Terrible! Worst hotel ever!
This hotel was terrible, the furniture was worn out, holes in the carpet and stains in the wall. No shower or I should say no holder for shower part. A sticker on the velux window covered in 20 dead flys probably from summer! It was a nightmare . They don’t want to spend money on it just give it cheap and what a disgrace!

Cheap and cheerful - great if that's what you're looking for: impeccably clean, smoothly run, and Marlon the receptionist is a really nice bloke, couldn't have been more helpful.

Avoid...faulty towers.
We booked the Airman hotel knowing itbwas a budget hotel, we expected it to be basic but not as bad as it was and certainly not as dirty as it was. We arrived on friday afternoon for a one night stay, the outside is very scruffy, long grass old broken benches. We were greeted by a plesant young chap who i initially couldnt find our booking. We were put in room 4 , the hallways were dark and dingy, we opened the door and was greeted by a dim and stuffy room with old damaged furniture but the worst part was the smell of cigaretts. I went to find someonrle to complain as the TV was also broken, they came to the room with a second tv and a can of air freshner!!! We sat there in in what we felt like a dungeon for another hour, looking at dust, stains, scruffy bedding, dirty bathroom and food under the table. We knew we couldnt sleep there it was horrible, we had our dog with us so i had to call round to see if we could find alternative accomodation...we were lucky and left. We have been given a full refund to be fair to the place. We didnt expect the ritz but we did expect it to be clean.

No hair dryer and place was generally dirty, cobwebs etc. The website looks great but in reality it was everything but. Would not recommend nor stay there again.

A very tired hotel that would benefit from redecoration. No breakfast option available. Nothing around within walking distance. However, the Turkish Restaurant (not part of the hotel) was well worth a visit.

Avoid this disgusting hotel
This place is disgusting, dirty and OLD. The stairs were filthy and bending. The room we were staying in was like a storage room for spare furniture in the corners, all the furniture was thick with dust and very dated. The pink carpet had never been cleaned with stains EVERYWHERE. The beds were made of wooden structures with all the fabric half ripped off with no headboards with the pillows dusty with hairs on. NOTHING smelt clean and fresh even when entering the room all the windows were open but yet still smelt stale. When looking around even looked for other hotels but nothing available. Definitely not worth £71 not even worth £20. The tv didn’t work and we we’re overlooking the bins and could hear the mice rummaging through them. It didn’t feel secure or comfortable at all and definitely not clean. The photos were taken very carefully to avoid the reality of this horrific hotel. There was no one to complain to as the reception was closed the whole time we were there. The whole place was dirty, dated and uncomfortable. Surely with charging £70 per room some money could atleast go into updating the hotel and cleaning it thoroughly. Stay very clear of this hotel and avoid at all costs.
