AVOID NIGHTMARE STAY

Absolutely disgusting experience from start to finish. The room stank of weed and cigarettes the moment I walked in I told the receptionist the minute i smelt it i had to change rooms, and despite the advert clearly stating every room comes with a shower, mine had no shower whatsoever.

The worst part was finding a dirty syringe in the room. I accidentally got pricked by the needle and had to go to hospital because of it. Completely unacceptable and honestly dangerous. Because of this horrific experience, I checked out a day early.

The cleanliness, safety, and false advertising were beyond unacceptable. I am absolutely disgusted by my stay and would strongly advise others to avoid this hotel.

This is a basic cheap hotel in a convenient location for the Elizabeth Line into London. The room was a good size and generally clean. The en-suite was fine although the shower was a bit temperamental and was not great pressure. I still managed to wash my hair. The mattress on the bed was lumpy and could do with being replaced but I slept well enough. The heater in the room was handy. The breakfast was basic and self-service but very reasonable considering the price paid. It was really handy having the parking outside which meant that I felt my car was fairly safe while I was out and about. All in all, you get what you pay for. This is convenient but basic. I would use it again.

Couldn’t be better

When we went to check in the receptionist said that we can’t stay there cos of maintenance issues so he gave an other hotel Best western. That area is very nice place close to exchange mall. The room was so neat and tidy. But the only problem was you couldn’t take shower cos the water is too hot. My mum needed to go to a party without taking shower. They finally fixed the problem in the evening but I had to check out that day due to I no longer needed a hotel. Otherwise I was happy to stay in the hotel. There was a fan in the room too which was very much handy in need of this summer weather. I thank the hotel for their service too. Thank you very much 😀

We arrived and got told wed be sent to another hotel (which seemd like a bonus at the time as this one was rated higher than the current one). The room had the bare minimum (not even a bedside table), the toilet seat was slightly broken and the wardrobe was broken. Our room had an external door which was unlocked so had to ask to get that locked (when asked they said it was!). This door let so much light in we couldnt get a nights sleep. Someone also tried to get into our room too in the night. Overall an unsafe experience. When i complained they offered to move us back to the other hotel, which we declined and got our money back through Expedia. Had to book a Travelodge instead. Do not stay here!

Worst Experience. Checking in was a nightmare, staff has bad communication skills. Had to sigh a weaver even though I booked the stay on Expedia a reputable company. Then had to deposit another £100 or can’t check in. Am thinking why didn’t I just stay at the Travelodge. Worst part when you check out you don’t receive the £100 for like 28 days, sigh in this economy. Had to do the review to warn other customers. The price is low so you think you’re saving money but you end up sending way more. A scam really

Worst room i have ever stayed in

One of the worst rooms i have ever stayed in.

Room was affordable for one night in london so it was booked.

The pictures of the room looked nice but i was greeted with the exact opposite.

Carpets were old and dirty with edges of the floor exposed. The room smelt of an unpleasant odour. The walls had damp. The foundation of the bed was stained.

Only access to the room was a patio door which was difficult to open.

Most of the electric ports didn’t work, the TV had no remote so I couldn’t use it.

There was a fridge that was in the center of the room which was turned off, when i opened it, a terrible smell filled the room.

The aircon was loud and i assume i was adjoined to another room as there was movement that kept me up throughout the night.

I felt so uncomfortable and got no sleep.

I was asked to give a £100 security deposit for this room which is estimated i would not get back for 14 days.

I understand you get what you paid for but this is not what was advertised on the listing.

Would not recommend staying here.

1/5 - Disappointing Experience with Hidden Fees

I booked a room at Woodlands Hotel, only to be surprised with a £100 cash deposit requirement upon arrival. This policy was not disclosed during the booking process, which I believe is unacceptable.

As a consumer, I expect transparency in pricing and policies. Hiding such a significant requirement until check-in is unfair and feels like a bait-and-switch tactic.

I cancelled my booking and went to a nearby Travelodge instead. I'm still awaiting a refund for my original booking.

