The Connaught Hotel Wolverhampton

Parking was secure and easy to find

There is extensive renovation going on and the bar area is very small. Also there is no eating facilities while the renovation is going on. My window in the room would not close so it was cold at night

The hotel was clearly under renovation. The place was very shabby and smelt of fresh (an ugly green) paint. There was no restaurant facilities available, so no breakfast. The lift was out of order. Definitely not to be recommended.

Very comfortable bed. However the property is part way through a refurbishment which is impacting on the cleanliness of the public areas and rooms.

This hotel is truly awful. The most recent reviews confirm the negative experiences. It’s in a terrible state, dirty and noisy. The fire alarm went off in the evening and the curtains were so filthy I couldn’t even touch them. The bathroom had missing tiles and the floor grout was black instead of the expected colour. The lift is out of order and appeared to have been so for a very long time so if you struggle with stairs, you must avoid this place. If you’re looking for a clean hotel and a good night’s sleep, this isn’t the place for you.

it used to be a best western but clearly isn’t any more, been bought out and it’s turned into an awful place. the room stank, the carpets didn’t even reach the edge of the room and was lifting at the sides, the doors creaked, the floors creaked, the walls creaked, the bed creaked worst of all and for someone with sleeping problems i’d be awake all night. plug sockets didn’t work, the bathroom was a state and didn’t fancy showering in dirt and grime. people banging on the doors, you can hear every room in your corridor as if people were talking next to you, screaming and drunks from the estate behind and the car park was no where near secure as our car was being eyed up as we parked. stayed for all of 20 minutes before booking elsewhere. front desk said our reasons for leaving ‘wasn’t good enough’ and excuses. cheap doesn’t mean cheerful, AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Allegedly being refurbished. Entranceway from main road looked very good, but reality was different. Old carpets on the staircase - on the uprisers the carpet was dangerously hanging off - a health and safety hazard waiting to catch heels of people walking down the stairs. Lift didn't work and we were on the second floor with suitcases. Room terrrible: bed mattress uncomfortable and lumpy, window wouldn't shut, toilet leaked, shower hose leaked, mould on the grout, no bedside table one side; no plug in the sink; no handle on toilet brush (hidden on the inside, very unhygienic); only one set of towels (but two of us). One cup and one mug for tea/coffee making (ie didn't even match). The walls appeared to have been painted, but the woodwork was very dirty. Just a very very poor room for the money we paid for one night (£89.99), when compared with Premier Inn, or Travelodge. Would never stay there again!!

Very very basic, lift not working, no water pressure. Bed was fairly comfortable. If you want cheap and not so cheerful then go for it. If not spend a little more and stay somewhere else

Parking was good

This was the worst hotel I have stayed in in years. The name suggests something far better than reality. The hotel is very tired. The restaurant does not operate. The clientele seem to be mainly local workers (some nice people but a bit scary). The bath was flimsy and had a burn mark in it. The room was otherwise clean. The fire alarm went off early morning. There was a lot of commotion from a couple of doors down in the night. I then received a fine from a third party company because I had parked in the car park overnight. I saw no signs and no mention was made about parking when I checked in. The website said that parking was free. Never again will I consider staying at that hotel. It should be shut down.

If I could uploaded pictures I would this is the worst hotel Iv ever stayed at everything was filthy there was mould on the ceiling bathroom handle had fallen off the ceiling outside of our bedroom had fallen through from the roof of the building leaking there was also a massive stain on the carpet where the ceiling had fell through from water damage the lift was out of order and the list would just go on and on avoid at all costs this hotel is worth no more than £20 a night it’s also full of homeless people that have been booked in

The hotel is dirty smelly. The room is dirty a used tea spoon was left in room. The towel had stink on it. The hotel need a revamped. From the reception area the hotel looks great but once u get to first floor felt like u are in a different building

I am absolutely shocked at the service and state of this hotel. It’s unbelievable that this place is taking bookings the condition of this hotel is unacceptable. The toilet seat was broken, the heating in my room wasn’t working. I stayed for 2 nights and spoke to staff regarding this I was just told that the boiler will be reset. On arrival I was told that the floor my room is on there is no signal, my TV wasn’t working. The room was absolutely freezing cold I was shivery most of the time. The cleanliness was appalling I am allergic to dust and as you can see on the pictures I attached the room was very dirty and dusty. First and last time I stay here! Although it was very cheap unfortunately it still wasn’t worth it. The lift was very smelly.

These rooms are those are from 90s and nothing is clean even towels have hole in it Bedshetts got hairs

The hotel was unkept dirty mo kitchen room disgusting dirt everywhere worse experience i have ever had

Overall the hotel is run down and tired looking. Broken steps and trip hazard leading to front door. Corridors smelt of stale cigarette smoke. Mattress had a huge dentition in the springs on one side. Bathroom broken handle on door, dangerous broken electric cover on heated towel rail. Cracked/broken window and covered in cobwebs. Shower wash empty and shower head broken so could not fix at any height. Toilet brush no handle. Room not serviced. Sadly this hotel is indicative of the general area, run down, dirty with rubbish and unloved or cared for.

The hotel was terrible. Lift didn’t work. Bathroom was horrible and sink were leaking. Was flood in bathroom. No room cleaning services . Stayed there for three nights but room Wer not cleaned once even. No toilet tissues . Was terrible experience not proper lock on door too.

