Barrow Hotels

"Great little stop over. Loads of little touches that were appreciated"

"I really wanted to like this place because it’s a nice setting, but unfortunately, the experience was marred by a very tired room that clearly hasn't seen a deep clean or maintenance in a long time. The Room Condition The level of neglect was honestly shocking. • Walls & Carpets: The room is full of scuffs and what looks like possible blood splatter on the walls (see photos). • Maintenance: Cracks in the plaster and chipped paint throughout made the space feel grimy rather than cozy. Sleep Quality If you’re looking for a restful night, look elsewhere. • The Bed: I dealt with a lumpy, uncomfortable bed paired with thin, uncomfortable pillows that offered zero support. • Noise: To make matters worse, my room backed onto the yard. There is a loud generator noise throughout the night that made it nearly impossible to sleep. Bottom line: It's a shame because the exterior and grounds are lovely, but the interiors are in desperate need of an overhaul. I wouldn't recommend staying here until they address the hygiene and noise issues."

"Lovely stay. Staff very nice and helpful. "

"Where do I start! We stayed here 4 years ago and it was marvellous.it was thriving ,busy, Bustling . This time when we arrived we was told check in your car else you’ll get a fine ( great fair enough.) Then sign in and il take a card off you just in case your room gets trashed! Wow! We’re in our 60’s definitely not rock stars, id rather watch telly than chuck it out of the window! The chap then said it’s so busy here because of the bank holiday ( Monday) that the dining room may not have space / to book in as soon as possible! We didn’t want to dine in as we went into the town anyway. Breakfast was 7-9 again because it was busy . Room was comfortable and clean but tired! Creaky floor boards . Went down to breakfast at 8am not a soul to be seen. There was a list of how many rooms booked for breakfast. They were so busy yeah. 5! 3 had already been and gone! We waited a good 5 minutes before we even saw anyone. Then we had breakfast which was nice but instead of buffet it was given to us plated . On leaving an hour later.took cards back to reception. Not a word . We won’t be back again! Travel lodge cheaper £ 97 I didn’t expect the world but much better than what we got"

"Fabulous hotel, stopped here a few times & will be back again Staff very helpful from reception, breakfast to cleaners, all polite & making sure your stay is well Room clean, spacious, was let in quickly due to arriving early, breakfast enough choice Great for town centre & also not far from iron museums"

"this is our 3rd time here, and we have already booked to stay in a couple weeks time, excellent staff, who are friendly and approachable, Karl on reception is fantastic! lovely pool are, and great distance to the waterfront and shopping centre."

"In the room the carpet was filthy. The mattresses were too soft. The internet was poor. The downstairs area looked very uninviting, like it had been left to rot. It was dark and depressing. There was no nice common area to sit and relax in. The carpet on the way to the rooms looked like it hadn't been changed since the 1950s and was threadbare and dirty. The area near the landing toilets was old and smelled of sewage The whole place needs an absolutely thorough makeover."

"Told on arrival no food as they said working on kitchen, dining room not open or any room service. Hotel isn't that close to other places either. Not even snacks or sandwiches or hot drinks other than those in the room. They could have provided a temporary provision. Instead told get a takeaway delivered and even delivery drivers took a long time given location. This hotel should not be trading as a 3 star hotel without any catering or any food. Room was cold also as heating on a timer so had to get hotel to provide a fan heater. Only one pillow on beds too low. All together a poor stay, shame as hotel so. Much potential and character. "

"Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff. On arrival we were met by Molly who showed us to our room. We stayed on a bank holiday weekend and the bar area was very busy, great outdoor area with Mexican bar. We booked the double superior room (room 1) which has plenty of space. Huge four poster bed. Large en-suite with large shower. Tea/coffee/hot chocolate facilities provided in room. TV, Hair dryer, ironing board, fan also in the room.The only issue that maybe a problem is the room windows do back onto the beer garden but this didn't bother us at all. Prices at the bar were very reasonable. Didn't have food so can't comment on that. Check out was 11am so not to early and its just putting room key into the box before leaving (so easy)."
