The Allesley Hotel  

Nothing! Very disappointing, the only positive point was that it was conveniently located for our needs.

Having spent 60yrs. Of our lives in Coventry,visiting the Allesley Hotel on numerous occasions for weddings, business functions, meals and dances, now living in Cornwall, we decided for 'old times sake' to stay at the Hotel on our recent visit to Coventry. It has always been 'Top Notch' so we had no qualms about staying there. Oh dear, what a mistake from the moment we walked through the door into the very sumptiously decorated Asian foyer it was a disaster. We called it the Hotel from Hell. Given our room key we preceded to our room. The room had not been made up,empty beer cans and bottles, filthy bathroom and unmade bed. The second room supposedly upgraded had curtains not attatched to the rail and crumpled pillows. The third room we were told had been newly refurbished, what a joke! Lights not working, basin plug not holding water, extractor not working, T.V. remote falling apart and ceiling tiles broken and poorly fitted. Electrical pat testing had all expired in 2010! The overall appearance of the room was old and dated and tiles in the bathroom were filthy with silver fish wriggling on the floor! Breakfasts were no better. Cold coffee, no choice of either yogurts, fruit, cheese ,ham, rolls etc. The 'Full English' contained a pullets egg, very small sausage, small rasher of bacon and a pot of baked beans. The juice was watered down cordial. Breakfast did improve slightly as the week went on. We spent our time complaining to the poor overworked staff as they were few and far between. To add insult to injury my personal towel was removed from the room without permission. The corridors were unclean with dirty underpants on the floor and stale curry pots left piled on tables. We were offered a free drink in the bar for our troubles! We eventually received small compensation from the manager. We were not the only ones to complain, everyone we spoke to was of the same opinion.

Nothing it was filthy

the bedromm and bathroom were filthy after complaining we werew moved to slightly less dirty room but we could not use the shower because the mat had things growing on it. the pillows were stained and the bathroom floor was dirty. We were glad to leave.Ughhh!

Its location is very handy. Close to Birmingham Road and airport. Breakfasts very good.

Allesley Ho0tel has been going downhill for years and is stuck in 1970s New owners have spent a lot of money on public areas to cater for weddings etc, Unfortunately have ignored basic requirements of guests eg. No towel rail in bathroom, nowhere to put toiletries in bathroom, hot water in bathroom unrelable. Evening meals not very exciting and appeared to come from freezer. Chef phoned in sick while we were there so no food at night. Biscuits and milk not always replaced in our room.

Non of it. Dreadful hotel.

Dirty. Falling apart. Nothing worked. Staff dreadful. Would not reccomend.

The staff were friendly and it looked nice from outside, the reception area was quite pleasant.

Our room was disgusting, the bed was so wonky it felt like a water bed, the curtains were hanging off the wall as was the rail, the ceiling was covered in stains, obviously water marks, it was awful, we are glad it did not rain as we would of got soaked. There were double lights on the wall,only one of each set worked, one of the bed side lights did not work. The carpet we are sure there was something else living in it.The bathroom was abit out dated but that did not matter, it was the mildew in the tiles that was of concern. A good bleaching would not of gone a miss. It was reasonably priced but little things were not acceptable, we did not complain, they had a wedding at the weekend and obviously kept the better looking rooms for the event. Our christmas presant from our daughter over sea's, were tickets to the gadget show, which was grea,t unfortnately we have both been made redundant therefore the cost of the accomodation had to be very reasonable or we would not of gone to the NEC. We did not expect alot from the hotel, but honestly our room (203) was not acceptable. Regards Mrs M Thewless

The cleaners were friendly. Located near a lovely old church. Hopefully the refurbishments will improve the hotel facilities.

There were numerous switches by the bed, and the room did not have an alarm clock. A simple instruction card would have been of benefit to instruct that one of them turned the power to the TV on. The breakfast was self service with no menu to explain what hot food was on offer. The loaf that you used for toast was still thawing from being frozen, the 'orange juice' was actually watered down squash and was very poor. Personally, I did not like all the mirrored decor and found the layout of the hotel confusing with hardly any signage.

I actually didnt like anything about the Hotel. It looked nice from the road.

1st room wasnt clean, second room toilet didnt flush and smelt of sewage. Unable to find a hotel receptionist/attendanr. Unable to find any food.

Price

Breakfast

I absolutely hated it

I was disgusted that the Asian manager on reception tried to charge me £20 to check in at 12. Midday 2 hours before their check in time, but was willing to knock it down to £10 !!!! I had a 5 week old baby and had to feed her in the lounge! My father in law was given his room and opened the door to find it was being refurbished!!!!! Our room was on the 4th floor and I got half the pram through the lift door and it closed on it!!!! I was horrified!!! On the fourth floor the fire door that says it must always be kept closed was bust open!!! I'm sure this is against regulation!!! Our room was disgusting!!! It smelt like an Indian restaurant, there were boggies wiped on the wall amongst other dirty marks, the bathroom suit pinky peachy outdated sank when you stood in the shower!!! The bedspread had a burn on it and the net curtains that were once White looked like they had been dropped in a puddle!!!!! Never again !

Everything the room was shabby and the bathroom was disgusting. The grout on the tiles was black the soap dispensers looked like they had never been cleaned. Round the necks of the bottles were slimmy. The showere head was encrusted with gunge so was the extracter fan which was next to showere head over bath. The smoke alarm was hanging off the roof. The bed had odd legs that through the night collapsed. As you walked into the room the plaster on the doorway was all damaged. We had to go through a large communial area which was dark and all through the evening and night they never put on any lights on. We went with two children one in a wheelchair and one under 2. did complain and after some discussion got my money back but would never go there again.

not a lot after this weekend

cold breakfast, no hot water or cold for an hour just before we were due to go out so it was one mad rush to get ready before our taxis arrived, the only one good thing was the room attendants who cleaned our rooms and had them ready for our arrival.

We had three rooms. One was poor. Breakfast was terrible. At the end they didn't give us Invoice for the hotel payment and the excuse was the printer doesn't work. they promised us to send by e-mail, but till now, no Invoices. If you can help us to take our invoices, I'll be grateful to you.

There was no hot water in the hotel for the whole weekend. We had to negotiate a refund of 10 pounds per night which was not enough - still cost £40 per night - appalling! Service poor at mealtimes. Not enough staff serving!