Do not stay here - you would have a better time sleeping in your car. I have stayed in some bad places in my time but this is another level of bad. When we arrived it was evident there was some work being done in the dining area. That’s fine. Start going up the stairs to the hotel and it’s another story. Plaster coming off the walls, holes in the wall, broken lift out of action and ladies toilets out of order. Our room…well you can see from the pictures. Black and yellow and sporous mould in the bathroom. The bathroom door was a complete state, had no handle and looked like someone had previously kicked it in. We spoke to the hotel and they said to contact Expedia who we had booked with. Expedia were useless and said we could have £25 refund in vouchers. We had a show to go to so went out and tried to console ourselves that we were just staying for one night. When we returned to the hotel it was unbearable. There was a function room directly underneath us with a really loud party. The base of the music was causing the whole room to vibrate! This was at 9.45am. We spoke to the hotel and Expedia. Expedia said wait 3-4 days for a response from them. The hotel said the party would be done by 10.15pm. We waited till 10.30 and it was no better and we were exhausted so decided to leave. Do not stay here - you would have a better time sleeping in your car.

Very run down rooms and corridors. The water in the toilet cistern was flowing all night so loud. Also 2am some people were arguing shouting in the corridor or some other room

Having read some of the reviews, I approached my visit - particularly the guest who said that he would have rather slept in his car- but it was ok. It wasn't perfectly clean and the shower was a bit hit and miss (my son said the shower in hid room was great), but it was ok. Petfectly average, but not good value - my room was £125. The biggest issue was one of the windows in my room would've close so not ideal in November. Would I stay there again? No. It was over priced and too nany niggly issues.

There is extensive renovation going on and the bar area is very small. Also there is no eating facilities while the renovation is going on. My window in the room would not close so it was cold at night

This hotel is a disaster. Lift was broken, main door to the park8ng lot was broken, window in our room was broken, rugs were torn and dirty, linens were dirty. Right outside of our room, a huge piece of the ceiling had collapsed and there was a caution cone in the middle of the hallway. Upon check-in, the desk clerk hand-wrote our room number on the key card. In more than 30 years of travel, this is probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

A bit too noisy from some adjacent rooms for my liking and was woken a few occasion during the night with people shouting but the cost of the stay was cheap so maybe expected and wifi was good.

Old carpets on the staircase - on the uprisers the carpet was dangerously hanging off - a health and safety hazard waiting to catch heels of people walking down the stairs.

All mostly fine, except window didn't close and heating permanently on in bathroom.

Very very basic, lift not working, no water pressure. Bed was fairly comfortable. If you want cheap and not so cheerful then go for it. If not spend a little more and stay somewhere else

Don’t have anything positive to say about the hotel overall to be honest. 3 of us stayed in 3 separate rooms and all had issues. I had a room where the heating wouldn’t switch off, mattress was uncomfortable and felt like it needed flipping, also my shower was held together with electrical tape. The second of us had no heating whatsoever and ended up sleeping in his coat on what seemed to be an old uncomfortable mattress. The third of us had to move rooms due to an overpowering smell of mould. Hotel very dated and worn down, no lift at all. Screaming kids down every hallway. Won’t ever be coming back

we had a fantastic stay at the Connaught, even tho it's under a bit of a refurb, it looks like it's being modernized, everything was great, smooth check in, spotless room, free parking, literally no complaints, but overall special thanks to Tony, what a superb host, nothing was too much bother, he (and Adam) are an absolute credit.

Hotel was dirty, the room wasn’t clean for the 4 days I was there, tv didn’t work properly, the windows didn’t lock or close and I was in a ground floor room, I had no hot water the last 2 days I was there. Hotel manager didn’t care one bit. If you haven’t just crossed the channel in a dingy, then do not stay in this “hotel”

A basic hotel for a basic price. In the middle of some updating by the looks of it and definitely needs it in the corridors. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Terrible hotel. Falling apart. Staff unwilling to assist with multiple broken items. No facility maintenance exists. Incredibly dirty.

Parking available & shops nearby Very tired looking establishment . Staff friendly. Bed comfortable & quiet room

Elevator is out of order. Part of the hotel is renovating so there is dust at the pathway to the car park.(and in the room is also dusty.) The most serious issue is the shower valve is not functioning for the warm or cold water so there is only very hot water is coming and it almost burns me. I tried to inform the receptionist but he said that he couldn’t do anything except trying off and on the main water boiler which could not help for our problem. I asked to change the new room but he didn’t allow us. The next morning I told this problem to another guy at the reception and he said sorry and he told me that he would contact Expedia to compensate something to us but nothing happened until now.

I liked the excellent and friendly staff. I didn't like that there was not a servicing of the room on the Saturday or the Sunday.

We got the train

Hotel obviously being brought up to standard but no breakfast or restaurant available during our stay, some fittings in our room were not up to standard(bathroom tap loose,one light did not worketc). Staff were ok

This is a basic hotel at a great price. The room is clean and great for a 1 night overstay. The personnel were great and very helpful. Still able to get a few beers in the evening below at the desk. Rooms on the top floors are noisy. Free parking behind the hotel is very convenient. Hotel itself is not clean but they are re-decorating the inside. All in all: Happy to have found it and happy to leave.
