Gateway Lodge

Such a bad check in. Took 15-20 minutes to get me into the room, which was terrible. Pictures on adverts did not represent the place. Shared bathroom with no toilet seat. Just such a bad experience. I prepaid for 2 nights and paid for another hotel second night so I didn’t have to stay.

We didn’t even find our room. After about an hour of trying to find it in the dark, we finally got in. We had been given a code but no room number. We entered and there were two shared toilets. One of the rooms was ajar but all others closed, so thought it must be our room. Unfortunately, there was a man in the room who obviously got as much of a fright as I did. Decided at that point we were not staying and ended up trying to find another hotel in the middle of the night. Would not return or recommend.

Just fair for the price

The window was cracked. The roof was leaking into the bedroom. No cleaner. Single bed 1 pillow 1 towel paid for double room. No lightswitch. 1 bulb between a lamp and a light with no switch. Sockets didnt turn off.

Without doubt the worst place I've ever stayed. If I could have moved somewhere else at short notice I would have done so. The place is not secure, not safe, not clean, not as advertised in many ways and shockingly inadequate. My room had a flimsy lock, wires coming out of the wall, no lamp anywhere near the bed, thin curtains, dirty/ stained carpet & chair, no cupboard/ wardrobe. The list goes on and on. THe guy who runs this place largely does it remotely over his mobile. Parking, advertised as free & no need to book, is a joke. My advice to anyone thinking of booking this place is - don't!
