The Railway Inn

Précisons que notre avis porte uniquement sur l(hôtel et non sur le restaurant que nous n'avons pas testé. Expérience lamentable : une nuit à 206 € dans un hôtel de passe calamiteux ! Un établissement exécrable, miteux et peu sûr. Sous un label ahurissant et totalement incompréhensible affichant 3 étoiles. C’est en nous basant sur les photos obsolètes vues sur site que nous avions réservé cet établissement en confiance. Avec un enfant ado ! Les chambres à l’étage portent toutes des noms évocateurs : ‘les 5 cochons’, ‘le point zéro’, ‘la 3ème fille’, ‘attache mes chaussures’, etc. Preuve de l’activité de l’endroit et magie de la traçabilité, à peine étions nous arrivés que nos gsm ont automatiquement référé d’établissements proches comme ‘rendez-vous amoureux’ ! Localisation de périphérie près d’axes chargés et en arrière de gare. Clients glauques sur le parking arrière. Pas d’entretien. Chambre sale, vétuste, tapisserie en lambeaux, araignées, poussière, châsse d’eau coulant en permanence. Seul point positif : les petits déjeuners et le restaurant assurés par deux serveuses agréables et dynamiques...

On arrival, gave our room key and shown entrance when pub shut how to use everything etc. Put in a room which was fine but had tape down across the floor to the bathroom. When we asked for towels, Tommy apologised and said we should not even be in that room, so he helped my husband move to a bigger and better room. Tommy could not do enough for us. Breakfast has lots of choices. You just have to ask as there's no menu. Again Tommy brilliant with service and prompt delivery. A very happy chap. Id suggest a pot of sauces on the table for breakfast as its "can we have, have you got" all the time. Tommy stood out as a fantastic member of staff always polite and worked very hard.always a pleasure. Thank you Our room was very cold at night no heating on except set times so pleased that we had a hot water bottle, but we both had to wear clothes to get warm. When spoke to other residents they said the same.(No phone in the room to call anyone) Room smelt musty so could do with maybe a freshener plug in? The bathroom needs a table or some shelves as there is nowhere to put your wash bags down apart from the floor, and im not a fan of that! There could do with maybe a few more hooks in the bathroom too. 1 on the door is not enough. The room was tired, needs a freshen up on the paint and wall paper, beds comfy, lots of wardrobe hanging spaces, mirrors. Enjoyed our stay. Reasonable price too.

The breakfast was fab and very service

The staff were super, friendly polite and efficient. Food was excellent. Room very clean and comfortable. Will definitely recommend and use again.

The hotel is dated and due to be renovated over the next few months I believe. But even so, it was a pleasant stay and the location perfect for my needs. Bar was lovely and breakfast included is always a bonus.
