Cheap place to stay.

Not the nicest of hotels I'm afraid. Staff were friendly and helpful, but the room was not clean and very tired looking. Very little in the way of fixtures and fittings, not even a tv in the room. Won't be going back.

Health hazard

Room was disgustingly dirty and small Shower was filthy and no hot water Double bed pushed up against wall so only one side available to get in and out Woke up this morning covered in bites Staff not interested in my dissatisfaction I also paid for delux double room and when I complained was told not a deluxe room but hotel was full. Best thing that could happen to this disgusting hotel is to be demolished I wouldn’t even give this girl a rating I have also just got home and checked my card activity to find out that I have been over charged for my room

The hotel is not comfy.. the walls are not well maintained, the bathroom shower is broken and there was no apology after reporting it upon arrival. £50 damages fee was collected but it was returned after checking out. I feel it’s too much for a room that is not standard. The room door and lock are ancient and super weak, and it compromises security.

Absolutely disgusting, floor was filthy and full of stains. Beds were full of stains & hairs so bed sheets/covers were not changed. Toilets didn’t work. Broken glass around the room and worst part was the bed were full of bed bug. They told me they had no more room so I had to go sleep in the car with my 2 kids because I wasn’t letting my kids sleep in that room.

Rather stay in a cave than visit The Bank hotel

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The room was faling apart. Every fixture in the bathroom had been tried to repair with silicone. The bed was at least 10 years old, I have slept better on the ground. The drain in the shower couldn't handle a shower longer than 2 minutes without it almost overflowing. They charged a 50£ security fee. A fee that could replace everything in the room.That fee should have been refunded within 10 days of departure. A month later and I still haven't received anything. Would never recommend anyone staying here.

Disgusting

First off, we arrived and we told our booking had been cancelled. I checked my email inbox to find an email from Hotels.com, to say the hotel had sent me a direct message - "Your booking has been cancelled". Not an official cancellation, no refund, nothing - just a direct message. The man behind the desk argued with us for ten minutes before I eventually just agreed to pay (again) by card as we were late for a family event nearby. Secondly, the whole place was grotty and dirty, there were dirty handprints all over the walls, hair in the sink and everything smelt of cigarette smoke. Thirdly, the lady in the room opposite us seemed to have a stream of visitors throughout the night, banging the door hourly and waking us up. The hotel has to buzz everyone in so was clearly aware of these men coming and going. Fourth, we were charged £10 for parking, then directed to a service yard full of lorries. Basically paid double for a vile room in a vile hotel, we would have just driven back home instead only the street was declared a crime scene whilst we were there and we werent able to retrieve our car for several days.
