Location is fantastic , staff are helpful and friendly
Shower had mould round the seal which can easily be treated , only one small shelf above clothes hangers which meant living out of the suitcase for 3 days
8.0 / 10.0
Staff very welcoming and friendly. We have stayed at Forshaws a few times. It was lovely to be recognised by staff.
Room clean and warm. Bathroom clean but flooring coming loose. Towels and bed linen clean and plentiful.
It's good that the fire alarms work! We were rudely awakened at 1.00am due to alarm sounding... night staff on hand to assist.
Bar area comfortable and good to be able to sit, relax and make our own entertainment. Good supply of tea and coffee free of charge.
Cost of breafast - a bit expensive for what was on offer, so we didn't bother.
There was a smell of cannabis on the corridor where our room was. Night staff informed and went to check immediately but no culprit found.

I stay here quiet often, must be my 6th time now. The staff cant do enough to help, any issues they are dealt with promptly. Beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. Location is brilliant, right in the middle of everything, cant fault the place. Will be returning soon 😊
We was moved to the 3rd floor as our TV wasn't working, there was a slight smell in the corridor apparently coming from the drains but couldnt smell it in the rooms.

The bed was comfortable
We paid quite a bit compared to other hotels in the area for a superior room but the room was not anything close to what other rooms were like in other hotels. We were expecting the room to be nicer than it was, the place is really run down and states there is toiletries but we had a tiny bar of soup in the room and the shower gel was empty. We had to ask twice for some shower gel because one of the staff didn't know if they had any.

the bed was comfortable
hardly no power points, the room was cold was given an extra heater but got the socket very hot so could only leave on for short periods, also bathroom was very dated for a top level room.

The hotel is close to winter gardens, which was ideal for us.
The rooms are basic but decent enough for the price.
Would stay again in the future.
Bar isn't great

The location was perfect for winter gardens, shopping, the tower etc
The room was in need of some care eg paint peeling off wall, bathroom needed a revamp. View awful, heating didn’t work they did bring a small portable heater pillows very hard didn’t have much sleep so uncomfortable.

We chose this hotel because of location as we visited for the illuminations. Talbot Street multi storey car park very convenient.
Bed was very clean and comfortable.
Self service breakfast was fine.
Breakfast table could have been wiped.
External facing room on busy corner next to traffic lights was tolerable except for those cars playing loud music.

Location excellent
Staff were very friendly and approachable, Thankyou Steve !
The foyer was not welcoming and had homeless people begging on the bottom of the stairs. The carpet was disgustingly dirty as were the corridors. Horrible smell as we arrived. Such a shame as it’s a beautiful building and has so much potential.
Nothing like the photos and unfortunately the pillow had bed bugs!I got very bitten.

The hotel is in a great position with good tram and bus links while the majority of visitor attractions are within walking distance.
It is a very good budget hotel but some of the finishing touches could do with checking (carpet fitting) .

The breakfast was ok, cereal, toast, fruit, croissants, hard boiled cold eggs and ham. The location was fabulous. Bed was clean and shower room.
The window didnt shut properly so was freezing. The windows were filthy so couldn't see the lovely sea view properly.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good location. Plenty of tea, coffee supplies. Comfy bed and soft sheets. Great hot shower and huge soft towels.
Windows dirty but maybe that's a seaview hazard. No Hairdryer in room but supplied on request at reception. Entrance smelly and untidy, not a good first impression at the ground floor lift entrance but a lovely greeting and clean at first floor reception.

The staff were friendly, the bedroom was great, the bed was comfortable, the room was perfect apart from no Hairdryer and in a excellent location
The room came with breakfast but what they fail to mention, it was just a continental breakfast not worth 10 pounds, the boiled eggs were grey and a few days old, the croissant was not much better. they have the facilities to do a good cooked breakfast which would make this hotel perfect!
