Barry's Hotel  

The only good thing about staying at Barry's Hotel is that you can walk into town easily. However, it is at the seedy end of town so I wouldn't recommend walking home to it. Even when you get a taxi back to it late at night, the atmosphere is quite hostile as there is a very rough nightclub on the premises and between the customers and the security staff, we didn't feel particularly safe trying to enter the hotel on either night.

We didn't like anything. From the moment we got there, everything was awful. The extremely loud and rude receptionist told us that there was no lift and that we had been told that - we hadn'T. We were only given one key, there were four of us. We had emailed and specifically asked for four single beds but got given the room with a double and two singles because the room with the four singles was awful - the receptionist's own words - the room we got wasn't great. Not very clean, tiles hanging off in the bathroom, four small and hard towels, bathroom door didn't close properly, the beds were incredibly lumpy, the iron we had to ask for was black and smelled of burning, the breakfast we got on Saturday morning was horrific - the sausages were sour, the bacon was a lump of fat, the fried egg was burned, the teapot with the coffee was broken and the whole bar area where the breakfast was served was the nightclub the previous night and the tables were sticky and the whole place had a filthy feel to it. But probably the worst of all was the horrendous noise all night long - on Friday in particular there was a very hostile crowd in the hotel and the noise of them fighting did not stop until after 6am. On Saturday, people in the next room to us were still drinking and shouting at 7am. We didn't approach any of these people or even venture outside the rooms because we felt very intimidated. An awful experience...we will never be back.

I won't ever go back, it was noisy and uncomfortable. Staff was unprofessional and inefficient.

I always assumed in winter one would have heating in ones room !! After being moved once the staff couldn't be less bothered a out the heating being off ! Very poor

The location is good.

It was too expensive for the weekend we stayed which was a busy weekend. It should not be called a hotel. It is a Pub/B&B. I had asked for a quiet room at the back when booking. I got a low room at the front and was awake until 3 A.M. listening to the rowdy crowd coming from the disco downstairs

Great location, the bouncers were excellent very friendly and we had a very relaxing stay.

There was no lift but that is because it was an old building

Bed was comfortable, thats about it.

One member of the staff (a foreign male receptionist) was the worst receptionist I've every come across. The area is very very rough. Fights outside every night night, blood outside the hotel doors in the morning, roaring and shouting until 4am every morning. Not a policeman in sight so all hell breaks loose every night. Do Not Stay Here.

Its convenience to city centre. The price was good

Could do with updating

I didnt it was the worst experience ever I booked thru booking.com but wen I arrived they said ther was no booking by me so I ended up paying 55 .there was no t,v working and no working kettle wen I informrd staff I was told there was nothing he could do it ws horrible never again ws surprised with booking.com as ive just booked another holiday thru booking.com and am definatley going to cancel.i did email tara the manager and they did not have the cortesy to even email me

Great price. Nice,big room.

Small tv. Curtains didn't block out the light from the street.

Did not like the hotel and will not be staying there again

Room was cold,locker had a large amount of cigarette burns on it.Ensuite was tiny as was room.Staff wer not dressed in any kind of uniform and were scraggy.Room was not as clean as it could be including a bedside locker with many cigarette burns on it.Very little hanging space in the room.Music playing in bar could clearly be heard in the room.

The hotel is super central in the heart of the city centre with all necessary amenities. The room was lovely with everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Window did not close properly Heating was not switched on and there was no Hot water on morning we left

nice friendly staff and clean room suprised at bad revieue on the net This was a very nice hotel and would stay there again
