Apollo Hotel

"Absolutely aweful place, nothing like the photos, we were there 5 minutes before we starting looking on the internet for other places to stay. Rooms freezing cold, no sound insulation at all so you could hear everything from rooms above and in the corridor. Rooms and shower very unclean with dirty sanitary ware in open bins. Service was ok but nothing special, had to call the person on arrival who attended quickly and gave us keys to the property. Location is very convenient but even given that I would definitely not be staying again and would prefer to spend £100+ extra to stay anywhere but there"

"Very poor quality - shown on Google as 5 star but wouldn't even say it is 1 star. Rooms are dirty, dark and miserable. Photos are not representative of the rooms and it no longer goes by the brand 'Oyo'. Bathroom was not ensuite as expected. It was dirty, had not been cleaned (used sanitary products left in open bin) and did not look looked after. Water for shower was hot but needed to be short to use the shower properly Walls are thin and can hear everything, including being woken up at 2am by other guests. Bed was overly soft and had a lumpy mattress. Great location which is the only saving point Was so bad started searching for alternative hotels!"

"TERRIBLE SERVICE. Booking a hotel room so me and my friend could get some sleep before our 6am eurostar. There were drunk people coming in and out the hotel all night which kept us awake. So many guests complaining to the receptionist about discrepancies in their room which also kept us up. After complaining and asking him to keep the noise down he seemed not to care in the slightest and did nothing to stop this. As well as this the smoke alarm went off 6 times within the night. Every time we had to ring the receptionist to come and turn it off. He told us every time that there was someone in room 7 smoking and this is why it is going off. Why he didn't talk to the person or kick them out I don't know. The last time it went off it was on for over 2 hours. We gave up trying to sleep and left the hotel so early to relax in the train station. I want my money back."

"Everything I expected. I knew it would be small, but I'm on holiday so it was really only for sleeping and a base to come back to. I spent 10 days and had not one issue. I was given a top floor room at the back and it was very quiet. There was no table or chair,but if I brought dinner home I just used the ironing board. Easy. McGlynn' s free house is just over and is a good place to meet locals and visitors alike. The majority of underground lines are just up the road, excellent for getting around. I would recommend staying here as long as you aren't going to sit in the room all day. I would stay here again."
