We should have realised when we went up the stairs past the piles of paint pots and cement bags etc! The room itself had had some work done on it, but nothing was finished. We were shown up, but the key didn't fit, so were left while the right key was found. We should have run out there and then!... More

One would like to have given a full review of our 1 night stay in the Smithfield Hotel if one had actually had access to the bedroom that was booked in advance and paid for when we got there. Upon arrival it was clear that there was some sort of confusion. My friend had booked 2 weeks in advance over... More

For 25 pounds a night I wasn't expecting the Ritz. Just somewhere safe and clean with a bed. Not somewhere with stained carpets, faulty electrics, holes in the walls and door, doors hanging off hinges, fleas, and my personal favorite was the windows that were secured by pegs.

Arriving late in the evening after corresponding with a manager since Aug'11 we expected to find the rooms ready as agreed before. We found another manager who was not aware of our arrival and he said the rooms were all full. Imagine with a 4yr old kid and a 5 mths baby were one is gonna go in the middle... More

First the positives - the location is great near most of the nightlife and some great pubs. Price seems to be £20 pppn whichever room you are in - I shared a triple. Sheets, towels and in-room washbasin were all clean. The first floor bathroom had a decent shower cubicle and newish washbasin and toilet and seemed to have been... More
