some extremely squeaky stairs to an unmanned reception. The decor was very dated but doesn't bother me personally. The room - 25 We entered to a good sized room with ensuite bathroom. The walls seemed all tatty and stained. Carpet didn't appear too bad but I would suggest not walking around bare feet. Old furniture and mattresses. Beds however were fairly comfortable and sheets appeared to be clean but I wouldn't trust that they were. Bedsides lamps did not work. Walls very thin. We had young children next door so could hear them when we first got there. Had kettle and few tea and coffee bits. The bathroom- Did not look like it was adequately cleaned. Had towels, bath mat and little soaps and shampoo. Shower was okay. We never saw any member of staff check in or check out so you would have struggled if you wanted to talk to someone however I believe there was a number on the text. We only had one night so could put up with it but definitely wouldn't stay again. Quite tatty and skanky. Advise to hotel: Just a lick of paint and a deep clean would do wonders. ideally a refurb too. -We just want to add he had a Turkish meal next door and it was lovely! Will do a separate review for that.

Hands down one of the worst places I have ever stayed in my entire life.. the whole place stunk of cigarette smoke, but it is apparently a non-smoking hotel… my room overlooked the dustbins which had regular rodent visitors at night… the shower was terrible with a dirty stained shower curtain… the carpets stains were gross, I couldn’t walk around bare foot.. random bits of furniture stacked in my room..sweaty drip stains on the walls… I could go on and on!!!! STEER CLEAR OF THIS HELL HOLE!!

Where do I even start. Firstly, the hotel itself feels like it’s falling apart, and not in a traditional “rustic” way. The lobby’s floorboards wobble and creak, with their stains covered by the overly dim lighting. The room wasn’t small, however the good things stop about there. The bathroom lights did not work. The floor was covered in plastic peelings from the chair, in addition to the dead flies. The bedding was awful; the duvet and pillows seems as if they were made from the same material as sponges, with sheets like sandpaper. I understand this place isn’t meant to be the Ritz, but charging £70p/n is extortionate. The TV worked, though it’s remote didn’t. I only had it on so the background noise of the other TVs in the hotel was diluted. The walls were paper thin. This excessive noise wasn’t helped by the hotel being on a main roundabout; If you find it difficult to sleep due to noise or bedding, DO NOT STAY HERE! The room had tea making facilities, of which I had no trouble with. However some other facilities, which are normally expected for £70p/n, weren’t available. These would include a hairdryer, iron, and possibly even a Safe of some kind. In summary, this hotel is NOT worth staying at. Being an independent hotel, I know that they would struggle with lowering the prices. However, for £70p/n, this place is daylight robbery. I would say this place would be worth a maximum of £30p/n, most likely even less.
