Shalimar Hotel - B&B  

Hot, stuffy and the room was a smelly dog box

The bed

The washroom

The staff were extremely pleasant and friendly, we very much enjoyed our stay! The venue is perfect for a Twickenham weekend of rugby and I hope to use their facilities to stay for future match days! :O)

Nothing Really, just the location, it was easy to locate the hotel.

The food and the facilities

the worst hotel to stay at because they think serving breakfast by 9am is very good for business,,,,you can`t sleep a little after a late evening and by the time you go for breakfast at 9am ,,oops sorry sir it is closed ,,I was really pissed ...

1. Hotel has free car parking space 2. Free WIFI available

Bathroom was very small

The price and location to Twickenham Rugby ground

The room was filthy and stank of cigarette smoke. We sprayed air freshener around the room and opened the windows which helped a bit, went down for breakfast (I'll get on to that in a moment) and when we cam eback the room smelt like an old pub back in the days before the smoking ban! Breakfast was comical. We couldn't work out who was staff and who were guests. A rather large woman in a dressing gown walked through the dining room with a big box of washing powder at one point, and we got the feeling we were causing hassle for the staff for wanting breakfast. I could go on about the state of the hotel, but for £50 for two b&b what do you expect!

I'm not a snob and i've stayed at many hotels over the years. I booked this place to go to the rugby with my boyfriend, £50 for the night and breakfast sounded ideal, I wasnt expecting much. However, on arrival there was no parking (we had to park down the road and move the car later, it defeated the object of drinking at the rugby, because when we returned from the rugby, we had to move the car nearer) the place had a function on and it was swarming with people, when I finally made my way to reception there was no-one there for 10 minutes, when they did arrive the chap was very polite and helpful. Outside our room door was a hoover which prevented easy exit or access to the room. The room door banged straight into a very large wardrobe, leaving about 1.5 ft to get in and out.The room was crammed with too much dated furniture. The bottom of the net curtains were mouldy, the curtains were hanging off, there were human hairs in the bedding, the fridge was very noisey, there was only one towel-room was booked for 2, flights coming in every 5 minutes, adjacent door was so thin that we heard our neighbours coming in at 4, the alarm was going off at 5 because the front door had been smashed in. Got bitten alive by bed bugs. Had no sleep. There was a towel stuffed under the bed, there was a 4 can beer holder behind one of the tables left by previous people, carpet was stained, dirty and not hoovered. We didnt even bother showering, the shower was mouldy and the water cold. Breakfast was a joke, polystyrene cups for drinks, had to ask twice for breakfast by interrupting staff in the kitchen, when the breakfast arrived, 1 bacon 1 sausage and 1 egg, didnt know who were staff and who were guests. Glad to leave the place, the people that had the newly decorated rooms were the lucky ones!! We'll never go there again or ever recommend this place to anyone!! :( The place should be shut down and environmental health should be making a visit.

Friendly and helpful staff nice breakfast

Sheets and pillow cases were used. We had to ask the staff to change them.

Nice budget hotel for the money. Free parking and breakfast. Very pleasent staff, would stay again

Hated this so called hotel, we where booked in to stay for 2 nights but decided to cancel the second night and find an alternative hotel to stay, the hotel is thread bare and filthy, I would never stay here again and would recommend others to stay well away from the shalimar.

Compared to the rest of the hotel my room was relatively clean and well kept.

Public areas, especially corridors, are rather tattered, stained and smelly. Breakfast only available till 09:00, and not exactly worth getting up early for. Internet so flaky it's practically useless.