To potential guests, beware of Woodlands Hotel's hidden fees. To the hotel management, I suggest revising your policy to clearly disclose all requirements upfront

Uncomfortable and Weird

Unfortunately the room did not match how the hotel is advertised on the website. The place was really unclean, there was mildew on the bed covers and the property stunk of weed. The bathroom was shared, which was not as described and it was also extremely unclean and very poorly maintained. The room we were given was in a conpletely seperate building which was basically a house about fiften doors down from the main building, which again is not as described on the website. Facilities were reslly lacking, and didn't match the pictures shown on the website. There was no tv in the room, and the room was extremely basic. Would not reccomend this to anybody and we actually ended up leaving without staying the night as we felt so uncomfortable.

Don't book there.

The front desk employee who greeted me was rather cold and unfriendly. He asked me to pay 100 pounds as a safety deposit, but his machine couldn't read my card, so he asked me to \"find a bank and withdraw cash.\" There were no banks nearby and it was pouring down rain. I had to go twice and spend 25 minutes in the rain to get the money.
The \"breakfast\" consisted of two cereal containers, white sliced bread, and a few boiled eggs. It was very little and not appetizing. The \"dining room\" was untidy and unwelcoming.

We was moved to another hotel on check in which wasn't told before arriving. Due to going specifically for a hospital admission the fact it was further to walk after all pre op meds was not good and wish we had been told in advance. You get what you pay for. Needed a on suite room due to the hospital stay and even in new hotel we had on suite. Room very basic and bed very uncomfortable but cheap and staff helpful enough. Still awaiting my refund if the deposit and staff didn't know when I would receive it which wasn't great.check in was very quick and check out is 24 hour which we needed due to leaving at 5am.

We didn't eat breakfast but at that price, it doesn't matter.
Only 10 minute walk to the station and less than an hour to all the major attractions in London.

Not the best but not the worst it's essentially several houses in a street and each house has been converted into rooms so you go to number 60 which has this limited reception they tell you which house to go to in my case it was like 150 meters first down the street the rooms are okay my room is freezing I couldn't turn the bathroom light off I mentioned this during my three day stay each day always told somebody were fixing but maybe did breakfast was laughable almost at a point of non-existing however the room was ok for what I paid it's fair enough the area is okay very multicultural so you have decent food options and shopping as close to the Elizabeth line to it isn't a hotel.

Pathetic hole reservation

Upon our arrival and check-in at around 8:00 PM, we were dismayed to discover the poor condition of our room. The room had not been cleaned, with dirty sheets covered in hair. We were not informed beforehand that the toilet and shower facilities were shared among six other guests, which were in a terrible state. The front desk staff seemed oblivious to the importance of maintaining hygiene. When we raised our concerns, they responded with laughter. As a result, we chose to leave the premises within an hour of checking in, opting for a different property with comparable pricing. It is disappointing that this substandard establishment is listed under a well-regarded h my Hotel.xom group.
We incurred a financial loss of £123 and experienced inconvenience and distress due to this unfortunate situation. Adding to our frustration, the lodge refused to offer any refund despite our short stay. Additionally, a £100 security deposit, which could have been refunded immediately, will take between 4 to 14 working days to be returned.
We expect the prompt refund of our security deposit and will explore options for obtaining at least a partial refund since we did not utilize the booked facilities. This experience has led us to reconsider our future engagement with Hotels.com.

Room itself was really quite nice, bed was very comfortable. The walls were paper-thin, so pray for quiet neighbours! The outside bathrooms (in their little outhouses) were a bit odd, just as well it wasn't too cold this weekend else that would have been unpleasant. The whole place seemed a bit tired and rundown, but it was serviceable enough. Good comms from the hotel pre-arrival which was appreciated.

Foul

I don’t even know where to begin. The hotel was hard to find and didn’t look like one at all. It smelled of stale cigarettes and dampness. The carpets were filthy and sticky, clearly not vacuumed in months. The rooms were nothing like the photos- our bed was unmade and covered in hair and stains, which were clearly bodily fluids. To be blunt, there were blood, urine, fecal matter and semen stains.

We had to pay a £100 deposit, which was returned, but it’s a steep requirement if you’re short on funds. The furniture was dirty and in disrepair, and the shared bathroom was a nightmare: a broken toilet, dirty soap and shower, and hair everywhere.

A guest next door even urinated on the floor, and my friend stepped in it in the dark. We felt unsafe even with our door locked. We skipped breakfast because we couldn’t bear to stay any longer. The next morning, I developed a stye, likely from the unclean conditions and pillows.

We rushed home for baths and would never return to this place, even for money. It was absolutely foul.
