Zaheer's Hotel

Turned up after a 2hr drive to a carpark full of rubble and the inside of the hotel completely demolished. Nobody there, nobody answered any of the telephone numbers and ended up sleeping in my car! Pack of ars3wholes

I arrived at Zaheers after a long drive down, I was greeted on arrival with cold refreshments, my room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. Just outside a train station it was easy access for me and my family to get into london and into Cambridge for sight seeing. I cannot recommend this place enough and cannot wait to go back in the summer! 10/10 for me

Please please do not book this place. It is an absolute hole. Room door wouldn't even lock. Walked out and will now try and get a refund from ***********. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. IT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.

This is not a hotel in the sense of the word which would be understood by any literate individual. We had booked 2 nights after looking at the website which advertised an establishment with an Indian restaurant, bar and as one would expect at most hotels, actual staff. After arriving at 7pm with 3 young children following a long flight and drive we were met by a staff member with a similar level of warm as a flask of liquid nitrogen to be informed that the restaurant had closed permanently and the bar was also closed. I was told, ‘I can give you a can from the fridge to take to your room’. After going to our rooms and finding that the hot water did not work in either room I proceeded downstairs to find the establishment completely unmanned. The reception and bar were locked and we were seemingly the only people in the establishment. My young children were scared and freaked out by this unusual turn of events. When I messaged the numbers in the photos below I received no reply for 3 hours. Eventually I mailed again asking to cancel our second night as my children were too scared to stay a second night and I would like to speak to a staff member at 8:00 the following morning in order to discuss a possible refund. I was simply told that the working hours were 15:00 to 20:00 and to contact *********** They thankfully were very helpful and professional. This is not a hotel, it essentially functions like a substandard Airbnb without any of the benefits of that alternative service provider. The flophouse is located in a very rural area not within walking distance of any amenities. They were kind enough however to leave a local pizza delivery leaflet in the room as a supposed alternative to their non-existent restaurant. If one was looking for a place to hold an illicit ***** based event, perhaps with some additional paid service based whoring, this place would be perfect. If however, you have a family and worry about what might happen in the event of a fire or injury during the night, then you would be better of staying in a Salvation Army hostel, at least they have staff.

filfy dirty, no hot water, no food or drink available, no staff just an envelope by the entrence with your name on and a key inside, the place is a shambles, rubbish everywhere, outside is terrible old matteresses, kitchen waste with rats, maggots, fire doors wedged open, fire escapes locked, fire extinguisher's 3 years out of date, the place needs to be shut down

We had to curtail the booking as there was no hot water for washing or showering, no staff at all, no-one in attendance in the hotel, no dining or bar open, the place gave the impression of being unsuitable for accommodation. The outside was a mass of uncut grass and weeds growing everywhere. I have photos to confirm. Do not book this hotel! As Jesters, it was excellent.

This is an extremely bad hotel. Do not stay here. I felt threatened and intimidated by the staff and extremely nervous. The rooms are filthy and the food was foul. We ended up having to sleep in our car.

AVOID AVOID AVOID I booked a room at Zaheer’s Hotel and Restaurant for Friday 12th August evening. Check in was from 3pm, we arrived at 2:30pm only to find the whole place completely closed and looked run down. It looked closed for business entirely. It had a board and sign out front that said closed for business. I tried ringing the number on the booking numerous times, only to have no answer. I also rang a mobile number supplied on the booking which was the ex hotel manger that no longer works there. I messaged via *********** in advance of my stay to day we are arriving early and no reply. I peered through the doors and windows of this so called ‘hotel and restaurant’ and saw a number on a a4 piece of paper scribbled to call. I called, it was a lady saying she’ll be there in 15 minutes if we could wait to give us a key, we had a wedding to get to and didn’t want to be late but we had no choice as she said no one would be there when we come back. she would leave our key by our car (not professional at all). When we returned back in the evening the place was closed still and empty. We did not stay at the hotel, we walked into the room, only to find the door did not lock and the front door was open. Everywhere looked completely locked up, it was not what I was imagining from a hotel at all. It was a closed not Indian restaurant. NOT A HOTEL The fact we booked a room, which had no lock on the door is unsafe, especially when we had no idea who else was in the building. The front door was open so anyone from the street could walk in. There was no one at the hotel, or reception. The building looked completely run down. I left the keys on the reception desk. I took videos of the broken door and I am really disappointed. I was chargers £85 for a room which was unsafe, mis sold as a hotel room / hotel and restaurant when they were basically closed as a business and we did not sleep there. We had to sleep in the car in a lay by and then drive home, we came a 2 hour distance from where we live! I understood check in was 3pm, but it is shocking that we get to a hotel 30 minutes early to drop bags etc and the whole place looks closed down! This is complete miss representation They are refusing to give me a refund, complete fraud of a business! DO NOT RECOMMEND
