The Parisienne Hotel

Location of hotel

. No heating! Draft coming from screwed shut windows, horrible scaffolding outside. Broken shower tap, loose flush handle. Horrible ceiling tiles, broken plaster on walls. Broken springs on the bed.

Nothing. This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

The place was dirty and unclean. Smelled of foist and damp. The rooms were tiny and bathrooms too small, you could sit on the toilet and have a shower at the same time. The shower drained really slow so the tray filled up and nearly overflowed if you stayed in there over 2 minutes. The bed was so uncomfortable that Id’ve slept on the floor if the room had been big enough. The hotel had scaffolding all around it and a half filled skip outside. We booked in at 2 pm and had to wait 15 minutes before anyone came on reception, meanwhile we had a look in the dining room and there was still spilled food on the tables from breakfast. The first room they gave us, the curtain rail had fallen down, luckily, as this was even smaller than the room they eventually gave us. We got ready to go out and decided to have a beer in the bar, after waiting another 15 minutes for the arrogant guy on reception to show up, we asked for a pint of Fosters - the barrel needed changing - so we asked for cider - the barrel needed changing, asked for lemonade- hadn’t got any! We settled on a couple of bottles of beer and were told that we had to pay with the correct money as there was no float. After going round Blackpool and seeing a Beatles tribute show we returned to the hotel, luckily another guy was on duty and was very apologetic but there were empty glasses and cans and other debris on all the tables. We decided to go to bed. After the worst nights sleep ever we decided to cut our losses and leave the hotel after one night even though we’d booked for two, we decided to give breakfast a miss after my girlfriend read a review saying that they had found a pubic hair in theirs. I’d advise anybody to give this dump a wide body swerve. I’m going to plaster this review all over social media so nobody makes the mistake we did. Avoid at all costs.

The location and the downstairs bar. Shower was ok, Reception staff were friendly.

The utter and constant foul stench in the bedroom! The constant dripping water on the window. The sticky dirty carpet with iron burns. The darkness and lack of air. The missing light bulbs and sink plugs. The poor value for money "veggie" breakfast - bread, tomatoes and beans for a fiver! And the scaffolding blocking the lovely view from the breakfast room
